A rectangular prism must have a base with an area of no more than 27 square meters. The width of the base must be 9 meters less

than the height of the prism. The length of the base must be 6 meters more than the width of the base. Find the maximum height of the prism. Let x = the height of the prism x – 9 =

Answer:

The maximum height of the prism is 12\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the height of the prism

we know that

the area of the rectangular base of the prism is equal to

A=L*W

A\leq 27\ m^{2}

so

L*W\leq 27 -------> inequality A

W=x-9 ------> equation B

L=W+6 -----> equation C

Substitute equation B in equation C

L=(x-9)+6

L=x-3 ------> equation D

Substitute equation B and equation D in the inequality A

(x-3)*(x-9)\leq 27-------> using a graphing tool to solve the inequality

The solution for x is the interval---------->[0,12]

see the attached figure

but remember that

The width of the base must be 9 meters less than the height of the prism

so

the solution for x is the interval ------> (9,12]

The maximum height of the prism is 12\ m

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population variance is \left[0.219, \hspace{0.1cm} 0.807\right]\\\\

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is \left [15.112, \hspace{0.3cm}15.688\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, a confidence interval of (1-\alpha) \times 100% for the population variance will be calculated.

$$Sample variance: $S^2=(0.6152)^2$\\Sample size $n=20$\\Confidence level $(1-\alpha)\times100\%=95\%$\\$\alpha: \alpha=0.05$\\$\chi^2$ values (for a 95\% confidence and n-1 degree of freedom)\\$\chi^2_{\left (1-\frac{\alpha}{2};n-1\right )}=\chi^2_{(0.975;19)}=8.907\\$\chi^2_{\left (\frac{\alpha}{2};n-1\right )}=\chi^2_{(0.025;19)}=32.852\\\\

Then, the (1-\alpha) \times 100% confidence interval for the population variance is given by:

\left [\frac{(n-1)S^2}{\chi^2_{\left (\frac{\alpha}{2};n-1\right )}}, \hspace{0.3cm}\frac{(n-1)S^2}{\chi^2_{\left (1-\frac{\alpha}{2};n-1\right )}} \right ]\\\\Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population variance is:\\\\\left [\frac{(19-1)(0.6152)^2}{32.852}, \hspace{0.1cm}\frac{(19-1)(0.6152)^2}{8.907} \right ]=\left[0.219, \hspace{0.1cm} 0.807\right]\\\\

On other hand,

A confidence interval of (1-\alpha) \times 100% for the population mean will be calculated

$$Sample mean: $\bar X=15.40$\\Sample variance: $S^2=(0.6152)^2$\\Sample size $n=20$\\Confidence level $(1-\alpha)\times100\%=95\%$\\$\alpha: \alpha=0.05$\\T values (for a 95\% confidence and n-1 degree of freedom) T_{(\alpha/2;n-1)}=T_{(0.025;19)}=2.093\\\\$Then, the (1-\alpha) \times 100$\% confidence interval for the population mean is given by:\\\\

\\left[ \bar X - T_{(\alpha/2;n-1}\sqrt{\frac{\S^2}{n}}, \hspace{0.3cm}\bar X + T_{(\alpha/2;n-1}\sqrt{\frac{\S^2}{n}} \right ]\\\\Thus, the 95\% confidence interval for the population mean is:\\\\\left [15.40 - 2.093\sqrt{\frac{(0.6152)^2}{19}}, \hspace{0.3cm}15.40 + 2.093\sqrt{\frac{(0.6152)^2}{19}} \right ]=\left [15.112, \hspace{0.3cm}15.688\right] \\\\

Which of the coordinate points below will fall on a line where the constant of proportionality is 1/4? Select all that apply. A)
kompoz [17]

Answer:

A) (4,1)  C) (12,3) D) (20,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Which has a constant of proportionality of 1/4

To solve this, we make use of:

y = kx

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

Solve for x

k = y/x

<u>Testing the given options</u>

A) (4,1)

k = y/x

k =1/4

B) (8,12)

k = y/x

k =12/8

k =3/2

C) (12,3)

k = y/x

k = 3/12

k = 1/4

D) (20,5)

k = y/x

k = 5/20

k = 1/4

E) (12,6)

k = y/x

k =6/12

k =1/2
