We can set up the width a X and, from the description the length would be 3X-1. The perimeter of a rectangle is determined by 2XL + 2Xw. Plugging into the equation 2(3X-1) + 2(X) = 118. Next distribute to get 6X-2 + 2X = 118. Combine like terms to get 8X = 120. Divide by 8 to get X = 15. The width is 15. The length is 3(15)-1 or 44. 88 +30 = 118

The authors of a paper concluded that more boys than girls listen to music at high volumes. This conclusion was based on data fr
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Since the calculated value of z= 2.82  does not lie in the critical region  the null hypothesis is accepted and it is concluded that the sample data support the authors' conclusion that the proportion of the country's boys who listen to music at high volume is greater than this proportion for the country's girls.

The value of p is 0 .00233. The result is significant at p < 0.10.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the null and alternate hypothesis be

H0:  μboys − μgirls > 0

against the claim

Ha: μboys − μgirls ≤ 0

2) The significance level is set at 0.01

3) The critical region is z  ≤  ± 1.28

4) The test statistic

Z= p1-p2/ sqrt [pcqc( 1/n1+ 1/n2)]

Here p1= 397/768= 0.5169  and p2= 331/745=0.4429

pc = 397+331/768+745

pc= 0.4811

qc= 1-pc= 1-0.4811=0.5188

5) Calculations

Z= p1-p2/ sqrt [pcqc( 1/n1+ 1/n2)]

z= 0.5169-0.4429/√ 0.4811*0.5188( 1/768+  1/745)

z= 2.82

6) Conclusion

Since the calculated value of z= 2.82  does not lie in the critical region  the null hypothesis is accepted and it is concluded that the sample data support the authors' conclusion that the proportion of the country's boys who listen to music at high volume is greater than this proportion for the country's girls.

7)

The value of p is 0 .00233. The result is significant at p < 0.10.

The angles ∠ABC and ∠CBE together should equal 180º. 
∠ABC is 155º. 
180 - 155 = 25 
So, ∠CBE = 25º. 
Hope this helps!
