Answer:

length = 6 cm; width = 5.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = x. Let the width = y.

We use the formulas for area and perimeter using x and y, and the given values.

area = length * width

perimeter = 2(length + width)

xy = 33

2(x + y) = 23

Solve the first equation for x:

x = 33/y

Substitute 33/y for x in the second equation.

2(33/y + y) = 23

66/y + 2y = 23

Mulrtiply both sides by y.

66 + 2y^2 = 23y

2y^2 - 23y + 66 = 0

(2y - 11)(y - 6) = 0

2y - 11 = 0 or y - 6 = 0

y = 11/2 = 5.5 or y = 6

xy = 33

x * 11/2 = 33

x = 33 * 2/11

x = 6

Answer: length = 6 cm; width = 5.5 cm

A particular state has elected both a governor and a senator. Let A be the event that a randomly selected voter has a favorable

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A be the event that a randomly selected voter has a favorable view of a certain party’s senatorial candidate, and let B be the corresponding event for that party’s gubernatorial candidate.

Suppose that

P(A′) = .44, P(B′) = .57, and P(A ⋃ B) = .68

From the above we can find out

P(A) = $1-0.44 = 0.56$

P(B) = $1-0.57 = 0.43$

P(AUB) = 0.68 =

$0.56+0.43-P(A\bigcap B)\\P(A\bigcap B)=0.30$

a) the probability that a randomly selected voter has a favorable view of both candidates=P(AB) = 0.30

b) the probability that a randomly selected voter has a favorable view of exactly one of these candidates

= P(A)-P(AB)+P(B)-P(AB)

$=0.99-0.30-0.30\\=0.39$

c) the probability that a randomly selected voter has an unfavorable view of at least one of these candidates

=P(A'UB') = P(AB)'

= $1-0.30\\=0.70$

Tiles with the letters A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H written on them are placed in a bag. Malik draws out on letter at random. Which state

dusya [7]

Using the probability concept, it is found that the correct statements are given as follows:

The number of possible outcomes is 8.

P(vowel)=1/4

P(vowel) + P(consonant) = 1.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem, there are eight letters, two of which are vowels and six of which are consonants.

Hence:

P(vowel) = 2/8 = 1/4.

P(consonant) = 6/8 = 3/4.

P(vowel) + P(consonant) = 1/4 + 3/4 = 1.

E is one out eight letters, hence the probability is drawing the tile with E written on it is 1/8.

This my test question I'm 100 bad at math 2b2+16b+49÷2b+4

krek1111 [17]

2b^2 + 81/2 b + 4

basically 2b^2 + 16b + 49/2 b + 4
= (2b^2) + 16b+49/2b) + (4)
= 2b^2 + 81/2 b + 4
