Answer:

  • 76 = 2(x + (3x-2))
  • 28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x represents the length in feet, and the width is 2 ft shorter than 3 times the length, the width is 3x-2.

The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width, so we can write the equation ...

  76 = 2(x + (3x-2))

  38 = 4x -2 . . . . . divide by 2, simplify

  40 = 4x . . . . . . . .add 2

  10 = x . . . . . . . . . the length of the garden is 10 ft

The width of the garden is ...

  3·10 -2 = 28 . . . feet

The width of the garden is 28 feet.

In order to estimate the mean amount of time computer users spend on the internet each​ month, how many computer users must be s
levacccp [35]

Answer:

1877 computer users

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that for 95% of confident, the value of z has a value of 1.96 (attached table about it), they also mention the margin of error (E) that is 10 and finally the standard deviation (sd) that has a value of 221.

We apply the following formula:

n = [z * sd / E] ^ 2

replacing:

n = [1.96 * 221/10] ^ 2

n = 1876.27

that is, the minimum sample size is 1877

What is the probability that a fair die never comes up an even number when it is rolled six times? (note: enter the value of pro
seropon [69]
Let us compute first the probability of ending up an odd number when rolling a dice. A dice has faces with numbers 1 up to 6. The odd numbers within that is 3 (1, 3 and 5). Therefore, each dice has a probability of 3/6 or 1/2. Then, you use the repeated trials formula:

Probability = n!/r!(n-r)! * p^r * q^(n-r), where n is the number of tries (n=6), r is the number tries where you get an even number (r=0), p is the probability of having an even face and q is the probability of having an odd face.

Probability = 6!/0!(6!) * (1/2)^0 * (1/2)^6
Probability = 1/64

Therefore, the probability is 1/64 or 1.56%.

I need help with number 8,please.
kodGreya [7K]
Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed. 
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.  
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

U= {A,B,C,D,E,F,G}

X = {A, B, C, D}

Y = {A, C, E, F}

a) X or Y = {A, B, C, D} and {A, C, E, F} = {A, B, C, D, E, F}

B) X and Y = {A, B, C, D} or {A, C, E, F} = {A, C}

c) Complement of X = {A,B,C,D,E,F,G} - {A, B, C, D} = {B,D,G}
