Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rug is given by the trinomial,

r² - 2r - 35

Since, area of the rectangular rug = Length × Width

Now we will convert the given trinomial in the factored form,

r² - 2r - 35 = r² - 7r + 5r - 35

= r(r - 7) + 5(r - 7)

= (r + 5)(r - 7)

Therefore, Dimension of the rectangular rug will be (r + 5) × (r - 7)

Last year Boris paid £256 for his car insurance.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The percentage increase in the cost of Boris car insurance cost is 249%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to calculate the percentage increase in the cost of car insurance paid by Boris

Mathematically, to calculate this percentage increase, we shall need to make use of a mathematical formula.

Mathematically, the percentage increase would be;

{(new value paid-old value paid)/old value paid} * 100%

From the question, we can identify that the old value paid is £256 while the new value paid is £894

Thus, the percentage increase would be ;

(894-256)/256 * 100% = 638/256 * 100 = 2.4921875 * 100 = 249.21875 which is 249% increase to the nearest whole percentage

A distribution for a set of wrist circumferences (measured in centimeters) taken from the right wrist of a random sample of newb

lozanna [386]

Answer:

A Histogram will be used to represent the size of right wrist of the random sample of newborn infants.

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is the graphical representation of the frequency distribution in the given sample. As the value of circumference can be a positive real number, therefore a Histogram with class boundaries can be formed such that the overall frequency of a wrist size is also visible in the graph.

Also as the distribution will be of continuous nature thus a histogram is a more suitable option as compared to a bar or stem and leaf graph.

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is five times

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$x=30\\y=68\\z=82$

Step-by-step explanation:

x = measure of the first angle

y = measure of the second angle

z = measure of the third angle

The sum of the measures of the second and third (y+z) is five times the measure of the first angle (=5x)

$y+z=5x$

The third angle is 14 more than the second

$z=y+14$

And remember that the sum of these three angles must be equal to 180.

$x+y+z=180$

Let's take these equations

$y+z=5x\\z=y+14\\x+y+z=180$

If you take a look at the first equation, we have y+z = 5x and we have y+z in the third equation as well, we can replace that....

$x+y+z=180\\x+(y+z)=180\\x+(5x)=180$

Distribute the + sign

$x+5x=180$

Combine like terms;

$6x=180$

Divide by 6.

$x=\frac{180}{6}\\ x=30$

We have now defined that the measure of the first angle is 30º.

Let's take another equation... for example $z=y+14$

I'm going to take this one because if I replace x and z in the third equation, all I'll have left will be y.

$x+y+z=180\\30+y+(y+14)=180$

Distribute the + sign and Combine like terms;

$30+y+y+14=180\\44+2y=180\\$

Subtract 44 to isolate 2y.

$2y=180-44\\2y=136$

Now divide by 2.

$y=\frac{136}{2}\\ y=68$

We already have the value of x and y. Once again, replacing this in the third equation will leave us with z to solve for.

$x+y+z=180\\30+68+z=180\\98+z=180\\z=180-98\\z=82$

A survey of 225 students showed the mean number of hours spent studying per week was 20.6 and the standard deviations was 2.7

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The margin of error is approximately 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information has been provided;

The sample size, n =225 students

The sample mean number of hours spent studying per week = 20.6

The standard deviation = 2.7

The question requires us to determine the margin of error that would be associated with a 90% confidence level. In constructing confidence intervals of the population mean, the margin of error is defined as;

The product of the associated z-score and the standard error of the sample mean. The standard error of the sample mean is calculated as;

$\frac{sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

where sigma is the standard deviation and n the sample size. The z-score associated with a 90% confidence level, from the given table, is 1.645.

The margin of error is thus;

$1.645*\frac{2.7}{\sqrt{225}}=0.2961$

Therefore, the margin of error is approximately 0.3
