Answer:

Width of rectangular piece = x = 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangular piece = 62 inches

Let width of rectangular piece= x

and length of rectangular piece = x+15

We need to find width i.e value of x

The formula used for perimeter of rectangle is: $Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\$

Putting values in formula and finding Width:

$Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\\\62=2(x+x+15)\\62=2(2x+15)\\62=4x+30\\62-30=4x\\4x=32\\x=\frac{32}{4}\\x=8$

After solving we get value of x = 8

So, Width of rectangular piece = x = 8 inches

To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in

lukranit [14]

Answer: $\dfrac{26}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in appearance.

Proportion of success : $p=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Sample size taken by customs oﬃcial : n= 3

Let x be a binomial variable that represents the tablets in the bottle.

Using Binomial probability formula :-

$P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

The probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics = $P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)$

$1-^3C_0(\dfrac{2}{3})^0(1-\dfrac{2}{3})^3\\\\=1-(1)(1)(\dfrac{1}{3})^3\ [\becuase ^nC_0=1]\\\\=1-\dfrac{1}{27}=\dfrac{26}{27}$

Hence, the probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics = $\dfrac{26}{27}$
