Length of the rectangle (l) = x + 5

Perimeter of the rectangle = 4x + 14

Formula of perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

Let the width of the rectangle be 'w'. So,

$\rm \longrightarrow 2(l + w) = 4x + 14 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow 2(x + 5 + w) = 4x + 14 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow \dfrac{2(x + 5 + w)}{2} = \dfrac{4x + 14}{2} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow x + 5 + w = 2x + 7 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow x + 5 + w - (x + 5) = 2x + 7 - (x + 5) \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow x - x + 5 - 5 + w = 2x - x + 7 - 5 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow w = x + 2$

$\therefore$ Width of the rectangle (w) = x + 2

The table shows whether members in a fishing group caught fish or did not catch fish and whether they fished from a boat or from

MariettaO [177]

The given scenario falls under the category of conditional probability. There are a total of 56 people in the fishing group described above. The probability that the a person caught a fish and fished from a boat is 24/56. The probability that he fished from a boat is (24+11)/56. For the conditional probability in this item is,
P = (24/56) / ((24+11)/56) = 24/35 = 0.69

Answer:

Around 0.73% of adults in the USA have stage 2 high blood pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 121 and standard deviation of 16.

This means that $\mu = 121, \sigma = 16$
