Answer:

width of the fence = 5 feet

Length of the fence =10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Ben is planning to fence his rectangular garden. The area of the garden is 50 square feet, and the length of the garden is twice the width.

LEt x be the width of the fence

the length of the fence is twice the width.

Length of the garden = 2 * width = 2x

ARea of the garden = length * width

Plug in 2x for length and x for width

$Area = 2x * x= 2x^2$

Area is 50

$50= 2x^2$

Divide by 2 on both sides

$25= x^2$

Take square root on both sides

x= 5

So width of the fence = 5 feet

Length of the fence = 2x= 2*5= 10 feet

X times 2x=50
2x^2=50
Divide by 2
X^2= 25
X=5

Length is 10 ft

1 substitute p=5, q=7, r = -2

lora16 [44]

1.

a.) 2q + 5r

2(7) + 5(-2)

14 - 10 = 4

b.) 3(p + 6) + q + r Plug in the numbers

3(5 + 6) + 7 - 2 Solve inside the parentheses first

3(11) + 7 - 2

33 + 5 = 38

2.

a.) m(3m + 4n)

2(3(2) + 4(3))

2(6 + 12)

2(18) = 36

b.) n²(m + p²)

(3)²(2 + (-5)²)

9(2 + 25)

9(27) = 243

c.) 3m(8 + n) + n²

3(2) (8 + 3) + 3²

6(11) + 9

66 + 9 = 75

To estimate the mean height μ of male students on your campus,you will measure an SRS of students. You know from government data

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

a) $\sigma = 0.167$

b) We need a sample of at least 282 young men.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

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

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

This Zscore is how many standard deviations the value of the measure X 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

(a) What standard deviation must x have so that 99.7% of allsamples give an x within one-half inch of μ?

To solve this problem, we use the 68-95-99.7 rule. This rule states that:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we want 99.7% of all samples give X within one-half inch of $\mu$ . So $X - \mu = 0.5$ must have $Z = 3$ and $X - \mu = -0.5$ must have $Z = -3$ .

So

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

$3 = \frac{0.5}{\sigma}$

$3\sigma = 0.5$

$\sigma = \frac{0.5}{3}$

$\sigma = 0.167$

(b) How large an SRS do you need to reduce the standard deviationof x to the value you found in part (a)?

You know from government data that heights of young men are approximately Normal with standard deviation about 2.8 inches. This means that $\sigma = 2.8$

The standard deviation of a sample of n young man is given by the following formula

$s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

We want to have $s = 0.167$

$0.167 = \frac{2.8}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.167\sqrt{n} = 2.8$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.8}{0.167}$

$\sqrt{n} = 16.77$

$\sqrt{n}^{2} = 16.77^{2}$

$n = 281.23$

We need a sample of at least 282 young men.
