rectangle

Brums [2.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

Length = 5

Width = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

(x)(x + 16) = 105

x^2 + 16x = 105

x^2 + 16x - 105 = 0

(x - 5) x ( x + 21) = 0

x - 10 = 0

x = 5

x + 21 = 0

x = -21

Now that we have the zeroes.

We have to find the most viable one to put in.

Using -21 would not make sense, so we will use 5.

Plug it in:

x = 5

(5) (5 + 16) = 105

5 ( 21) = 105

Ishaan is 3 times as old as Christopher and is also 14 years older than Christopher/10088809/d7a108ae?utm_source=registration
Irina-Kira [14]
X = Ishaan
y = Christopher

3y = x
x = y + 14 Put the first equation into the second.
3y = y + 14
2y = 14
y = 7

Christopher is 7
Ishaan is 21

Classify the following data. Indicate whether the data is qualitative or quantitative, indicate whether the data is discrete, co
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Quantitative

Discrete

Ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of days traveled by randomly selected employees is a quantitative variable because it can be presented meaningful numerical form and further the number of days traveled by randomly selected employees are discrete because the number of days can be counted. Now, the level of measurement for the variable "number of days traveled by employees" is  ratio scale because it has a meaningful zero. Meaningful zero in this case will means that none of the day is spent on travelling.

According to a​ survey, 60 ​% of the residents of a city oppose a downtown casino. Of these 60 ​% about 8 out of 10 strongly opp
katrin [286]

Answer:

(a) 0.48

(b) 0.20

(c) it is not unusual for a radomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the​ casino.

Step-by-step explanation:

​(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the casino. ​

The probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the cassino is the product of the two probabilities, that a resident opposes the casino and that it strongly opposes the casino (once it is in the first group) as it is shown below.

Use this notation:

  • Probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino: P(A)

  • Probability that a resident who opposes the casino strongly opposes it: P(B/A), because it is the probability of event B given the event A

i) Determine the <em>probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino</em>, P(A)

Probability = number of favorable outcomes / number of possible outcomes

  • P(A) is <em>given as 60%</em>, which in decimal form is 0.60

ii) Next, determine,the <em>probability that a resident who opposes the casino strongly opposes it</em>, P(B/A):

  • It is given as 8 out of 10 ⇒ P(B/A) = 8/10

iii) You want the probability of both events, which is the joint probability or  intersection: P(A∩B).

So, you can use the definition of conditional probability:

  • P(B/A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)

iv) From which you can solve for P(A∩B)

  • P(A∩B) = P(B/A)×P(A) =  (8/10)×(0.60) = 0.48

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident who opposes the casino does not strongly oppose the casino.

In this case, you just want the complement of the probability that <em>a radomly selected resident who opposes the casino does strongly oppose the casino</em>, which is 1 - P(B/A) = 1 - 8/10 = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2.

​(c) Would it be unusual for a randomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the​ casino?

You are being asked about the joint probability (PA∩B), which you found in the part (a) and it is 0.48.

That is almost 0.50 or half of the population, so you conclude it is not unusual for a radomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the​ casino.
