Troyanec [42]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

L = length

W = width

L = W + 9

A = 112 = LW = (W+9)W

So,

W2 + 9W = 112

W2 + 9W - 112 = 0

Factoring

(W-7)(W+16) = 0

W = 7, -16

We discard W = -16, since a measurement cannot be negative.

W = 7

And since L = W + 9, then L = 7 + 9 = 16

This is a 16x7 rectangle

When Sarah turned 18, she took $500 from her savings and opened a
Montano1993 [528]

The worth of Sarah's investment when she is 68 is $14,728.51.

<h3>What is the worth of the investment?</h3>

The formula that can be used to determine the worth of the investment is:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years = 68 - 18 = 50

$500 x (1.07)^50 = $14,728.51

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 47.2 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

A

The  test statistics is  t  = -1.7

B

The  Null and  Alternative hypothesis are

      H_o  :  \mu = 47.2   and  H_a :  \mu \ne  47.2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population mean is  \mu  =  47.2 miles/gallon(MPG)

    The sample size is  n =  250 \ van

     The  sample mean is  \= x  =  47.0

      The sample  standard deviation is  \sigma  =  1.9

      The level of significance is  \alpha  =  0.02

Given that the value which the manufacturer gave the automobile is  47.2 and  it is believed that this is not correct, then  

The  Null Hypothesis is  

        H_o  :  \mu = 47.2

The alternative Hypothesis  is  

        H_a :  \mu \ne  47.2

The test statistics can be mathematically evaluated as  

        t  =  \frac{\= x- \mu}{\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }

substituting values

        t  =  \frac{\= 47- 47.2}{\frac{1.9 }{\sqrt{250} } }

       t  = -1.7
