Answer:

Dimensions that minimize is; 20 ft x 100 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width and length be x and y respectively.

We are given area as 2000 Sq.ft.

Thus;

xy = 2000 - - - (eq 1)

We are told that the brick wall costs $20 per linear foot and the chain link costs $4 per linear foot. Thus;

C(x) = 20x + 4y

From eq(1),y = 2000/x

Thus;

C(x) = 20x + 4(2000/x)

C(x) = 20x + 8000/x

To minimize this, we will differentiate and equate to 0.

Thus;

C'(x) = 20 - 8000/x²

Equating to zeeo;

20 - 8000/x² = 0

20 = 8000/x²

20x² = 8000

Divide both sides by 20;

x² = 8000/20

x² = 400

x = √400

x = 20 ft

Putting 20 for x in eq 1,we have;

20y = 2000

y = 2000/20

y = 100 ft

mash [69]

Answer:

Error Bound = 0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we want to estimate parameter from a subset (or sample) of the population, we need to considerate that your estimation won't be a 100% precise, in other words, the process will have a random component that prevents us from always making the exact decision.

With that in mind, the objective of a confidence interval is to give us a better insight of where we expect to find the "true" value of the parameter with a certain degree of certainty.

The estivamative of the true difference between proportions was -0.19 and the confidence interval was [-0.23 ; -0.15].

The question also defines the error bound, as the right endpoint of the confidence interval minus the sample mean difference, so it's pretty straight foward:

Error Bound = -0.15 -(-0.19) = -0.15 + 0.19 = 0.04

The interpretation of this would be that we expect that the estimative for the difference of proportions would deviate from the "true" difference about \pm 0.04 or 4%.
