Answer:

18 ft and 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The new dimensions will be:</u>

10 + x and 22 + x

The area is 540

<u>Using area equation we get:</u>

(10 + x)(22 + x) = 540
x² + 32x + 220 = 540
x² + 32x = 320
x² + 2x*16 + 256 = 320 + 256
(x + 16)² = 576
x + 16 = √576 (Ignoring the negative root as the length is never negative)
x + 16 = 24
x = 8

<u>The new dimensions are:</u>

10 + 8 = 18 ft and
22 + 8 = 30 ft

Step 1:

First, find the total number of students.

Let the total number of students = m

Step 2:

Find the total number of students using the percentage of 4 books.

48 students listed 4 books with a percentage of 16%

$\begin{gathered} 48\text{ = 16\% of m} \\ 48\text{ = }\frac{16}{100}\text{ }\times\text{ m} \\ 48\text{ = }\frac{16m}{100} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ 16m\text{ = 48 }\times\text{ 100} \\ 16m\text{ = 4800} \\ \text{m = }\frac{4800}{16} \\ \text{m = 300} \end{gathered}$

Hence, there are 300 students.

a)

$\begin{gathered} \text{Number of students that had 1 book = 24\% of 300} \\ =\text{ }\frac{24}{100}\text{ }\times\text{ 300} \\ =\text{ }\frac{7200}{100} \\ =\text{ 72 students} \end{gathered}$

72 students had 1 book.

b) What percentage more read 2 books than 4 books?

percentage that read 2 books = 36%

percentage that read 4 books = 16%

36 - 16 = 20%

There are 20% students that read 2 books than 4 books.

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 90% confidence interval is given by: (0.6350, 0.6984).

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 90% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.9$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95$ , so the critical value is z = 1.645.

The sample size and the estimate are given by:

$n = 600, \pi = \frac{400}{600} = 0.6667$

Hence, the bounds of the interval are given by:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6667 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.6667(0.3333)}{600}} = 0.6350$

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6667 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.6667(0.3333)}{600}} = 0.6984$

The 90% confidence interval is given by: (0.6350, 0.6984).
