The length of the other two sides is 10 and 35 respectively.

<h3>What is a ratio?</h3>

A ratio is a quantitative relation showing the comparison between two or more numbers. It can also be written in the fractional form where the first part is the numerator and the second part is called the denominator.

From the given information:

  • The sides of the triangle = 2:7:8
  • The total sides of the triangle = 2+7+8 = 17

We are being told that the longest side is the triangle is equal to 40.

i.e.

\mathbf{\to\dfrac{8}{17}\times x = 40}

\mathbf{x = 40 \div \dfrac{8}{17}}

\mathbf{x = 40 \times \dfrac{17}{8}}

x = 85

Now for the other two sides 2 and 7, their length is as follows.

\mathbf{\dfrac{2}{17}\times 85 = 10}

\mathbf{\dfrac{7}{17}\times 85 = 35}

Therefore, we can conclude that the length of the other two sides is 10 and 35 respectively.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The incentive program does not cuts down on the number of days missed by employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent t-test (also known as the paired t-test or paired samples t-test) compares the two means associated groups to conclude if there is a statistically significant difference amid these two means.

A paired <em>t</em>-test would be used to determine whether the incentive program cuts down on the number of days missed by employees.

The hypothesis for the test can be defined as follows:

<em>H₀</em>: The incentive program does not cuts down on the number of days missed by employees, i.e. <em>d</em> ≥ 0.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The incentive program cuts down on the number of days missed by employees, i.e. <em>d</em> < 0.

From the information provided the data computed is as follows:

 n=10\\\bar d=-1.1\\SD_{d}=2.99

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

 t=\frac{\bar d}{SD_{d}/\sqrt{n}}

   =\frac{-1.1}{2.99/\sqrt{10}}\\\\=-1.16

The test statistic value is -1.16.

Decision rule:

If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

Compute the p-value of the test as follows:

p-value=P(t_{n-1}

*Use a t-table.

The p-value of the test is 0.1379.

The p-value of the test is very large for all the commonly used significance level. The null hypothesis will not be rejected.

Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim.

Conclusion:

The incentive program does not cuts down on the number of days missed by employees

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have points (-1,5) and (3,4) we can find the slope m of y=mx+b

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-d1)=(5-4)/(-1-3)=1/-4=-1/4 so we have

y=-x/4+b, using point (3,4) we can solve for the y intercept, b.

4=-3/4+b, b=19/4, so the line is

y=(-x+19)/4
