Answer: The length is 31 inches and the width is 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation: The first clue we have is that the length is given as 4 inches more than three times the width. So if the width is W, then the length would be three times W and then add four to it. Hence, the length would be,

3W + 4

Therefore Length = 3W + 4 and Width = W

If the perimeter has been given as 80 inches, we can now apply the formulae for perimeter of a rectangle.

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

(Having determined the values of Length and Width...)

Perimeter = 2(3W + 4 + W)

Perimeter = 2(4W + 4)

Perimeter = 8W + 8

Having been given the perimeter as 80,

80 = 8W + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation

72 = 8W

Divide both sides of the equation by 8

9 = W

Having calculated the width as 9 inches, the length given as 3W + 4 now becomes

L = 3(9) + 4

L = 27 + 4

L = 31

Therefore length = 31 inches and width = 9 inches

The brand name of Mrs. Fields (cookies) has a 90% recognition rate. If Mrs. fields herself wants to verify that rate by beginnin
Schach [20]

Answer:

0.3874 = 38.74% probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.

0.6126 = 61.26% probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each consumer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they recognize the name, or they do not. The probability of a customer recognizing the name is independent of anu other customer. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The brand name of Mrs. Fields (cookies) has a 90% recognition rate.

This means that p = 0.9.

Sample of 10

This means that n = 10

Find the probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.

This is P(X = 9). So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.9)^{9}.(0.1)^{1} = 0.3874

0.3874 = 38.74% probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.

Also, find the probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.

1(100%) subtracted by those who recognize. So

1 - 0.3874 = 0.6126

0.6126 = 61.26% probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.
