The Fergusons want to install a new tile floor in their kitchen. The kitchen is in the shape of a rectangle and is 9 feet by 12

feet. They have chosen large square tiles that are 2 feet by 2 feet. how many tiles will they need to buy to cover their kitchen floor?

Answer:

<h3>27 tiles</h3>

To find the total area of the kitchen.

<h3>We know,</h3>

area formula, A = lw

A = lw

A = (9)(12)

A = 108

So, the area of the kitchen is 108 sqft

<h3>Now</h3>

To find the area of the square tiles

A = lw

A = (2)(2)

A = 4

So, the area of one square tile is 4 sqft

<h3>Atlast</h3>

Find how many tiles they will need to buy by dividing the total area by the area of one tile:

108/4

= 27

So, Tiles Needed= 27

Answer:

27 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total area of the kitchen.

Use the area formula, A = lw

A = lw

A = (9)(12)

A = 108

So, the area of the kitchen is 108 sq ft

Find the area of the square tiles, using the same formula:

A = lw

A = (2)(2)

A = 4

So, the area of one square tile is 4 sq ft

Find how many tiles they will need to buy by dividing the total area by the area of one tile:

108/4

= 27

So, they will need to buy 27 tiles

Let X1 and X2 be independent random variables with mean μand variance σ².

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

a) $E(\hat \theta_1) =\frac{1}{2} [E(X_1) +E(X_2)]= \frac{1}{2} [\mu + \mu] = \mu$

So then we conclude that $\hat \theta_1$ is an unbiased estimator of $\mu$

$E(\hat \theta_2) =\frac{1}{4} [E(X_1) +3E(X_2)]= \frac{1}{4} [\mu + 3\mu] = \mu$

So then we conclude that $\hat \theta_2$ is an unbiased estimator of $\mu$

b) $Var(\hat \theta_1) =\frac{1}{4} [\sigma^2 + \sigma^2 ] =\frac{\sigma^2}{2}$

$Var(\hat \theta_2) =\frac{1}{16} [\sigma^2 + 9\sigma^2 ] =\frac{5\sigma^2}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that we have two random variables:

$X_1 , X_2$ both with mean $\mu = \mu$ and variance $\sigma^2$

And we define the following estimators:

$\hat \theta_1 = \frac{X_1 + X_2}{2}$

$\hat \theta_2 = \frac{X_1 + 3X_2}{4}$

Part a

In order to see if both estimators are unbiased we need to proof if the expected value of the estimators are equal to the real value of the parameter:

$E(\hat \theta_i) = \mu , i = 1,2$

So let's find the expected values for each estimator:

$E(\hat \theta_1) = E(\frac{X_1 +X_2}{2})$

Using properties of expected value we have this:

$E(\hat \theta_1) =\frac{1}{2} [E(X_1) +E(X_2)]= \frac{1}{2} [\mu + \mu] = \mu$

So then we conclude that $\hat \theta_1$ is an unbiased estimator of $\mu$

For the second estimator we have:

$E(\hat \theta_2) = E(\frac{X_1 + 3X_2}{4})$

Using properties of expected value we have this:

$E(\hat \theta_2) =\frac{1}{4} [E(X_1) +3E(X_2)]= \frac{1}{4} [\mu + 3\mu] = \mu$

So then we conclude that $\hat \theta_2$ is an unbiased estimator of $\mu$

Part b

For the variance we need to remember this property: If a is a constant and X a random variable then:

$Var(aX) = a^2 Var(X)$

For the first estimator we have:

$Var(\hat \theta_1) = Var(\frac{X_1 +X_2}{2})$

$Var(\hat \theta_1) =\frac{1}{4} Var(X_1 +X_2)=\frac{1}{4} [Var(X_1) + Var(X_2) + 2 Cov (X_1 , X_2)]$

Since both random variables are independent we know that $Cov(X_1, X_2 ) = 0$ so then we have:

$Var(\hat \theta_1) =\frac{1}{4} [\sigma^2 + \sigma^2 ] =\frac{\sigma^2}{2}$

For the second estimator we have:

$Var(\hat \theta_2) = Var(\frac{X_1 +3X_2}{4})$

$Var(\hat \theta_2) =\frac{1}{16} Var(X_1 +3X_2)=\frac{1}{4} [Var(X_1) + Var(3X_2) + 2 Cov (X_1 , 3X_2)]$

Since both random variables are independent we know that $Cov(X_1, X_2 ) = 0$ so then we have:

$Var(\hat \theta_2) =\frac{1}{16} [\sigma^2 + 9\sigma^2 ] =\frac{5\sigma^2}{8}$

A wire is to be attached to support a telephone pole. Because of surrounding buildings, sidewalks, and roadways, the wire must

ad-work [718]

This situation is a right triangle with the base measuring 18 and the hypotenuse 22. We are looking for x, the height up the pole that the wire is going to be attached to. We will use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the missing length. $22^2-18^2=x^2$ and $484-324=x^2$ . x^2 = 160 so x = $4 \sqrt{10}$ or 12.65 feet
