The length of a rectangle is 2 yd longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 yd , find its area.

1 answer:

8 0

Width = x
Length = x +2
Perimeter = 24
Area = Width • Length = ?

Perimeter = 24 = 2(x +2) + 2(x)
= 2x + 4 + 2x
= 4x + 4
= 20 = 4x
= 5 = x

Width = x = 5, therefore Length = (5) + 2 = 7

Area = Width • Length = 5 • 7 = 35

Area = 35 yards

Answer:

b. CHISQ.TEST

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and previous concepts

A chi-square test is "used to test if the variance of a population is equal to a specified value. This test can be either a two-sided test or a one-sided test. The two-sided version tests against the alternative that the true variance is either less than or greater than the specified value"

The statistic is given by:

$\chi^2 = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i-E_i)^2}{E_i}$

In order to calculate the p value we need to have in count the degrees of freedom , on this case $df=(rows-1)(#cols-1)$ . And we can calculate the p value would be given by:
