Karl is building a rectangular garden bed. The length is 6 feet. She has 20 feet of boards to make the sides. Write and solve an

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The width of the garden bed must be less than or equal to 4 feet.

$w\leq4$

Explanation:

Given that;

She has 20 feet of boards to make the sides.

The perimeter of the garden bed must not be more than 20 feet

$\begin{gathered} P=2l+2w\leq20 \\ 2l+2w\leq20 \end{gathered}$

Given;

The length is 6 feet;

$l=6$

To get the inequality for the width w, let us substitute the value of the length into the inequality above and simplify;

$\begin{gathered} 2l+2w\leq20 \\ 2(6)+2w\leq20 \\ 12+2w\leq20 \\ 2w\leq20-12 \\ 2w\leq8 \\ \frac{2w}{2}\leq\frac{8}{2} \\ w\leq4 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the width of the garden bed must be less than or equal to 4 feet.

$w\leq4$

A pyramid with a slant height 4.6 in whose triangular base measures 8 in on each side.Each altitude of the base measures of 6.9

kvasek [131]

Answer:

82.8 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area a triangular based pyramid :

Base area + 1/2(perimeter * slant height)

Base = 8 inches ; Slant height = 4.6 inches ; altitude of base measure = 6.9 inches

Base area of triangle :

1/2 * base * height

1/2 * 8 * 6.9

4 * 6.9

Base area = 27.6 in²

The perimeter, P = sum of sides ; (s1 + s2 + s3

P = 8 + 8 + 8 = 24 in

Hence,

Surface area = 27.6 in² + 1/2(24*4.6)

Surface area = 27.6 in² + (12 * 4.6) in²

Surface area = (27.6 + 55.2)

Surface area = 82.8 in²

Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) Let the random variable X= "number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object." in order to use the binomial probability distribution we need to satisfy some conditions:

1) Independence between the trials (satisfied)

2) A value of n fixed , for this case is 20 (satisfied)

3) Probability of success p =0.2 fixed (Satisfied)

So then we have all the conditions and we can assume that:

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

b) $X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

c) $P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

d) $P(X \geq 15) = P(X=15)+ .....+P(X=20)$

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

$P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{20-16}=0.218$

$P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205$

$P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137$

$P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.058$

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.012$

$P(X\geq 15)=0.804208$

e) $E(X) = np = 20*0.8 = 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

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

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

Part a

Let the random variable X= "number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object." in order to use the binomial probability distribution we need to satisfy some conditions:

1) Independence between the trials (satisfied)

2) A value of n fixed , for this case is 20 (satisfied)

3) Probability of success p =0.2 fixed (Satisfied)

So then we have all the conditions and we can assume that:

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

Part b

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

Part c

For this case we just need to replace into the mass function and we got:

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

Part d

For this case we want this probability: $P(X\geq 15)$

And we can solve this using the complement rule:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X=15)+ .....+P(X=20)$

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

$P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{20-16}=0.218$

$P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205$

$P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137$

$P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.058$

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.012$

$P(X\geq 15)=0.804208$

Part e

The expected value is given by:

$E(X) = np = 20*0.8 = 16$
