Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of exponents
=
Note that 8 = 2³, thus
=
=
= 2²
When you read this, the first thing that should jump out at you is:
What does "largest" mean ?
Does it mean the longest possible playground ? The widest possible ?
The playground with the most possible area ?
Well, we can narrow it down right away. If you try and find the longest
or the widest possible playground, then what you get is: The longest or
the widest possible playground is 250 feet by zero. It has a perimeter
of 500 ft, and nobody can play in it. That's silly.
It makes a lot more sense if we look for the playground that has
the greatest AREA.
I happen to remember that if you have a certain fixed amount of
fence and you want to use it to enclose the most possible area,
then you should form it into a circle. And if it has to be a rectangle,
then the next most area will be enclosed when you form it into a square.
So you want to take your 500 feet of fence and make a playground
that's 125-ft long and 125-ft wide.
Its area is (125-ft x 125-ft) = 15,625 square feet.
Just to make sure that a square is the right answer, let's test
what we would have if we made it not quite square ... let's say
1 foot longer and 1 foot narrower:
Length = 126 feet
Width = 124 feet
Perimeter = 2 (126 + 124) = 500-ft good
Area = (126-ft x 124-ft) = 15,624 square feet.
Do you see what happened ? We kept the same perimeter, but
as soon as we started to make it not-square, the area started to
decrease.
The square is the rectangle with the most possible area.

The answer you should be getting is :
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) The mean of the probability distribution = 0.6
b) The variance of the probability distribution = 0.3
c) The standard deviation of the probability distribution = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
number of dogs per household in a small town
Dogs Probability Expected Mean Diff Mean Diff.
Value Squared
0 0.650 0 -0.569 0.32376
1 0.216 0.216 -0.353 0.12461
2 0.087 0.174 -0.395 0.15603
3 0.026 0.078 -0.491 0.24108
4 0.014 0.056 -0.513 0.26317
5 0.009 0.045 -0.524 0.27458
The mean = 0.569 (Sum of expected value)
Variance = mean of squared differences = 0.27665 (1.38323/5)
Standard deviation = square root of variance = 0.526 = 0.5
The general equation for a circle is:
Where the center is (h,k) and the radius is r.
The equation we are given is:
From this, the center is (2,-3), and the radius is , or .
