The width of a rectangle is 2 less than twice the length, x. If the perimeter is 44, what is the width?

Mathematics

Butoxors [25]3 years ago
3 0

Take the length as 'x'

Width = 2x - 2

Perimeter = 44 [ Formula = 2(l + w) ]

2 (l + w) = 44

2 (x + 2x - 2) = 44

2 (3x - 2) = 44

6x - 4 = 44

6x = 44 + 4

6x = 48

x = 48/6

<u>x </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>8</u> => length

Width = 2x - 2 = 2(8) - 2 = <u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>units.</u>

Hope it helps!

maw [93]

Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must get the total amount of possibilities.

We have ten numbers(0 included) and 4 letters. 10 * 4 = 40, so 40 total possibilities.

Now, let's see how many possibilities we can have for this.

Consonants in the 4 letters are B, C, D. This means we have 3 possibilities, but we ACTUALLy have 6 since it could b then 3, or 3 then b for all the letters.

So, we end up having 6/40 which simplifies in to 3/20

Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Political parties are organized groups of people with similar ideas or ideology about the function and scope of government, with shared policy goals that work together to elect individuals to political office, to create and implement policies, to further an agenda, and to gain control of the government and the policy-making process. Parties gain control over the government by winning elections with candidates they officially sponsor or nominate for positions in government. Political parties nominate candidates to run many levels of government including the national level, Congress, and the presidency; but, they nominate for state and local levels as well. They also coordinate political campaigns and mobilize voters.

Political parties are points of access/linkage institutions available to the public, though they are not themselves government institutions. Neither interest groups nor political parties are directly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. Where interest groups often work indirectly to influence our leaders, political parties are organizations that try to directly influence public policy through nominating and officially sponsoring members who seek to win and hold public office. This is a key difference. Interest groups do not officially nominate or nominate candidates for public office, although they may support them politically and even contribute dollars to their campaign.

Parties accomplish this by identifying and aligning sets of issues that are important to voters in the hopes of gaining support during elections. In this respect, parties provide choices to the electorate, something they are doing that is in sharp contrast to their opposition. These positions on these critical issues are often presented in campaign documents or political advertising. During a national presidential campaign, they also frequently reflect the party platform, which is adopted at each party’s presidential nominating convention every four years.

If successful, a party can create a large enough electoral coalition to gain control of the government. Once in power, the party is much more likely to be able to deliver, to its voters, the policy preferences they choose by electing its partisans to the government.Political parties organize political campaigns to win public office for those they nominate.

IgorC [24]
<h2><u>Answer with explanation</u>:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean.

As per given , we have

H_0:\mu \leq4\\\\ H_a: \mu >4

Since the alternative hypothesis is right-tailed , so the test is a right-tailed test.

Also, population standard deviation is given \sigma=1 , so we perform one-tailed z-test.

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

, where \mu = Population mean

\sigma = Population standard deviation

n= sample size

\overline{x} = Sample mean

For n= 18 , \overline{x}=4.50 , \sigma=1 , \mu =4, we have

z=\dfrac{4.5-4}{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{18}}}\approx2.12

P-value (for right tailed test): P(z>2.12) = 1-P(z≤ 2.12)  [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z≤z)]\

=1- 0.0340=0.9660

Decision : Since P-value(0.9660) > Significance level (0.01), it means we are failed to reject the null hypothesis.

[We reject null hypothesis if p-value is larger than the significance level . ]

Conclusion : We do not have sufficient evidence to show that the goal is not being met at α = .01 .

slega [8]

0.088

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of balls in the urn is;

8 +  5 = 12

Because the pink balls are 8, then the probability of picking a pink ball from the urn is;

8/12

To get the probability that all 6 balls drawn from the urn are pink, we will use the AND probability rule of the mutually exclusive events which means we’ll multiply the probabilities of each of the six pink balls;

8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12 * 8/12

= 0.088
