Answer:

Length = 4 feet

Width = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle formula = 2L + 2W

Where L = Length

W = Width

The length of a rectangle is 8feet less than the width.

Hence,

L = 8 - W

The perimeter is 64 feet.

Hence,

64 = 2(8 - W) × 2W

64 =( 16 - 2W )2W

64 = -4W² + 32W

4W² - 32W + 64 = 0

Factorise

4W² - 16W - 16W + 64 = 0

4W (W - 4) - 16(W - 4) = 0

W - 4 = 0

W = 4

Width = 4

Solving for L

L = 8 - W

L = 8 - 4

L = 4

Therefore,

Length = 4 feet

Width = 4 feet

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The probability that a call last between 4.2 and 4.9 minutes is 0.4599

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the length in minutes of a random phone call. X is a normal distribution with mean λ=4.2 and standard deviation σ=0.4. We want to know P(4.2 < X < 4.9). In order to make computations, we will use W, the standarization of X, given by the following formula

W = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{X-4.2}{0.4}

We will use \phi , the cummulative distribution function of W. The values of \phi are well known and the can be found in the attached file

P(4.2 < X < 4.9) = P(\frac{4.2-4.2}{0.4} < \frac{X-4.2}{0.4} < \frac{4.9-4.2}{0.4}) = P(0 < W < 1.75) = \\ \phi(1.75) - \phi(0) = 0.9599-0.5 = 0.4599

We conclude that the probability that a call last between 4.2 and 4.9 minutes is 0.4599

pashok25 [27]
Giving the table below which shows <span>the percent increase of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization for the period of 1984 to 2003.
</span>
Year:        1984     1989     1993     1997     2001     2003

Percent:    7.8       16.3       26.2      38.9     49.2      62.1

The scatter plot of the data is attached with the x-axis representing the number of years after 1980 and the y-axis representing the percent increase <span>of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization.

To find the equation for the line of regression where </span><span>the x-axis representing the number of years after 1980 and the y-axis representing the percent increase of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization.
\begin{center}&#10;\begin{tabular}{ c| c| c| c| }&#10; x & y & x^2 & xy \\ [1ex] &#10; 4 & 7.8 & 16 & 31.2 \\  &#10; 9 & 16.3 & 81 & 146.7 \\ &#10;13 & 26.2 & 169 & 340.6 \\ &#10;17 & 38.9 & 289 & 661.3 \\ &#10;21 & 49.2 & 441 & 1,033.2 \\ &#10;23 & 62.1 & 529 & 1,428.3 \\ [1ex]&#10;\Sigma x=87 & \Sigma y=200.5 & \Sigma x^2=1,525 & \Sigma xy=3,641.3  &#10;\end{tabular}&#10;\end{center}
</span>
Recall that the equation of the regression line is given by
y=a+bx
where
a= \frac{(\Sigma y)(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma xy)}{n(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)^2} = \frac{200.5(1,525)-87(3,641.3)}{6(1,525)-(87)^2}  \\  \\ = \frac{305,762.5-316793.1}{9,150-7,569} = \frac{-11,030.6}{1,581} =-6.977
and
b= \frac{n(\Sigma xy)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma y)}{n(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)^2} = \frac{6(3,641.3)-(87)(200.5)}{6(1,525)-(87)^2}  \\  \\ = \frac{21,847.8-17,443.5}{9,150-7,569} = \frac{4,404.3}{1,581} =2.7858

Thus, the equation of the regresson line is given by
y=-6.977+2.7858x

The graph of the regression line is attached.

Using the equation, we can predict the percent donated in the year 2015. Recall that 2015 is 35 years after 1980. Thus x = 35.

The percent donated in the year 2015 is given by
-6.977+2.7858(35)=-6.977+97.503=90.526

Therefore, the percent donated in the year 2015 is predicted to be 90.5

Two boys are running track. They decide to start in the northwest corner and go opposite directions around the rectangular track
Mariulka [41]

= <u>187.3 yards</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The set-up will represent a triangle whereby the :

  • Width = Height = 150 yards
  • Diagonal = Hypotenuse = 240 yards
  • Length = Base = ?

{a}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}  -  {b}^{2}  \\ {a}^{2} =  {240}^{2}  -  {150}^{2}  \\ {a}^{2} = 57600 - 22500 \\  \sqrt{ {a}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{35100}  \\ a = 187.3yards \: (rounded \: off \: to \: 1dp)
