Answer:
The four possible outcomes are:
- skirt 1, white
- skirt 1, black
- skirt 2, white
- skirt 2, black
Step-by-step explanation:
Skirt 1 can be white or black (two outcomes). Skirt 2 can be white or black (two outcomes). Therefore, there are four possible outcomes.
Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.
Let a,b,c,d and e are five numbers
mean = (a +b+ c+ d+e)/5 = 30
⇒ (a +b+ c+ d+e) = 150_______(1)
now, Let the number excluded be a
then, new mean = (b+ c+ d+e)/4 = 28
⇒ (b+ c+ d+e)= 112
putting this value in (1),
⇒a + 112 = 150
⇒a = 150 -112 = 38
excluded number = 38
