<em>Answer: h = 120 ft;    w = 80 ft </em>

<em></em>

<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>

<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation: Let h and w be the dimensions of the playground. The area is given by:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A = h*w   (eq1)</em>

<em></em>

<em>The total amount of fence used is:</em>

<em></em>

<em>L = 2*h + 2*w + w    (eq2)    (an extra distance w beacuse of the division)</em>

<em></em>

<em>Solving for w:</em>

<em></em>

<em>w = L - 2/3*h = 480 - 2/3*h   (eq3)  Replacing this into the area eq:</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>We derive this and equal zero to find its maximum:</em>

<em></em>

<em>   Solving for h:</em>

<em></em>

<em>h = 120 ft.  Replacing this into eq3:</em>

<em></em>

<em>w = 80ft</em>

<em></em>

<em>Therefore the maximum area is:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>

What is f(x)=14−0.5x? <br><br> solve for f(30)
UkoKoshka [18]
The function f(x) is a function of the variable x.

To solve the function for x = 30, just plug in 30 for x.

14 - 0.5(30) = -1

f(30) = -1

If in a sample of 355 adult males, we have a mean total cholesterol level of 185 mg, with s = 16. What is the 95% confidence int
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean total cholesterol level of all males.

Number of sample, n = 355

Mean, u = 185 mg

Standard deviation, s = 16

For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean +/- z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

185 +/- 1.96 × 16/√355

= 185 +/- 1.96 × 0.849

= 185 +/- 1.66404

The lower end of the confidence interval is 185 - 1.66404 =183.336

The upper end of the confidence interval is 185 + 1.66404 = 186.66

Therefore, with 95% confidence interval, the mean total cholesterol level of all males is between 183.336 mg and 186.66 mg
