Answer:

  • B. 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pool deck be x.

  • Dimensions of the pool are 12 + 2x and 24 + 2x.
  • Total area is 1408 ft².

<u>We have equation:</u>

  • (12 + 2x)(24 + 2x) = 1408
  • 12*24 + 12*2x + 24*2x + (2x)² = 1408
  • 288 + 72x + 4x² = 1408
  • 4x² + 72x + 288 - 1408 = 0
  • 4x² + 72x - 1120 = 0
  • x² + 18x - 280 = 0
  • x² - 10x + 28x - 280 = 0
  • x(x - 10) + 28(x - 10) = 0
  • (x - 10)(x + 28) = 0

1)

  • x - 10 = 0
  • x = 10

2)

  • x + 28 = 0
  • x = - 28 (discarded as negative)

Correct choice is B

Suppose that the salaries, in thousands of dollars, of the managers for a industry are normally distributed with an unknown mean
Marrrta [24]

Answer: t _(α/2) = 2.060

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

sample size n = 26

confidence interval = 95%

level of significance α = ( 1 - 95/100 ) = 0.05

but from the question the salaries (26) are use to estimate the mean of the population so, its a two tail test

therefore our level if significance α will be divided by 2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

now our degree of freedom df = 26 - 1 = 25

FROM standard t-table value

the critical value of t for the level of significance 0.025

and 25 degree of freedom is 2.060

therefore, t _(α/2) = 2.060
