Answer:

293 packs is the maximum the store can sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the number of packs that can be made with 4 pairs of socks.

(1173 pairs)/(4 pairs/pack) = 293.25 packs

We can't sell 0.25 pack (1 pair of socks), so drop that fraction to yield 293 full packs. Donate the spare pair, so to speak, to the local IRS agent.

Since CB || ED and CB = ED,

by the alternate interior angles theorem,
mE = mC, and mD = mB.

with CB = ED, we can conclude that CBF = EDF, by SAS congruent theorem.

The area of a mirror is 225 Square inches, it's width is

Zepler [3.9K]

NO. The mirror will not fit in a space that is 15 inches by 16 inches

Solution:

Given that area of mirror is 225 square inches

$width = 13\frac{3}{4} \text{ inches }$

Converting the above mixed fraction we get,

$width = 13\frac{3}{4} = \frac{13 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{55}{4} \text{ inches }$

Let us find the length of mirror

The area of mirror is given as:

area of mirror = length x width

Substituting the given values,

$225 = length \times \frac{55}{4}\\\\length = 225 \times \frac{4}{55}\\\\length = 225 \times 0.0727\\\\length = 16.36$

Thus length of mirror is 16.36 inches

Will the mirror fit in a space that is 15 inches by 16 inches?

NO. The mirror will not fit in a space that is 15 inches by 16 inches

Because length of mirror is 16.36 inches whereas the given space is 15 inches long

16.36 > 15 so the length of mirror will not fit inside the space

Also width of mirror is $\frac{55}{4} = 13.75$ inches which is less than the given space whose width is 16 inches

13.75 < 16 so the width of mirror will not fit inside the space

Answer:

The answer is "Type 1 error".

Step-by-step explanation:

The error of type I, frequently known as a 'false positive': its error in judgment that perhaps a null hypothesis is simply rejected. This is the mistake of accepting a possible (actual interest hypothesis) hypothesis whenever the results could be attributed to chance since the researchers deny, if valid, the null hypothesis.
