Answer:

Width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perimeter of a rectangle of 68 inches, and a length that is 14 inches longer than its width.

We can establish the following values to help us solve for the width of a rectangle:

Perimeter (P) = 68 inches

Length (L) = 14 + W inches

Width (W) = unknown

<h3 /><h3><u>Solve for the Width (W)</u></h3>

P =  2(L + W)  ⇒ This is the same as P = 2L + 2W, except that 2 is factored out from the right-hand side.

Divide both sides by 2:

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=\:\frac{2(L\:+\:W)}{2}}

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=L\:+\:W}

Substitute the value of the Perimeter and the length (L) into the formula:

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{68}{2}\:=14\:+W\:+\:W}

Combine like terms on the right-hand side, and simplify the left-hand side of the equation:

\displaystyle\mathsf{34\:=14\:+2W}

Subtract 14 from both sides:

34 - 14 = 14 - 14 + 2W

20 = 2W

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width (W):

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{20}{2}\:=\:\frac{2W}{2}}

W = 10 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10 inches.

<h3 /><h3><u>Double-check:</u></h3>

Verify whether the derived value for the width is correct:

P = 2L + 2W

68 = 2(14 + 10) + 2(10)

68 = 2(34) + 20

68 = 48 + 20

68 = 68 (True statement).  

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 34 inches, and the width is 10 inches.

kykrilka [37]
Answer: The correct answer is "No, because there is a lot of variability in the language arts book data."

The mean of the language arts book is higher than the mean of the social studies book, however, there is a lot of variability in the language arts book. This means that the language arts book could actually be lower than the social studies book. It is not likely but it could happen.

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

(2, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) "is used to analyze the differences among group means in a sample".  

The sum of squares "is the sum of the square of variation, where variation is defined as the spread between each individual value and the grand mean"  

If we assume that we have 3 groups and on each group from j=1,\dots,n_j we have n_j individuals on each group we can define the following formulas of variation:  

SS_{total}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x)^2  

SS_{between=Treatment}=SS_{model}=\sum_{j=1}^p n_j (\bar x_{j}-\bar x)^2  

SS_{within}=SS_{error}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x_j)^2  

And we have this property  

SST=SS_{between}+SS_{within}  

The degrees of freedom for the numerator on this case is given by df_{num}=k-1=3-1=2 where k =3 represent the number of groups.  

The degrees of freedom for the denominator on this case is given by df_{den}=df_{between}=N-K=15-3=12.  

And the total degrees of freedom would be df=N-1=15 -1 =14  

And the correct answer would be 2 degrees of freedom for the numerator and 12 for the denominator
