We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve this

The pythagorean theorem = a^2 + b^2 = c^2, while

a = one leg

b = the second leg

c = the hypotenuse

In this problem,

a = 3

b = 15

c = ?

Let's plug our values into the pythagorean theorem

(3)^2 + (15)^2 = c^2

9 + 225 = c^2

Add together the left side

234 = c^2

Take the sqrt of both sides

sqrt(234) = c

The length of BC = sqrt(234)

the slope of a line passing through h (-2, 5) is -3/4. Which ordered pair represents a point on this line?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope of the given points with the point (- 2, 5 )

If the slope is - $\frac{3}{4}$ then the point is on the line

Calculate slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 1)

m = $\frac{-1-5}{6+2}$ = $\frac{-6}{8}$ = - $\frac{3}{4}$ ← point (6, - 1) is on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 8)

m = $\frac{8-5}{2+2}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ ← point (2, 8) is not on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 1)

m = $\frac{1-5}{-5+2}$ = $\frac{-4}{-3}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$ ← point (- 5, 1) is not on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1)

m = $\frac{1-5}{1+2}$ = - $\frac{4}{3}$ ← point (1, 1) is not on the line

Thus the point on the line is (6, - 1 ) → A

Answer:

Yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of Representative is

A representative sample is a group or set chosen from a larger statistical population or group of factors or instances that adequately replicates the larger group according to whatever characteristic or quality is under study

so your book is whats understudy and with that you'll know that yes, yes it is

Consider the following hypothesis test. H0: μ ≥ 55 Ha: μ < 55 A sample of 36 is used. Identify the p-value and state your con

Ket [755]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$H_o: \mu \ge 55 \ \\ \\ H_1 : \mu < 55$

(a) For x = 54 and s = 5.3

The test statistics can be computed as:

$Z = \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

$Z = \dfrac{54-55}{\dfrac{5.3}{\sqrt{36}} }$

$Z = \dfrac{-1}{\dfrac{5.3}{6} }$

Z = -1.132

degree of freedom = n - 1

= 36 - 1

= 35

Using the Excel Formula:

P-Value = T.DIST(-1.132,35,1) = 0.1326

Decision: p-value is greater than significance level; do not reject $\mathbf{H_o}$

$Conclusion: \ There \ is \ insufficient \ evidence \ to \ conclude \ that \$ $\mu < 55$

For x = 53 and s = 4.6

The test statistics can be computed as:

$Z = \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

$Z = \dfrac{53-55}{\dfrac{4.6}{\sqrt{36}} }$

$Z = \dfrac{-2}{\dfrac{4.6}{6} }$

Z = -2.6087

degree of freedom = n - 1

= 36 - 1

= 35

Using the Excel Formula:

P-Value = T.DIST(-2.6087,35,1) =0.0066

Decision: p-value is < significance level; we reject the null hypothesis.

$Conclusion: \ There \ is \ sufficient \ evidence \ to \ conclude \ that$ $\mu < 55$

For x = 56 and s = 5.0

The test statistics can be computed as:

$Z = \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

$Z = \dfrac{56-55}{\dfrac{5.0}{\sqrt{36}} }$

Z = 1.2

degree of freedom = n - 1

= 36 - 1

= 35

Using the Excel Formula:

P-Value = T.DIST(1.2,35,1) = 0.88009

Decision: p-value is greater than significance level; do not reject $\mathbf{H_o}$

$Conclusion: \ There \ is \ insufficient \ evidence \ to \ conclude \ that \$ $\mu < 55$
