Width of the rectangle is 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x. Then the length = x - 3. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 54 sq. units

Area of the rectangle = length × width

54 = x (x - 3)

54 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x - 54 = 0

x² + 6x - 9x - 54 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x + 6) - 9(x + 6) = 0

(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0

x = -6, 9 (negative value is neglected)

x = 9 units

In choice situations of this type, subjects often exhibit the "center stage effect," which is a tendency to choose the item in t
victus00 [196]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The probability that he or she would choose the pair of socks in the center position is   p =\frac{1}{5}

The correct answer choice is

X has a binomial distribution with parameters n=100 and p=1/5  

b

The mean is  \mu = 20

The standard deviation is \sigma=4

c

The probability, P =0.0002

d

The correct answer is

The experiment supports the center stage effect. If participants were truly picking the socks at random, it would be highly unlikely for 34 or more to choose the center pair.

Using the R the probability Pe = 0.0003

The probabilities P \approx Pe

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the person selects his or her desired pair of socks at random , then the probability that the person would choose the pair of socks in the center position from all the five identical pair is mathematically evaluated as

                  p =\frac{1}{5}

                    =0.2

The mean of this distribution is mathematical represented as

           \mu = np

substituting the value

         \mu = 100 * 0.2

             \mu = 20

The standard deviation is mathematically represented as

         \sigma = \sqrt{np (1-p)}

substituting the value

           = \sqrt{100 * 0,2 (1-0.2)}

           \sigma=4

Applying normal approximation the probability that 34 or more subjects would choose the item in the center if each subject were selecting his or her preferred pair of socks at random would be mathematically represented as

               P=P(X \ge 34 )

By standardizing the normal approximation we have that

              P(X \ge 34) \approx P(Z \ge z)

Now z is mathematically evaluated as

               z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma }

Substituting values

             z = \frac{34-20}{4}

               =3.5

So  using the z table the P(Z \ge 3.5) is  0.0002

The probability P and Pe that 34 or more subject would choose the center pair is very small  So

The correct answer is

The experiment supports the center stage effect. If participants were truly picking the socks at random, it would be highly unlikely for 34 or more to choose the center pair.

9.2 x 13.8 = 126.96, now usually to get the area of a triangle we would half this but because we have two of the same triangle we would then have to double it again so they cancel each other out. We then do 6.9 x 9.2 which equals 63.48 and again we have two of the same triangle so no need to half it. So we add the two totals of 126.96 and 63.48 together to get 190.44.

Drag the cards to create a two-digit number that matches these rules. Note: Not all cards will be used 6 is one of the digits 20
Greeley [361]

Answer:

As i understand this:

We have cards with the values:

0, 1, 2 and 6.

We want to create a two digit number such that:

Not all the cards are used.

6 is one digit of our number.

When we round to the nearest ten, we get 20.

Now, first remember how rounding works.

If we have a number like ab, where a and b are single digits (a is in the tens place and b is in the units place), then:

if b is 5 or more, we round up

if b is less than 5, we round down.

Now in this case we want to have a digit equal 6, if we use this in the units place, then when rounding, we will round up.

Then the other digit can be 1, such that we use the cards:

1 and 6.

then our number is 16:

When rounding, 6 > 5, then we round up to 20.

So this number meets all the conditions.
