Answer:

$VW = 33$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See attachment for complete question</em>

Given

$VY = 4x - 1$

$VW = 5x + 3$

$Perimeter = 112$

Required

Determine the length of VW

Perimeter is calculated as:

$Perimeter = 2 * (Width + Length)$

This gives:

$Perimeter = 2 * (VW + VY)$

Substitute values for VW, VY and Perimeter

$112 = 2 * (4x - 1 + 5x + 3)$

Collect Like Terms

$112 = 2 * (4x + 5x -1 +3)$

$112 = 2 * (9x +2)$

Divide through by 2

$56 = 9x + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$9x = 56 - 2$

$9x = 54$

$x = 54/9$

$x = 6$

Substitute 6 for x in $VW = 5x + 3$

$VW = 5 * 6 + 3$

$VW = 30 + 3$

$VW = 33$

The general form of an parabola is 2x2−12x−3y+12=0 .

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The standard form of the parabola is $(x-3)^2=4*\frac{3}{8}(y+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a parabola is

$(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)$ .

In order to convert $2x^2-12x-3y+12=0$ into the standard form, we first separate the variables:

$2x^2-12x+3y+12=0\\\\2x^2-12x+12=3y$

we now divided both sides by 2 to remove the coefficient from $2x^2$ and get:

$x^2-6x+6=\frac{3}{2}y$ .

We complete the square on the left side by adding 3 to both sides:

$x^2-6x+6+3=\frac{3}{2}y+3$

$x^2-6x+9=\frac{3}{2}y+3$

$(x-3)^2=\frac{3}{2}y+3$

now we bring the right side into the form $4p(y-k)$ by first multiplying the equation by $\frac{2}{3}$ :

$\frac{2}{3} *(x-3)^2=\frac{2}{3} *(\frac{3}{2}y+3)\\\\\frac{2}{3} *(x-3)^2=y+2$

and then we multiplying both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$ to get

$(x-3)^2=\frac{3}{2} (y+2)$ .

Here we see that

$4p=\frac{3}{2}$

$\therefore p=\frac{3}{8}$

Thus, finally we have the equation of the parabola in the standard form:

$\boxed{(x-3)^2=4*\frac{3}{8}(y+2)}$

In the library on a university campus, there is a sign in the elevator that indicates a limit of 16 persons. In addition, there

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

15.87% probability that a random sample of 16 people will exceed the weight limit

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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:

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

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For sums, the theorem can be applied, with mean $n*\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{n}*\sigma$

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 16, \mu = 16*150 = 2400, s = \sqrt{16}*27 = 108$

If a random sample of 16 persons from the campus is to be taken, what is the chance that a random sample of 16 people will exceed the weight limit

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2508. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{2508 - 2400}{108}$

$Z = 1$

$Z = 1$ has a pvalue of 0.8413

1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

15.87% probability that a random sample of 16 people will exceed the weight limit
