Answer:

Dimensions of the original rectangle:

Length = 19 cm

Width = 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Length = x

Width = y

Original rectangle:

2(Length + width) = 60

2x + 2y = 60

New rectangle has same length with original rectangle but half of the width of the original rectangle when folded

Length = x

Width = 1/2y

2(Length + 1/2width) = 49

2x + y = 49

2x + 2y = 60 (1)

2x + y = 49 (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) to eliminate x

2y - y = 60 - 49

y = 11

Substitute y = 11 into (2)

2x + y = 49

2x + 11 = 49

2x = 49 - 11

2x = 38

x = 38/2

x = 19

Dimensions of the original rectangle:

Length = 19 cm

Width = 11 cm

Marissa and Callie both have babysitting jobs. Marissa charges $19 plus $1.50 per hour. Callie charges $15 plus $2.75 per hour.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation

19 +1.5x < 15+2.75x

Subtarct 15 on both sides

4+1.5x<2.75x

subtract 1.5x on both sides

4< 1.25x

Divide 1.25 on each side

3.2<X

Since they on,y charge per hour so 4 hours

Approximately 5% of calculators coming out of the production lines have a defect. Fifty calculators are randomly selected from t
baherus [9]

Answer:

0.2611 = 26.11% probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each calculator, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a calculator being defective is independent of any other calculator, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

5% of calculators coming out of the production lines have a defect.

This means that p = 0.05

Fifty calculators are randomly selected from the production line and tested for defects.

This means that n = 50

What is the probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective?

This is P(X = 2). So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{50,2}.(0.05)^{2}.(0.95)^{48} = 0.2611

0.2611 = 26.11% probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective.
