Answer:

△ABC and △DEF are similar by SAS Similarity Theorem.

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of SAS Similarity property

Two triangles are said to be similar by SAS Similarity property If two sides are proportional and one corresponding angle congruent .

In △ABC and △DEF

$\frac{ED}{AB}= \frac{7}{21}$

$\frac{ED}{AB}= \frac{1}{3}$

and

$\frac{EF}{BC}= \frac{11}{33}$

$\frac{EF}{BC}= \frac{1}{3}$

Thus

$\frac{ED}{AB}=\frac{EF}{BC}= \frac{1}{3}$

∠ABC = ∠DEF (As given in the figure )

Thus △ABC and △DEF are similar by SAS Similarity property .

What is the value of x in the following equation?<br> 4r +6<br> + 3 = -6<br> -6<br> -3

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(4 x + 6)/2 + 3 = -6

Hint: | Put the fractions in (4 x + 6)/2 + 3 over a common denominator.

Put each term in (4 x + 6)/2 + 3 over the common denominator 2: (4 x + 6)/2 + 3 = 6/2 + (4 x + 6)/2:

6/2 + (4 x + 6)/2 = -6

Hint: | Combine 6/2 + (4 x + 6)/2 into a single fraction.

6/2 + (4 x + 6)/2 = ((4 x + 6) + 6)/2:

(4 x + 6 + 6)/2 = -6

Hint: | Add the numbers in 4 x + 6 + 6 together.

Add like terms. 6 + 6 = 12:

(4 x + 12)/2 = -6

Hint: | Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Multiply both sides of (4 x + 12)/2 = -6 by 2:

(2 (4 x + 12))/2 = -6×2

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (2 (4 x + 12))/2.

(2 (4 x + 12))/2 = 2/2×(4 x + 12) = 4 x + 12:

4 x + 12 = -6×2

Hint: | Multiply 2 and -6 together.

2 (-6) = -12:

4 x + 12 = -12

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 12 from both sides:

4 x + (12 - 12) = -12 - 12

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

12 - 12 = 0:

4 x = -12 - 12

Hint: | Evaluate -12 - 12.

-12 - 12 = -24:

4 x = -24

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 4 x = -24 by 4:

(4 x)/4 = (-24)/4

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

4/4 = 1:

x = (-24)/4

Hint: | Reduce (-24)/4 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -24 and 4.

The gcd of -24 and 4 is 4, so (-24)/4 = (4 (-6))/(4×1) = 4/4×-6 = -6:

EU (European Union) countries report that 46% of their labor force is female. The United Nations wants to determine if the perce

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

b. We are 95% confident that between 35.5% and 44.3% of the persons in the U.S. labor force is female.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=500 represent the random sample taken

X represent the number of females in the U.S. labor force

$\hat p=0.46$ estimated proportion of females in the U.S. labor force

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)

z would represent the statistic

p= population proportion of females in the U.S. labor force

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.46 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.46(1-0.46)}{500}}=0.416$

$0.46 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.46(1-0.46)}{500}}=0.504$

On this case the calculated interval is not the given , but let's assume that the confidence interval is given by the statment: "United States Department of Labor find that 95% confidence interval for the proportion of females in the U.S. labor force is .357 to .443."

3) Correct interpretation

a. The margin of error for the true percentage of females in the U.S. labor force is between 35.7% and 44.3%.

False the confidence interval not conclude about the margin of error conclude about the true proportion.

b. We are 95% confident that between 35.5% and 44.3% of the persons in the U.S. labor force is female.

True, the statement report the confidence level and the limits for the margin of error.

c. The percentage of females in the U.S. labro force is between 35.7% and 44.3%.

False, The statement is not correct because not reports the confidence level.

d. All sample of size 500 will yield a percentage of females in the U.S. labor force that falls within 35.7% and 44.3%

False the confidence interval is for the population proportion not just for the samples of size 500

e. None of these.

False, we have an option that is true.
