Answer:

Option 4 is correct

$P=5+6w$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

$P=2(l+w)$ ....[1]

where w be the width of the rectangle and l be the length of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

length of a rectangle is 5/2 units greater than twice its width.

⇒ $l = \frac{5}{2}+ 2w$ units

Substitute this in [1] we get;

$P=2(\frac{5}{2}+ 2w+w)$

Combine like terms;

$P=2(\frac{5}{2}+3w)$

Using distributive property: $a\cdot (b+c) =a\cdot b+ a\cdot c$

$P=5+6w$

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle in terms of w is $P=5+6w$ units

kupik [55]

This is a linear function: y = mx + b, where m = slope and b, the value of y when x = 0

Having said that, the equation becomes : y = 7x+5

And the slope of the graph represents : A)The girth increases by 7 centimeters each year

Suppose two different methods are available for eye surgery. The probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.002

umka21 [38]

Answer:

0.4007

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following events:

A: method A is used

B: method B is used

NR: the eye has not recovered in a month

R: the eye is recovered in a month

The probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.002 if method A is used, i.e., P(NR|A) = 0.002, so P(R|A) = 0.998.

When method B is used, the probability that the eye has not recovered in a month is 0.005, i.e., P(NR|B) = 0.005, so P(R|B) = 0.995.

40% of eye surgeries are done with method A, i.e., P(A) = 0.4

60% of eye surgeries are done with method B, i.e., P(B) = 0.6

If an eye is recovered in a month after surgery is done in the hospital, what is the probability that method A was performed? We are looking for P(A|R), then, by Bayes' Formula

P(A|R) = P(R|A)P(A)/(P(R|A)P(A) + P(R|B)P(B)) = 0.998*0.4/(0.998*0.4 + 0.995*0.6) = 0.4007

Repair calls are handled by one repairman at a photocopy shop. Repair time, including travel time, is exponentially distributed,

seropon [69]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Mean = 1.1 hours per call =

R = Mean rate = 1.6 per eight hour day

$\mu$ = $\frac{8}{1.6}$ = 5 per day

Based on the above information

a. The average number of customers is

$= \frac{R^2}{\mu(\mu- R)}$

$= \frac{1.6^2}{5(5- 1.6)}$

= 151

b. The system utilization is

$= \frac{R}{\mu}$

= $\frac{1.6}{5}$

= 0.32

c. The amount of time required is

= 1 - system utilization

= 1 - 0.32

= 0.68

And, there is 8 hours per day

So, it would be

= $0.68 \times 8$

= 5.44 hours

d. Now the probability of two or more customers is

$= 1 - (0.68 + 0.68 \times 0.32)$

= 0.1024

Therefore we simply applied the above formulas

Maureen is in charge of renting a climbing wall for the school’s fundraiser. The equation y = 170x represents the total cost of

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Company A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

For company A- 170 is the cost for one hour

For company B- 170 is the cost for one hour

For company C- 175 is the cost for one hour

So company A and B offer the best deal since they both offer $170 per hour.

The width of a triangle is six more than twice the height. The area of the triangle is 88in2. Find the height and base of the tr

malfutka [58]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:

$A = \frac {b * h} {2}$

Where:

b: It is the base of the triangle

h: It is the height of the triangle

According to the statement data we have:

$b = 6 + 2h$

Substituting we have:

$88 = \frac {(6 + 2h) * h} {2}\\176 = 6h + 2h ^ 2\\2h ^ 2 + 6h-176 = 0$

We divide between 2 on both sides:

$h ^ 2 + 3h-88 = 0$

We factor by looking for two numbers that, when multiplied, are obtained -88 and when added together, +3 is obtained.

These numbers are +11 and -8.

$(h + 11) (h-8) = 0$

We have two roots:

$h = -11\\h = 8$

We choose the positive value.

Thus, the base of the triangle is: $b = 6 + 2 (8) = 22$

Answer:

The base of the triangle is 22 units.
