Answer:

29119.66666...+14561.3333...=43681, 209ft^2, not square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

"One side of a rectangle is 3 feet shorter than twice the other side find the sides if the area is 209 feet squared"

Ok, so this is a tricky one- 209 feet squared, not 209 square feet, therefore the area is 209^2, or 43,681.

Next, let's define our variables-

x= the "other side"

z= 3 feet shorter than twice side

We can now make these (useful) equations

z=2x-3

43681= (2x-3)+x

We will focus on the latter for now-

Simplify

43681= (2x-3)+x

43681= 2x-3+x

43681= 3x-3

43684=3x

14561.3333...=x

z=2x-3

z=2*(14561.3333)-3

z=29119.66666....

29119.66666...+14561.3333...=43681

Answer:

The confidence interval is $0.2857< p < 0.4601$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 118

The number that gave the correct answer is k = 44

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p = \frac{44}{118}$

=> $\^ p =0.3729$

Generally given that the confidence level is 95% the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = (100 -95) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n} }$

=> $E = 1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{0.3729(1 - 0.3729)}{118} }$

=> $E = 0.0872$

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\r p -E < p < \r p +E$

=> $0.3729 -0.0872< p < 0.3729 +0.0872$

=> $0.2857< p < 0.4601$
