Mia has 50 feet of fencing to make a rectangular kennel for her dog. She decides to use part of her house as one side (width) of

the kennel. She needs a minimum enclosed area of 300 square feet. Let l represent the length of the kennel.
Which inequality represent this situation, and what is the solution set?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangular kennel is expressed as Length * Width.

A = L*W

If she needs a minimum enclosed area of 300 square feet, this means that the lowest amount of area she needs is 300ft² i.e it can be more.

The inequality that represent this situation is expressed as;

L*W≥300

Since she decides to use part of her house as one side (width) of the kennel, then the width of the kernel is 50ft. On substituting;

50L≥300

<em>The inequality that represents the situation is 50L≥300</em>

Divide both sides of the inequality by 50

50L/50≥300/50

L≥ 6

<em>Hence the solution set is L≥ 6 and W= 50</em>

In professional basketball games during 2009-2010, when Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers shot a pair of free throws, 8 time

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Is plausible that the successive throws are independent

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Table with info given

The observed values are given by the following table

__________________________________________________

First shot Made Second shot missed Total

__________________________________________________

Made 152 33 185

Missed 37 8 45

__________________________________________________

Total 189 41 230

2) Calculations and test

We are interested on check independence and for this we need to conduct a chi square test, the next step would be find the expected value:

Null hypothesis: Independence between two successive free throws

Alternative hypothesis: No Independence between two successive free throws

_____________________________________________________

First shot Made Second shot missed

_____________________________________________________

Made 189(185)/230=152.0217 41(185)/230=32.9783

Missed 189(45)/230=36.9783 41(45)/230=8.0217

_____________________________________________________

On this case all the expected values are higher than 5 and the sample size 230 is enough to apply the chi squared test.

3) Calculate the chi square statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:

$\chi_{cal}^2 =\sum \frac{(O_i -E_i)}{E_i}$

Where O represent the observed values and E the expected values. Replacing the values that we got we have this

$\chi_{cal}^2 =\frac{(152-152.0217)^2}{152.0217}+\frac{(33-32.9783)^2}{32.9783}+\frac{(37-36.9783)^2}{36.9783}+\frac{(8-8.0217)^2}{8.0217}=0.000003098+0.00001428+0.00001273+0.0.00005870=0.00008881$

Now with the calculated value we can find the degrees of freedom

$df=(r-1)(c-1)=(2-1)(2-1)=1$ on this case r means the number of rows and c the number of columns.

Now we can calculate the p value

$p_v =P(\chi^2 >0.00008881)=0.9925$

On this case the pvalue is a very large value and that indicates that we can fail to reject the null hypothesis of independence. So is plausible that the successive throws are independent.

write and solve an equation to find the width of the box if it's volume is 96 cubic centimeters. then find its surface area

Alex73 [517]

There's not enough given information in the question to calculate an answer.

If we only know that the volume of the box is 96 cm³, then there are an infinite
number of different lengths, widths, and surface areas that it could have.

In 154 N38 what digit should be replaced to N to make the number divisible by 3,6 and 9?

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$N = 6$ so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Number Theory there is a rule of thumb which states that sum of digits of a multiple of 3 equal 3 or a multiple of three. If we know that $n = 154N38$ , then its sum of digits is:

$x = 1 + 5+4+N+3+8$

$x = 21+N$ (Eq. 1)

We have to determine which digits corresponds to multiples of three, there are four digits:

N = 0

$x = 21+0$

$x = 21$ ( $3\times 7 = 21$ )

N = 3

$x = 21+3$

$x = 24$ ( $3\times 8 = 24$ )

N = 6

$x = 21+6$

$x = 27$ ( $3\times 9 = 27$ )

N = 9

$x = 21+9$

$x = 30$ ( $3\times 10 = 30$ )

We get the following four distinct options: 154038, 154338, 154638, 154938. Now we find which number is divisible by 6 and 9 by factor decomposition:

$154038 = 2\times 3\times 25673$

$154338 =2\times 3\times 29 \times 887$

$154638 = 2\times 3\times 3\times 11\times 11\times 71$

$154938 = 2\times 3\times 7\times 7\times 17\times 31$

It is quite evident that $N = 6$ so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.
