The perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet. The length of the rectangle is 6 feet. What are the possible meas

urements of the width? Write an inequality to represent this problem. Use w to represent the width of the parallelogram. [Hint: The formula for finding the perimeter of a parallelogram is P = 2 l + 2 w . What is the smallest possible measurement of the width? Justify your answer by showing all your work.

Answer: 14\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of rectangle is 6\ ft

Perimeter must be greater than 40 ft

Suppose l and w be the length and width of the rectangle

\Rightarrow \text{Perimeter P=}2(l+w)\\\Rightarrow P\geq 40\\\Rightarrow 2(l+w)\geq40\\\Rightarrow l+w\geq20\\\Rightarrow w\geq20-6\\\Rightarrow w\geq14\ ft

So, the smallest width can be 14\ ft

If a plank which is 10 feet long is cut into
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

If a plank which is 10 feet long is cut into two pieces and if one piece is x feet long,

Then the other piece will be (10 – x) feet long.

Here the value of the one piece is given as ‘x’ value

so the represent of the length of the other part will be (10 – x ) feet

The monthly worldwide average number of airplane crashes of commercial airlines is 3.5. What is the probabil- ity that there wil
Levart [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for poisson distribution which is expressed as

P(x = r) = (e^- µ × µ^r)/r!

Where

µ represents the mean of the theoretical distribution.

r represents the number of successes of the event.

From the information given,

µ = 3.5

a)

For the probability that there will be at least 2 such accidents in the next month, it is expressed as

P(x ≥ 2) = 1 - P(x < 2)

P(x < 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1)

Therefore,

P(x = 0) = (e^- 3.5 × 3.5^0)/0!

P(x = 0) = (e^- 3.5 × 1)/1

P(x = 0) = 0.03

P(x = 1) = (e^- 3.5 × 3.5^1)/1!

P(x = 1) = (e^- 3.5 × 3.5)/1

P(x = 1) = 0.11

P(x < 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) = 0.03 + 0.11 = 0.14

P(x ≥ 2) = 1 - 0.14 = 0.86

b)

For the probability that there will be at most 1 accident in the next month, it is expressed as

P(x ≤ 1) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1)

P(x = 0) = 0.03

P(x = 1) = 0.11

P(x ≤ 1) = 0.03 + 0.11 = 0.14
