L = 3 + w

2(L+w) < 52. Substitute the first equation into inequality

2(3 + w +w) < 52
2(3+2w) < 52 Divide both sides by 2
3 + 2w < 26
2w < 26-3
2w < 23
w < 23/2
w < 11.5

Recall, L = 3+w.
w < 11.5 Add 3 to both sides.
w+3 < 11.5 +3
L < 14.5.

The width is less than 11.5, and the length is less than 14.5.

Answer:

a. the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

b. the probability of picking two navy or two black is

= 56/156 + 20/156 = 76/156 = 0.487

c. the probability of either 2 navy socks is picked or one black & one navy socks.

= 40/156 + 56/156 = 96/156 = 0.615

Step-by-step explanation:

A sock drawer contains 8 navy blue socks and 5 black socks with no other socks.

If you reach in the drawer and take two socks without looking and without replacement, what is the probability that:

Solution:

total socks = N = 8 + 5 + 0 = 13

a) you will pick a navy sock and a black sock?

Let A be the probability of picking a navy socks first.

Then P (A) = 8/13

without replacing the navy sock, will pick the black sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let B be the probability of picking a black sock again.

P (B) = 5/12.

Then, the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

b) the colors of the two socks will match?

Let A be the probability of picking a navy socks first.

Then P (A) = 8/13

without replacing the navy sock, will pick another navy sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let B be the probability of another navy sock again.

P (B) = 7/12.

Then, the probability of picking 2 navy sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (7/12) = 56/156 = 0.359

Let D be the probability of picking a black socks first.

Then P (D) = 5/13

without replacing the black sock, will pick another black sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let E be the probability of another black sock again.

P (E) = 4/12.

Then, the probability of picking 2 black sock = P (D & E)

= (5/13 ) * (4/12) = 5/39 = 0.128

Now, the probability of picking two navy or two black is

= 56/156 + 20/156 = 76/156 = 0.487

c) at least one navy sock will be selected?

this means, is either you pick one navy sock and one black or two navy socks.

so, if you will pick a navy sock and a black sock, the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

also, if you will pick 2 navy sock, Then, the probability of picking 2 navy sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (7/12) = 56/156 = 0.359

now either 2 navy socks is picked or one black one navy socks.

= 40/156 + 56/156 = 96/156 = 0.615

A. Create a set of 5 points that are very close together and record the standard deviation. Next, add a sixth point that is far

defon

Answer: The addition of the new point alters the previous standard deviation greatly

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial five points be : 2 3 4 5 and 6. In order to calculate the standard deviation for this data, we will need to calculate the mean first.

Mean = summation of scores/number of scores.

The mean is therefore: (2+3+4+5+6)/5 = 20/5 = 4.

We'll also need the sum of the squares of the deviations of the mean from all the scores.

Since mean = 4, deviation of the mean from the score "2" = score(2) - mean (4)

For score 3, it is -1

For 4, it's 0

For 5 it's 1

For 6 it's 2.

The squares for -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 respectively will be 4, 1 , 0, 1, 4. Summing them up we have 10 i.e (4+1+0+1+4=10).

Calculating the standard deviation, we apply the formula:

√(summation of (x - deviation of mean)^2)/N

Where N means the number of scores.

The standard deviation = √(10/5) = 1.4142

If we add another score or point that is far away from the original points, say 40, what happens to the standard deviation. Let's calculate to find out.

i.e we now have scores: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 40

We calculate by undergoing same steps.

Firstly mean. The new mean = (2+3+4+5+6+40)/6 = 60/6 = 10.

The mean deviations for the scores : 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 40 are -8, -7, -6, -5, -4 and 30 respectively. The squares of these deviations are also 64, 49, 36, 25, 16 and 900 respectively as well. Their sum will then be 1090. i.e. (64+49+36+25+16+900 = 1090).

The new standard deviation is then=

√(1090/6)

= √181.67

= 13.478.

It's clear that the addition of a point that's far away from the original points greatly alters the size of the standard deviation as seen /witnessed in this particular instance where the standard deviation rises from 1.412 to 13.478

A garden table and a bench cost 816 combined. The garden table costs 84 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

klemol [59]

Answer:

366

Step-by-step explanation:

A garden table and bench cost 816 when combined together

The garden table cost 84 less than the bench

Therefore the price of the bench can be calculated as follows

x + (x+84)= 816

2x+84= 816

2x= 816-84

2x= 732

Divide both sides by 2

x= 732/2

= 366

Hence the price of the bench is 366
