Answer:

The dimensions of the screen are

Length:102 feet

Width: 82 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the rectangle (movie screen) is equal to

A=LW

where

L is the length

W is the width

we have

A=8,364\ ft^2

so

8,364=LW ----> equation A

The screen is 20 feet longer than it is wide.

so

L=W+20 ---> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

8,364=(W+20)W

solve for W

8,364=W^2+20W\\W^2+20W-8,364=0

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

the solution is W=82 ft

see the attached figure

Find the value of L

L=82+20=102\ ft

therefore

The dimensions of the screen are

Length:102 feet

Width: 82 feet

Answer:

<u>C. 1 to 7.99</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that for calculating the range of a data set, we have to find out the lowest and the highest values of the data set.

As we can see in the graph below, the lowest value in the histogram is 1 and the highest is 7.99, therefore the correct answer is:

<u>C. 1 to 7.99</u>

A signal light is green for 4 minutes, yellow for 10 seconds, and red for 3 minutes. If you drive up to this light, what is the
posledela

Answer:

0.56 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for which signal shows green light = 4 minutes

Time for which signal shows yellow light = 10 seconds

Time for which signal shows red light = 3 minutes

To find:

Probability that the signal will show green light when you reach the destination = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us convert each time to same unit before doing any calculations.

Time for which signal shows green light = 4 minutes = 4 \times 60 seconds = 240 seconds

Time for which signal shows yellow light = 10 seconds

Time for which signal shows red light = 3 minutes = 3 \times 60 seconds = 180 seconds

Now, let us have a look at the formula for probability of an event E:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

Here, E is the event that green light is shown by the signal.

Number of favorable cases mean the time for which green light is shown and Total number of cases is the total time <em>(Time for which green light is shown + Time for which Yellow light is shown + Time for which red light is shown)</em>

So, the required probability is:

P(E) = \dfrac{240}{240+10+180}\\\Rightarrow P(E) = \dfrac{240}{430}\\\Rightarrow \bold{P(E) \approx 0.56 }
