Answer: 1.48

Step-by-step explanation:

From binomial distribution, the formula to find the standard deviation is given by :-

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}, where n is the sample size and p is the proportion of success.

Given : The percent of chance that a candle is defective. If the company selected 50 candles off the line : 4.6%

i.e. The proportion of success : p=0.046

Sample size : n=50

Then, Standard deviation = \sigma=\sqrt{50(0.046)(1-0.046)}

\sigma=1.48128322748\approx1.48

Hence, the standard deviation of the number of defective candles in the group=1.48

Write a function rule for the area of rectangle whose length is 2ft more than its width. What is the area of the rectangle when
Marianna [84]

According to the problem, the length is 2 feet more than its width, which is expressed as the following function

l=w+2

If the width is x, then the length is x+2.

We can express the following function for the area

A(x)=x(x+2)

Let's replace the width x = 11 ft.

A(11)=11\cdot(11+2)=11(13)=143<h2>Hence, the area is 143 square feet. </h2><h2>The function for the area is</h2>A(x)=x(x+2)

Where x represents the width.

Viefleur [7K]
A pair of lowercase letters represents a recessive gene.

For further clarification, if needed... If the punnett square was for dark hair being dominant over blonde hair, the offspring that was represented by two lowercase letters in a punnett square would have a phenotype of blonde hair.
