Answer:

This is a Right Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

12=a 16=b 20=c

Now lets solve

a^2+b^2=c^2

144+b^2=c^2

144+256=c^2

144+256=400

c^2=400

The square root of 400 is 20..

This IS a Right Triangle

∠ABC and ∠DBC are complementary angles. If ∠ABC=6x+13 and ∠DBC=4x−3 what is the value of x?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Complimentary angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees. If ABC and DBC are complimentary, then when added together, it equals 90 degrees.

ABC + DBC = 90

6x+13+4x−3 = 90

10x+10 = 90

10x = 80

x = 8

If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 25 hours and there is currently a population of 10,000 bacteria, what will t

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The population of 75 hours from now would be 40,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this is because your initial number is 10,000 and when 25 hours pass by, your population would be 20,000. Another 25 hours pass by, and then your population would be 40,000. If you multiply 25 by 3, you will notice 75 hours have just passed, so your answer would be 40,000.

A company surveyed 2400 men where 1248 of the men identified themselves as the primary grocery shopper in their household. a) E

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

a) With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

b) The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

c) $\alpha =1-0.98=0.02$

Step-by-step explanation:

If np' and n(1-p') are higher than 5, a confidence interval for the proportion is calculated as:

$p'-z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }\leq p\leq p'+z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$

Where p' is the proportion of the sample, n is the size of the sample, p is the proportion of the population and $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the z-value that let a probability of $\alpha/2$ on the right tail.

Then, a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper can be calculated replacing p' by 0.52, n by 2400, $\alpha$ by 0.02 and $z_{\alpha/2}$ by 2.33

Where p' and $\alpha$ are calculated as:

$p' = \frac{1248}{2400}=0.52\\\alpha =1-0.98=0.02$

So, replacing the values we get:

$0.52-2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\leq p\leq 0.52+2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\\0.52-0.0238\leq p\leq 0.52+0.0238\\0.4962\leq p\leq 0.5438$

With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

Finally, the level of significance is the probability to reject the null hypothesis given that the null hypothesis is true. It is also the complement of the level of confidence. So, if we create a 98% confidence interval, the level of confidence $1-\alpha$ is equal to 98%

It means the the level of significance $\alpha$ is:

$\alpha =1-0.98=0.02$

Divide R300 000 between Leona and Janet in the ratio 3:2.

ella [17]

Answer:

let the ratio be in x 

a/q. 3x + 2x = 300000

 5x = 300000

x = 300000/5

x= 60000

Leona = 60000*3 = 180000

Janet = 60000*2 = 120000

hope it helps
