Answer:

Width = 3 feet

Length = 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the width of doghouse so,

Width = x

Length is 4 times more than its width

Length = x+4

Area of doghouse = 21 square feet

We know

Area of rectangle = Length * Width

21 = (x+4)*x

21 = x^2+4x

=> x^2+4x-21=0

Solving the above quadratic equation by factorization to find the value of x

x^2+7x-3x-21=0

x(x+7)-3(x+7)=0

(x+7)(x-3)=0

x+7 =0 and x-3=0

x= -7 and x =3

Since the width of rectangle can never be negative so, x=3

Width =x = 3 feet

Length = x+4 = 3+4 = 7 feet

Answer: (x + 7)(x - 3) = 0

width (x) = 3

length (x+4) = 7

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Area (A) = length (l) × width (x)

21 = (x + 4) × (x)

21 = x² + 4x <em>distributed (x) into (x + 4)</em>

0 = x² + 4x - 21 <em>subtracted 21 from both sides</em>

0 = (x + 7)(x - 3) <em>factored quadratic equation</em>

0 = x + 7 or 0 = x - 3 <em>applied Zero Product Property</em>

x = -7 or x = 3 <em>solved each equation</em>

x = -7 is not valid <em>because lengths cannot be negative </em>

so x = 3

and length ... x + 4 = (3) + 4 = 7

Drag and drop an answer to each box to correctly complete the explanation for deriving the formula for the volume of a sphere.

Advocard [28]

The volume of a sphere is given by:

$V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

So, we need to deduct this equation. We will walk through Calculus on the concept of a solid of revolution that is a solid figure that is obtained by rotating a plane curve around some straight line (the axis of revolution<span>) that lies on the same plane. We know from calculus that:

</span> $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}[f(x)]^{2}dx$
<span>
Then, according to the concept of solid of revolution we are going to rotate a circumference shown in the figure, then:

</span> $x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2}$
<span>
Isolationg y:

</span> $y= \sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}$ <span>

So,

</span> $f(x)=y=\sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}$ <span>

</span> $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}[\sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}]^{2}dx$
<span>
</span> $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}(r^{2}-x^{2})dx$ <span>

being -r and r the limits of this integral.

</span> $V=\pi \int_{-r}^{r}(r^{2}-x^{2})dx$
<span>
Solving:

</span> $V=\pi[r^{2}x-\frac{x^{3}}{3}]\right|_{-r}^{r}$

Finally:
<span>
</span> $V=\pi(r^{3}-\frac{r^{3}}{3})-\pi(-r^{3}+\frac{r^{3}}{3})= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$ <span>
</span><span>
</span>

Customers are used to evaluate a preliminary product design. In the past, 95% of highly successful products received good review

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a. 61.5%; b. About 61.8%; c. About 36.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a kind of question that we can solve using the Bayes' Theorem. We have here all the different conditional probabilities we need to solve this problem.

According to that theorem, the probability of a selected product attains a good review is:

$\\ P(G) = P(G|H)*P(H) + P(G|M)*P(M) + P(G|P)*P(P)$ (1)

In words, the probability that a selected product attains a <em>good review</em> is an <em>event </em>that depends upon the sum of the conditional probabilities that the product comes from <em>high successful product</em> P(G|H) by the probability that this product is a <em>highly successful product</em> P(H), plus the same about the rest of the probabilities, that is, P(G|M)*P(M) or the probability that the product has a good review coming from a <em>moderately successful</em> product by the probability of being moderately successful, and a good review coming from a poor successful product by the probability of being poor successful or P(G|P)*P(P).

<h3>The probability that a randomly selected product attains a good review</h3>

In this way, the probability that a randomly selected product attains a good review is the result of the formula (1). Where (from the question):

P(G|H) = 95% or 0.95 (probability of receiving a good review being a highly successful product)

P(G|M) = 60% or 0.60 (probability of receiving a good review being a moderately successful product)

P(G|P) = 10% or 0.10 (probability of receiving a good review being a poorly successful product)

P(H) = 40% or 0.40 (probability of being a highly successful product).

P(M) = 35% or 0.35 (probability of being a moderately successful product).

P(P) = 25% or 0.25 (probability of being a poor successful product).

Then,

$\\ P(G) = P(G|H)*P(H) + P(G|M)*P(M) + P(G|P)*P(P)$

$\\ P(G) = 0.95*0.40 + 0.60*0.35 + 0.10*0.25$

$\\ P(G) = 0.615\;or\; 61.5\%$

That is, <em>the probability that a randomly selected product attains a good review</em> is 61.5%.

<h3>The probability that a new product attains a good review is a highly successful product</h3>

We are looking here for P(H|G). We can express this probability mathematically as follows (another conditional probability):

$\\ P(H|G) = \frac{P(G|H)*P(H)}{P(G)}$

We can notice that the probability represents a fraction from the probability P(G) already calculated. Then,

$\\ P(H|G) = \frac{0.95*0.40}{0.615}$

$\\ P(H|G) =\frac{0.38}{0.615}$

$\\ P(H|G) =0.618$

Then, the probability of a product that attains a good review is indeed a highly successful product is about 0.618 or 61.8%.

<h3>The probability that a product that <em>does not attain </em>a good review is a moderately successful product</h3>

The probability that a product does not attain a good review is given by a similar formula than (1). However, this probability is the complement of P(G). Mathematically:

$\\ P(NG) = P(NG|H)*P(H) + P(NG|M)*P(M) + P(NG|P)*P(P)$

P(NG|H) = 1 - P(G|H) = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

P(NG|M) = 1 - P(G|M) = 1 - 0.60 = 0.40

P(NG|P) = 1 - P(G|M) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

So

$\\ P(NG) = 0.05*0.40 + 0.40*0.35 + 0.90*0.25$

$\\ P(NG) = 0.385\;or\; 38.5\%$

Which is equal to

P(NG) = 1 - P(G) = 1 - 0.615 = 0.385

Well, having all this information at hand:

$\\ P(M|NG) = \frac{P(NG|M)*P(M)}{P(NG)}$

$\\ P(M|NG) = \frac{0.40*0.35}{0.385}$

$\\ P(M|NG) = \frac{0.14}{0.385}$

$\\ P(M|NG) = 0.363636... \approx 0.364$

Then, the <em>probability that a new product does not attain a good review and it is a moderately successful product is about </em>0.364 or 36.4%.

A scientist measures a substance to be 0.8 grams. Calculate the percent of error in the measurement. Show all work for full cred

Volgvan

You'll need to give a bit more information for the question to be answered. You can only calculate the percentage of error if you know what the mass of the substance *should be* and what you've *measured* it to be.

In other words, if a substance has a mass of 0.55 grams and you measure it to be 0.80 grams, then the percent of error would be:

percent of error = { | measured value - actual value | / actual value } x 100%

So, in this case:

percent of error = { | 0.80 - 0.55 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = { | 0.25 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = 0.4545 x 100%
percent of error = 45.45%

So, in order to calculate the percent of error, you'll need to know what these two measurements are. Once you know these, plug them into the formula above and you should be all set!
