The side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

The formula for calculating the area of a square is expressed as:

A =  L² where:

L is the side length of the square

Given the area of the square concrete slab = 20 square feet

20 = L²

L =√20

If the area is increased  by 25%, new area will be:

An = 20 + (0.25*20)

An = 20 + 5

An = 25 sq.ft

Get the new length

An = Ln²

25 =   Ln²

Ln = √25

Ln = 5feet

Hence the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

The income distribution in a county is a normal distribution with a mean income of $10,000. The top 2.5% of the wage earners ear
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

<em>84%</em><em> of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7%)-

According to this around 95% of the data will fall within two standard deviations of the mean.

As the bell curve is symmetrical, so the remaining 5% will be divided into 2 equal parts. So 2.5% will be above 2 standard deviation and 2.5% will be below 2 standard deviation.

As it is given that, the top 2.5% of the wage earners earn $18,000 or more, so 18,000 is 2 standard deviation away from the mean 10,000.

i.e 2\sigma=18000-10000=8000

\Rightarrow \sigma = 4000

We know that,

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

where,

X = raw score = 14,000

μ = 10,000

σ = 4,000

Putting the values,

Z=\dfrac{14000-10000}{4000}=\dfrac{4000}{4000}=1

Now, calculating the value from the z score table,

P(1)=0.8413=84.13\%

As the probability at z=1 is the area below that, so 84% of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each.

Cristine's middle school has a total of 900 students and 45 teachers. The local high school has 110 teachers and a student-teach
frozen [14]
Write and solve an equation of ratios:

900 students      45 teachers         
------------------  = -----------------  
          x               110 teachers     

Cross multiplying, we get (900)(110) / 45, or

                                                                 
so x = # of students in the high school = 2200   (answer)

Suppose that Randy is an analyst for the bicyling industry and wants to estimate the asking price of used entry-level road bikes
padilas [110]

Answer: The lower limit of this confidence interval = $576.41

The upper limit of this confidence interval = $831.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \mu be the population mean price of a used road bike.

As per given have,

n=11

Degree of freedom = 10

\overline{x}=\$703.75

s= $189.56

T-critical value for 95% confidence :

t_{(df, \alpha/2)}=t_{(10,0.025)}=2.228

Now, 95% confidence interval for μ, the mean price of a used road bike. will be :

\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

\$703.75\pm (2.228)\dfrac{189.56}{\sqrt{11}}

\$703.75\pm \$127.34

(\$703.75-\$127.34,\ \$703.75+\$127.34)

(\$576.41,\ \$831.09)

Thus , the lower limit of this confidence interval = $576.41

The upper limit of this confidence interval = $831.09
