Answer:

$149.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = 2x - 5

Perimeter of the room = 5x

Perimeter of the room = 2(length + width)

5x = 2{(2x-5) + x}

5x = 2(2x - 5 + x)

5x = 4x - 10 + 2x

5x = 6x - 10

5x - 6x = -10

-x = -10

x = 10

Width = x = 10

Length = 2x - 5

= 2*10 - 5

= 20 - 5

= 15

Perimeter of the room = 5x

= 5 × 10

= 50 square foot

If carpet costs $2.99 a square foot, what the total cost to carpet the living room

Total cost = $2.99 × 50

= $149.50

fredd [130]

Answer:

0.0322; 0.9929

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the data is normally distributed, we use z scores for these probabilities.

The formula for a z score of a sample mean is

z=\frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\sigma \div \sqrt{n}}

For the sample of mildly obese people, the mean, μ, is 371; the standard deviation, σ, is 65; and the sample size, n, is 6.

Using 420 for X,

z = (420-371)/(65÷√6) = 49/(65÷2.4495) = 49/26.5360 ≈ 1.85

Using a z table, we see that the area under the curve to the left of this is 0.9678.  However, we want the area to the right, so we subtract from 1:

1-0.9678 = 0.0322

For the sample of lean people, the mean, μ, is 528; the standard deviation, σ, is 108; the sample size, n, is 6.

Using 420 for X, we have

z = (420-528)/(108÷√6) = -108/(108÷2.4495) = -108/44.0906 ≈ -2.45

Using a z table, we see that the area under the curve to the left of this is 0.0071.  We want the area under the curve to the right, so we subtract from 1:

1-0.0071 = 0.9929
