I think its perimeter so you do 10x2=20 and 20x2=40 and add 20+40 to get 60 so the answer is 60 cause it says "fencing" which is the outer border

therefore answer is 60 feet

200 feet of fencing material 10 * 20 = 200

Find the perimeter of the triangle. 16% + 16) cm (9%-11) cm

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Three equal sides, so lets find one by solving for x

6x + 16 = 9x-11

-3x = -27

x = 9

6(9) + 16 = 70

9(9) - 11 = 70

70(3) = 210 cm

The probability of flu symptoms for a person not receiving any treatment is 0.038. In a clinical trial of a common drug used to

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

36.32% probability that at least 47 people experience flu symptoms. This is not an unlikely event, so this suggests that flu symptoms are not an adverse reaction to the drug.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 1164, p = 0.038$

$\mu = E(X) = np = 1164*0.038 = 44.232$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = 6.5231$

Estimate the probability that at least 47 people experience flu symptoms.

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \geq 47 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 46.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 46.5.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{46.5 - 44.232}{6.5231}$

$Z = 0.35$

$Z = 0.35$ has a 0.6368

1 - 0.6368 = 0.3632

36.32% probability that at least 47 people experience flu symptoms. This is not an unlikely event, so this suggests that flu symptoms are not an adverse reaction to the drug.
