Answer:

  9 and 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown lengths can be found by making use of the formula for the area of a trapezoid.

__

Let x represent the shorter base. Then the longer one is (x+6), and the area is ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h . . . . area of a trapezoid with bases b1, b2, and height h

  72 = 1/2(x +(x+6))(6)

  24 = 2x +6 . . . . . . . . .  simplify, divide by 3

  18 = 2x . . . . . . . . . subtract 6

  9 = x . . . . . . divide by 2

  15 = x+6 . . . . . . the length of the longer base

The bases are 9 inches and 15 inches in length.

The mean family income for a random sample of 600 suburban households in Loganville shows that a 95 percent confidence interval
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

43100 \leq \mu \leq 59710

And for this case we want to test the following hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: \mu =42000

Alternative hypothesis: \mu \neq 42000

For this case since the lower value of the confidence interval is higher than 42000 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at the 55 of significance and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 42000

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

And for this case the 95% confidence interval is already calculated as:

43100 \leq \mu \leq 59710

And for this case we want to test the following hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: \mu =42000

Alternative hypothesis: \mu \neq 42000

For this case since the lower value of the confidence interval is higher than 42000 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at the 55 of significance and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 42000
