Answer:
The dimension of the play area written algebraically is y²/2 + 9y
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the be x and the width be y
If the length is to be 9 feet longer than half the width,
hence y/2 + 9 = x
hence dimension of the area = (y/2 + 9) × y = y²/2 + 9y
The number of defective modems in the inventory is 20%⋅ 30 + 8%⋅ 50 = 10 (out of 80).
Note that the number of defectives in the inventory is fixed, i.e., we are not told that there
is 1
8 probability that a modem in the inventory is defective, but rather that exactly 1
8
of
all modems are defective. The probability that exactly two modems in a random sample
of five are defective is = 0.102
