Area of a rectangle = length x width
For this postcard:
length = 4 in
width = (3+b) in
area = 24 in^2

Substitute into the area formula:
24 = 4 x (3+b)
24 = 12 + 4b
24 - 12 = 4b
12 = 4b
b = 3 in

Therefore:
the length of the postcard = 4 inch
the width of the postcard = b+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 inch

Zina [12379]

Answer:

Confidence limit = [52.8%, 75.2%]

Step-by-step explanation:

P=\frac{45}{70}= 0.64

(1-P)=1-0.64=0.36

n= 70

P ± z \sqrt{\frac{P(1-P)}{n} }

where the value z will be sourced from the z-table regarding a 95% confidence interval

1-0.95= 0.05/2= 0.025

0.95+0.025= 0.0975

From the z-table, the value of z linked to 0.0975 is 1.96

0.64 ± 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.64*0.36}{70} }

0.64 ± 1.96 (0.057)

0.64 ± 0.112

64%% ± 11.2%

thus, the confidence interval is

64+11.2=75.2%

64-11.2=52.8%

[52.8, 75.2]

babunello [11817]

Answer:

0.2 = 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The combinations that yield a total of 6 or lower include:

(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5),

(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4),

(3,1), (3,2), (3,3),

(4,1), (4,2),

(5,1)

(15 combinations in total)

The combinations resulting in a total of 4 are:

(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)

(3 combinations in total)

Thus, the probability of obtaining a sum of 4, given that the total is 6 or less is:

P = 3/15 = 0.2 = 20%
