Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is as follows:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

A and B represent the side lengths (legs) and C represents the hypotenuse.

The length of one leg equals 5cm. (This can be represented by either a or b)

The hypotenuse equals 13 cm.

Plug these into the equation from above:

a^{2} + (5^{2}) = (13^{2})

Solve for the other leg:

   a^{2} + 25 = 169                          Square what's in the parentheses from above

a^{2} = 144\\                                  Subtract 25 from 169

\sqrt{a^{2} } = \sqrt{144}                            Square root both sides

a = 12 cm                        

Thus, the length of the other leg is 12 cm.

Let's check our answer:

12^{2} +5^{2} =13^{2}                        Square everything

144 + 25 = 169                      Add

169 = 169

Because both sides are equal it means that 12 cm is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!!

Based on the tree diagram below what is the probability that the test for lice returns a false positive
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

0.0492

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the tree diagram we need to tell the the probability that the test for lice returns a false positive. False positive means that the student has no lice but still the test shows a positive result.

So for this we have to first look for the branch, from the starting node, which shows that student has no lice. From the starting point, the upper branch represents the students that have lice and lower branch represents the students who have no lice. So, we will consider the lower branch with probability mentioned as 0.82

Now, the lower branch is divided into two branches further. We have to look for the branch which shows positive test result. This would be the upper branch with probability mentioned as 0.06.

The overall probability of this event is mentioned at the end of the branch which is 0.0492

This is the probability of the combined event: Student has no lice but tests shows positive result which is the False positive.

Thus, the probability that the test for lice returns a false positive is 0.0492

a veterinary researcher takes an srs of 60 horses presenting with colic whose average age is 12 years. the average age of all ho
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The value 10 years is the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample consists of some observations drawn from the population, so a part or a subset of the population which in this case is the number of horses with colic.

A sample mean is the mean of the statistical samples while a population mean is the mean of the total population.

Thus, in this case, the sample mean is the mean age of the horses with colic while the population mean age is the mean age of all the horses found at the clinic.

Therefore, the mean age of 10 of the horses seen at the clinic would be the population mean.
