Answer:

I'll setup the problem, then you can do the calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2width(W) + 2length (L)

Area = LW

L = 2.5 + 2W

LW = 62.5

substitute L in equation for area

2.5W +  {2W}^{2}  = 62.5 \\  \\  {2W}^{2}  + 2.5 - 62.5 \\  \\  use \:  quadratic \:  solution \\\frac{ - b ±  \sqrt{ {b}^{2}  - 4ac}}{2a}

a = 2; b = 2.5; c = 62.5

Alison is playing a video game. At the end of each level, the player is given either a bag of gold or a magic wand.
Shkiper50 [21]

Outcome Bag of Gold Magic Wand

Relative frequency 0.32 0.68

The relative frequency of getting a bag of gold is .......... reasonably close

.32 is close to 30% so

Alison's claim about the theoretical probability is likely to be 2............true

Further, this means that the theoretical probability of getting a magic wand is most likely 3............1 - 30% = 70%
