Answer:
Length = 16 inches and width = 12inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 192 in² . The width is 4 + 1/2x. therefore let x = length
Area = LW
192 = x(4 + 1/2 x)
192 = 4x + 1/2x²
384 = 8x + x² Multiply each term by 2 to make a
384 + 16 = x² + 8x + 16 Complete the square
400 = (x + 4)²
± 20 = x + 4
20 = x + 4 or -20 = x + 4
20 - 4 = x or -20 - 4 = x
16 = x or -24 = x reject the negative amount
Length = 16
width = 4 + 1/2(16); 4 + 8 = 12
Answer:
The probability is 0.0775
The expected value is 4.75 clubs
The standard deviation is 1.8875 clubs
Step-by-step explanation:
The variable X follows a binomial distribution, because we have n identical and independent events (19 cards) with a probability p of success and 1-p of fail (there is a probability of 1/4 to be club and 3/4 to be diamond, heart or spade). Then, the probability that x of the n cards are club is:
So, the probability P of drawing at least 8 clubs is:
P = P(8) + P(9) + P(10) + ... + P(18) + P(19)
Replacing, the values of x, from 8 to 19, on the equation above, we get:
P = 0.0775
Additionally, the expected value E(x) and standard deviationS(x) for this distribution is given by:
E(x)=np = 19(0.25) = 4.75
