Answer:

Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = LW     formula for area of rectangle

(2x + 1)(2x) = 20      substitute length, width, and area into formula

4x² + 2x - 20 = 0      use the distributive property to multiply out left side

2x² + x - 10 = 0         divide both sides of equation by 2

(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0        factor out trinomial

2x + 5 = 0  or  x - 2 = 0        use zero product rule to solve for x

2x = -5  or x = 2       subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides

x = -5/2  or  x = 2

We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.

Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5

Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4

Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.

A university claims that the average cost of books per student, per semester is $300. A group of students believes that the actu
LenKa [72]

Answer:

t=\frac{345-300}{\frac{200}{\sqrt{100}}}=2.25    

p_v =P(t_{(99)}>2.25)=0.0133  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the mean is higher than 300 at 1% of significance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=345 represent the sample mean

s=200 represent the sample standard deviation

n=100 sample size  

\mu_o =300 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 300, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 300  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 300  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{345-300}{\frac{200}{\sqrt{100}}}=2.25    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=100-1=99  

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(99)}>2.25)=0.0133  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the mean is higher than 300 at 1% of significance.
