21. You Place A Mat Around A 25 In By 21 Inch Painting As Shown. The Matis Twice As Wide At The Left

Answers

Answer 1

Using a quadratic equation according to the area of the rectangular mat, it is found that:

At the top and bottom of the painting, the width is 0.654 inches.At the left and right of the painting, the width is of 1.308 inches.

The area of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

[tex]A = lw[/tex]

In this problem:

The length of the figure is of [tex]l = 25 + 4x[/tex].The width of the figure is of [tex]w = 21 + 2x[/tex].Area of 714 square inches, thus:

[tex]lw = 714[/tex]

[tex](25 + 4x)(21 + 2x) = 714[/tex]

[tex]8x^2 + 134x + 525 = 714[/tex]

[tex]8x^2 + 134x - 189 = 0[/tex]

Which is a quadratic equation with [tex]a = 8, b = 134, c = -189[/tex].

The, to find the widths of the mat, we have to first find the value of x, solving the quadratic equation.

[tex]\Delta = 134^2 - 4(8)(-189) = 24004 [/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-134 + \sqrt{24004}}{2(8)} = 0.654[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-134 - \sqrt{24004}}{2(8)} = -9.03[/tex]  

We are interest in the positive value of x, so x = 0.654.

At the top and bottom of the painting, the width is of 0.654 inches.

[tex]2(0.654) = 1.308[/tex]

At the left and right of the painting, the width is of 1.308 inches.

Martha Stewart has developed a new perfume. She decides to test its side effects by spraying the perfume in 31 randomly chosen houses. She records the level of antigens that create an allergic response. If the antigen level is high enough, the person will go into anaphylactic shock. The mean of her sample is a lot bigger than the median, but Martha hopes that a 90% confidence interval will contain zero. Her confidence interval is (0.116, 1.884). Disappointed, she offers you $144 to find an acceptable, realistic way to change the confidence interval to contain zero. What could you say to earn the money

Answers

The acceptable and realistic ways to to change the confidence interval to contain zero are;

Martha should decrease x-bar by providing medicine to treat shock to the perfume users.Decrease sample size than 30Increase the confidence level, till the interval contains zero

Reasons:

The confidence interval is given by the following formula;

[tex]CI=\bar{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2} \cdot \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

When the mean, [tex]\overline x[/tex], is positive and large, both values, [tex]\bar{x}+ t_{\alpha/2} \cdot \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex], and [tex]\bar{x} -t_{\alpha/2} \cdot \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex], will be positive.

Therefore, Martha has to either intervene to reduce the mean also known as x-bar

Increasing the confidence level will increase the allowable error such that [tex]\bar{x} < t_{\alpha/2} \cdot \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex], and the interval will contain zero

Therefore;

Martha should decrease x-bar, [tex]\overline x[/tex], by providing medicine to treat shock to the perfume usersUse a much smaller sample size, n, such that [tex]t_{\alpha/2} \cdot \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}} > \bar{x}[/tex]

Increase the confidence level to 95% or 99%, thereby increasing the error bound

Answers

393.12 kids. This is technically impossible, as you can't have 0.12 of a kid, so I will round down to 393 kids.

Step-by-step explanation:

9% = 0.09

x = amount of kids who want to be lawyers

y = amount of kids who do not want to be lawyers

x = 0.09(432)

x = 38.88

y = 432 - 38.88
