In trapezoid $ABCD$, $\overline{AB}$ is parallel to $\overline{CD}$, $AB = 7$ units, and $CD = 10$ units. Segment $EF$ is drawn

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

EF = 58/7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you extend both BC and AD to meet at P you get 3 similar triangles PAB, PEF, and PCD. Let's call BF = 3x and FC = 4x. Therefore the following proportions can be expressed:

BP/7 = (BP+7x)/10

10BP = 7*(BP+7x)

10BP = 7BP+49x

3BP = 49x

BP = (49/3)x

BP/7 = (BP+3x)/EF

EF = (BP+3x)*7/BP

EF = ((49/3)x + 3x)*7/((49/3)x)

EF = ((58/3)x*7*3)/(49x)

EF = 58/7

What if we say that x's value is 2. Do 2x and x to the second power have the same value?

Basile [38]

Yes. Substitute 2 for x.

We have
$2x=2(2)=2^2=4$
$x^2=2^2=2(2)=4$

Complete Question

Answer:

a

$SE = 0.66}$

b

$-3.29 < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < -0.70$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 60

The first sample mean is $\= x _1 = 8$

The second sample mean is $\= x _2 = 10$

The first variance is $v_1 = 0.25$

The first variance is $v_2 = 0.55$

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is 5% = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the first standard deviation is

$\sigma_1 = \sqrt{v_1}$

=> $\sigma_1 = \sqrt{0.25}$

=> $\sigma_1 = 0.5$

Generally the second standard deviation is

$\sigma_2 = \sqrt{v_2}$

=> $\sigma_2 = \sqrt{0.55}$

=> $\sigma_2 = 0.742$

Generally the first standard error is

$SE_1 = \frac{\sigma_1}{\sqrt{n} }$

$SE_1 = \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{60} }$

$SE_1 = 0.06$

Generally the second standard error is

$SE_2 = \frac{\sigma_2}{\sqrt{n} }$

$SE_2 = \frac{0.742}{\sqrt{60} }$

$SE_2 = 0.09$

Generally the standard error of the difference between their mean scores is mathematically represented as

$SE = \sqrt{SE_1^2 + SE_2^2 }$

=> $SE = \sqrt{0.06^2 +0.09^2 }$

=> $SE = 0.66}$

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$(\= x_1 -\= x_2) -(Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * SE) < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < (\= x_1 -\= x_2) +(Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * SE)$

=> $(8 -10) -(1.96 * 0.66) < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < (8-10) +(Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * 0.66)$

=> $-3.29 < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < -0.70$
