The longest possible altitude of the third altitude (if it is a positive integer) is 83.

According to statement

Let h is the length of third altitude

Let a, b, and c be the sides corresponding to the altitudes of length 12, 14, and h.

From Area of triangle

A = 1/2*B*H

Substitute the values in it

A = 1/2*a*12

a = 2A / 12 -(1)

Then

A = 1/2*b*14

b = 2A / 14 -(2)

Then

A = 1/2*c*h

c = 2A / h -(3)

Now, we will use the triangle inequalities:

  • a < b+c

2A/12 < 2A/14 + 2A/h

Solve it and get

h<84

  • b < a+c

2A/14 < 2A/12 + 2A/h

Solve it and get

h > -84

  • c < a+b

2A/h < 2A/12 + 2A/14

Solve it and get

h > 6.46

From all the three inequalities we get:

6.46<h<84

So, the longest possible altitude of the third altitude (if it is a positive integer) is 83.

Answer:

p_v = P(\chi^2_{29}>42.963)=1-0.954=0.0459

b. between .025 and .05

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts and notation

The chi-square test is used to check if the standard deviation of a population is equal to a specified value. We can conduct the test "two-sided test or a one-sided test".

\bar X represent the sample mean

n = 30 sample size

s= 0.2 represent the sample deviation

\sigma_o =\sqrt{0.027}=0.164 the value that we want to test

p_v represent the p value for the test

t represent the statistic

\alpha= significance level

State the null and alternative hypothesis

On this case we want to check if the population standard deviation is less than 0.027, so the system of hypothesis are:

H0: \sigma \leq 0.027

H1: \sigma >0.027

In order to check the hypothesis we need to calculate the statistic given by the following formula:

t=(n-1) [\frac{s}{\sigma_o}]^2

This statistic have a Chi Square distribution distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom.

What is the value of your test statistic?

Now we have everything to replace into the formula for the statistic and we got:

t=(30-1) [\frac{0.2}{0.164}]^2 =42.963

What is the approximate p-value of the test?

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1= 30-1=29

For this case since we have a right tailed test the p value is given by:

p_v = P(\chi^2_{29}>42.963)=1-0.954=0.0459

And the best option would be:

b. between .025 and .05
