Let X be the answers all 48 questions on a multiple-choice test by guessing. 

<span>p = 1/4 </span>

<span>q = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 </span>

<span>n = 48 </span>

<span>μx = n*p = 48*(1/4) = 12 </span>

<span>σx = sqrt(n*p*q) = sqrt(4/*(1/4)*(3/4)) = 0.8660254038 </span>

<span>P(X = 15) = P(X ≤ 16) - P(X ≤ 14) = P((X - 12)/0.8660254038 ≤ (16 - 12)/0.8660254038) - P((X - 12)/0.8660254038 ≤ (14 - 12)/0.8660254038) = P(Z ≤ 4.62) - P(Z ≤ 2.31) = 1 - 0.9896 = 0.0104 </span>

<span>You could use the binomial distribution: </span>

<span>P(X = 15) = 0.07670882173 </span>

<span>(48) </span>
<span>(15)*((1/4)^15)*(3/4)^33 = 0.07670882173</span>

The length of a rectangle is twice the width. The area is 162 yd? Find the length and the width.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

length = 2x = 2(9) = 18 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = x

Let length = 2x

Area = 162 yd2

 

length × width = Area

 

2x(x) = 162

2x2 = 162

 

Divide by 2 on both sides of equation.

 

x2 = 81

 

Square-root both sides of equation to undo the exponent.

 

x = √(81)

x = 9

 

Substitute this x value into the initial variables.

 

width = x = 9 yds

length = 2x = 2(9) = 18 yds

vivado [14]

Answer: Square
