A rectangular patio has a length of 12 1/2 feet and an area of 103 1/8 square feet. What is the width of the patio?

Rina8888 [55]

Length of the rectangular patio = 12 1/2 feet
      = 25/2 feet
Area of the rectangular patio = 103 1/8 square feet
   = 825/8 square feet
Let us assume the width of the rectangular patio = x feet
Then
Area of the rectangular patio = Length * Width
825/8 = (25/2) * x
25x/2 = 825/8
25x = (825 * 2)/8 feet
25x = 825/4 feet
x = 825/(4 * 25) feet
   = 33/4 feet
   = 8 1/4 feet
So the width of the rectangular patio is 8 1/4 feet. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

The value of the solid's surface area is equal to the value of the solid's volume. find the value of x. 5*6*x

velikii [3]

<h3>Given</h3>

a cuboid with length, width, height dimensions 5, 6, x

the value of x that makes the numerical value of the total surface area equal to the numerical value of the volume

<h3>Solution</h3>

The volume is given by

... V = L·W·H = 5·6·x = 30x

The area is given by

... A = 2(L·W + H(L+W)) = 2(5·6 +x(5+6)) = 2(30 +11x) = 60 +22x

When these are equal, we have

... 30x = 60 +22x

... 8x = 60

... x = 7.5

The desired value of x is 7.5.

Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trial repeated n times. Use the binomial probability formula to fi

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

P(X = 12) = 0.0064.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$n = 30, p = 0.2$

We want P(X = 12). So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 12) = C_{30,12}.(0.2)^{12}.(0.8)^{18} = 0.0064$

P(X = 12) = 0.0064.

The volume of a 10 ounce box of cheerios is 258.75in3. the length of the box is 4 inches less than the height and the width is 3

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Height of the box = 11.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the box.

Assuming the volume of the Box is $258.75\ in^3$ .

Given:

Length = Height - 4 = h - 4

Width = 3 in

We need to find the height of the box.

Solution:

We know that the volume of the box.

$Volume = Length\times height\times width$

Substitute all given value in above formula.

$258.75 = (h-4)\times h\times 3$

Rewrite the equation as:

$258.75 = 3h(h-4)$

$258.75 = 3h^2-12h$

$3h^2-12h-258.75=0$

whole equation divided by 3.

$h^2-4h-86.25=0$

Use quadratic formula with $a = 1, b = -4,c=-86.25$

$h=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Put these a, b and c value in above equation.

$h=\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-86.25)}}{2(1)}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+345}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{361}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm 19}{2}$

For positive sign

$h=\frac{23}{2}$

h = 11.5 in

For negative sign

$h=\frac{-15}{2}$

h = -7.5

We take positive value of h.

Therefore, the height of the box h = 11.5 in

An opinion poll surveyed 900 people and reported that 36% believe a certain governor broke campaign financing laws in his electi

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The confidence Interval = (0.329, 0.391)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the Confidence Interval for proportion =

p ± z × √p(1 - p)/n

where

p = x/n

From the question

n = 900 people

x = 36% of 900 people

= 36/100 × 900

= 324

z = z score of 95% confidence Interval

z = 1.98

p = x/n

= 324/900

= 0.36

Confidence Interval = p ± z × √p(1 - p)/n

= 0.36 ± 1.96 × √0.36 (1 - 0.36)/900

= 0.36 ± 1.96 ×√0.36 (0.64)/900

= 0.36 ± 1.96 × √0.000256

= 0.36 ± 1.96 × 0.016

= 0.36 ± 0.03136

Confidence Interval = 0.36 ± 0.03136

= 0.36 - 0.03136

= 0.32864

Approximately to 3 decimal places = 0.329

= 0.36 + 0.03136

= 0.39136

Approximately to 3 decimal places = 0.391

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of people who believe the governor broke campaign financing laws = (0.329, 0.391)
