Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call L the length and W the width. The length is 10 feet longer than the width, so:
L = W + 10
The area is the length times width, so:
119 = LW
Substituting:
119 = (W + 10) W
119 = W² + 10W
0 = W² + 10W − 119
0 = (W + 17) (W − 7)
W = -17 or 7
Since W must be positive, W = 7.
L = W + 10
L = 17
The length and width are 17 feet and 7 feet, respectively.
answer TRUE because they would make a triangle
Answer:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
x = 11 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of hours = x
Total cost = y
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost
The equations are:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
solve the equation to find for how many hours the total cost of the services is equal.
Equate total cost of both services
20 + 4x = 9 + 5x
Collect like terms
20 - 9 = 5x - 4x
11 = x
x = 11 hours
Check:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
= 20 + 4(11)
= 20 + 44
= 64
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
= 9 + 5(11)
= 9 + 55
= 64
Answer:
D - It is impossible to make a judgment with the given information.
Step-by-step explanation:
The fact that 1200 births were randomly selected and only 599 of such picks are girls does not give enough information on whether the birth is significantly high, low or neither. We must have other information to test for significance of the births proportion.
All we know is that;
Proportion of girls birth (p) = 599/1200 = 0.499. And by default, the proportion of male births (q) will be 1-p = 1-0.499 = 0.501.
If we examine the proportion closely, there seems to be no significant difference in the birth proportion.
Having said this, we cannot really imply that, the number of girls is significantly high. Or the number of girls is neither significantly low nor significantly high. Or the number of girls is significantly low.
The best subjective submission will be that, <em>there is no significant difference between girls birth and males birth.</em> The question of high or low (an alternative hypothesis) requires some further statistical test and this question does not provide further details.
