Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the perimeters are equal, then equate the perimeter expressions, that is
4(x - 2) = 6( x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
4x - 8 = 3x + 30 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
x - 8 = 30 ( add 8 to both sides )
x = 38
Substitute x = 38 into either of the 2 perimeter expressions
perimeter = 4(x - 2) = 4(38 - 2) = 4 × 36 = 144 in → c

Answer:
5.71% probability that, for a sample of 40 college games to be played next week, the mean number of holding penalties will be 2 penalties per game or less
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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 and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
In this question, we have that:
What is the probability that, for a sample of 40 college games to be played next week, the mean number of holding penalties will be 2 penalties per game or less
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2. So
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a pvalue of 0.0571
5.71% probability that, for a sample of 40 college games to be played next week, the mean number of holding penalties will be 2 penalties per game or less
