The length of the rectangle is 3 cm

<h3>Applications of Quadratic equations</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the value of the length of the rectangle

To find the length of the rectangle, we will determine the value of x in the given equation

The given equation is

x^{2} + 5x =24

This can be written as

x^{2} +5x -24 =0

Factorizing

x^{2} +8x - 3x -24 = 0

x(x+8) -3(x+8)=0

(x-3)(x+8)=0

Then,

x-3 = 0 OR x + 8 = 0

x = 3 OR x = -8

Since, the length of the rectangle cannot be negative, the value of x is 3.

Hence, the length of the rectangle is 3 cm.

Here is a list of ages (years) of children in a room: 5, 8, 5, 6, 8, 3, 6 State the median.
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a list of numbers is the number found in the "middle" of all the numbers. What this means is that it has the same amount of numbers larger and smaller than it in the list. To find the median, we first have to organize the list from least to greatest. Doing this, we get 3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8.

Now that we have the list, we can find the "middle number" by taking off numbers the highest number then the lowest number. Doing this we get

3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8

5, 5, 6, 6, 8

5, 6, 6

6

This means our median is 6.

A probability distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the probability associated with each outcome. T
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the probability associated with each outcome. Probability distribution is associated with the following characteristics or properties;

1. The outcomes are mutually exclusive.

2. The list of outcomes is exhaustive, which simply means that the sum of all probabilities of the outcomes must equal one (1).

3. The probability for a particular value or outcome must be between 0 and 1.

Since a probability distribution gives the likelihood of an outcome or event, a single random variable is divided into two main categories, namely;

I. Probability density functions for continuous variables.

II. Discrete probability distributions for discrete variables.

For example, when a coin is tossed, you can only have a head or tail (H or T).

Also, when you throw a die, the only possible outcome is 1/6 and the total probability for it all must equal to one (1).
