Answer:

The length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width.

The length can be represented by 2w + 2

Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in the area and the expressions for the length and width:

A = lw

24 = (2w + 2)(w)

Simplify and solve for w:

24 = 2w² + 2w

2w² + 2w - 24

Divide everything by 2:

w² + w - 12

Factor:

(w + 4)(w - 3)

Set equal to 0 and solve for each factor:

w + 4 = 0

w = -4

w - 3 = 0

w = 3

Since the width cannot be negative, the width has to be 3.

Next, find the length by plugging in 3 as w:

2w + 2

2(3) + 2

= 8

So, the length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches

Scores of an IQ test have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 13. Use the empirical rule
Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a) 68% of people has an IQ score between 87 and 113​.

(b) 5% of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126.

(c) 0.15% of people has an IQ score greater than 139​.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:Scores of an IQ test have a​ bell-shaped distribution,

mean = 100

standard deviation = 13

According to the empirical rule

68% data lies between \overline{x}-\sigma and \overline{x}+\sigma.

95% data lies between \overline{x}-2\sigma and \overline{x}+2\sigma.

99.7% data lies between \overline{x}-3\sigma and \overline{x}+3\sigma.

(a)

\overline{x}-\sigma=100-13=87

\overline{x}+\sigma=100+13=113

[\overline{x}-\sigma,\overline{x}+\sigma]=[87,113]

Using empirical rule we can say that 68% of people has an IQ score between 87 and 113​.

(b)

\overline{x}-2\sigma=100-2(13)=74

\overline{x}+2\sigma=100+2(13)=126

[\overline{x}-2\sigma,\overline{x}+2\sigma]=[74,126]

Using empirical rule we can say that 95% of people has an IQ score between 74 and 126​.

The percentage of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126 is

P = 1- percent of people has an IQ score between 74 and 126​.

P = 1- 95%

P = 5%

Therefore 5% of people has an IQ score less than 74 or greater than 126.

(c)

\overline{x}-3\sigma=100-3(13)=61

\overline{x}+3\sigma=100+3(13)=139

[\overline{x}-3\sigma,\overline{x}+3\sigma]=[61,139]

Using empirical rule we can say that 99.7% of people has an IQ score between 61 and 139​.

The percentage of people has an IQ score less than 61 or greater than 139 is

P = 1- percent of people has an IQ score between 61 and 139​.

P = 1- 99.7%

P = 0.3%

The percentage of people has an IQ score greater than 139​ is

P=\frac{1}{2}(0.3\%)=0.15\%

Therefore 0.15% of people has an IQ score greater than 139​.

Simplify: -10 - 90x + 6x - 60
antoniya [11.8K]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

- 84x - 70

<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>

We want to combine like terms:

-10 - 90x + 6x - 60

We can see (-10) and (-60) are both regular constants so:

- 10 - 60 = - 70

Then (-90x) and (+ 6x):

6x - 90x = - 84x

- 84x - 70
