Answer:

Width = 7units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle

A = h * w

A - area of a rectangle

h - height of a rectangle

w - width of a rectangle

Or

A = length * breadth

It's all the same

Given :

h = 1 + w

w = w

A = 56

56 = ( 1 + w) * w

56 = ( 1 + w)w

56 = w + w^2

56 = w^2 + w

w^2 + w - 56 = 0

Find a factor that can be multiplied to give -56

and added to give + 1

The factor is 8 and -7

Substitute 8w - 7w for w

w^2 + 8w - 7w - 56 = 0

( w^2 + 8w) - (7w - 56) = 0

w( w + 8) - 7( w + 8) = 0

( w - 7) = 0

( w + 8) =0

w - 7 = 0

w = 7

w + 8 = 0

w = -8

Since a side of any rectangle can not be negative

w = 7

The width of the rectangle is 7units

The length of the rectangle is 1 + w = 1 + 7 = 8units

The Alvin Secretarial Service procures temporary office personnel for major corporations. They have found that 60% of their invo
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

0.9942 = 99.42% probability that at least 6 of the invoices will be paid within ten working days

Step-by-step explanation:

For each invoice, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are paid within 10 working days, or they are not. The probability of an invoice being paid within 10 working days is independent of other invoices. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

60% of their invoices are paid within ten working days.

This means that p = 0.6

A random sample of 18 invoices is checked.

This means that n = 18

What is the probability that at least 6 of the invoices will be paid within ten working days?

Either less than 6 are paid within 10 working days, or at least 6 are paid. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

P(X < 6) + P(X \geq 6) = 1

We want P(X \geq 6). So

P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)

In which

P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

Then

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

P(X = 0) = C_{18,0}.(0.6)^{0}.(0.4)^{18} \approx 0

P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.6)^{1}.(0.4)^{17} \approx 0

P(X = 2) = C_{18,2}.(0.6)^{2}.(0.4)^{16} \approx 0

P(X = 3) = C_{18,3}.(0.6)^{3}.(0.4)^{15} = 0.0002

P(X = 4) = C_{18,4}.(0.6)^{4}.(0.4)^{14} = 0.0011

P(X = 5) = C_{18,5}.(0.6)^{5}.(0.4)^{13} = 0.0045

P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.0002 + 0.0011 + 0.0045 = 0.0058

Finally

P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.0058 = 0.9942

0.9942 = 99.42% probability that at least 6 of the invoices will be paid within ten working days

Determine the number of diagonal of a dodecagon?
Katen [24]
Use this pattern to predict the number of diagonals in a dodecagon (12-sided polygon). First create a triangle. Since you are looking for diagonals you must go from vertex to vertex, but they cannot be adjacent to each other. Therefore a triangle has no diagonals.
