Answer:

sinC = $\frac{h}{a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the red line is an altitude then the triangles are right, thus

sinC = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{h}{a}$

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\mathrm{\bold{C}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \displaystyle sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

The side opposite to $\angle C$ is h.

The hypotenuse of the smaller right triangle is a.

$\sf \displaystyle sin(C)=\frac{h}{a}$

What is value of x? Enter your answer in the box.

marin [14]

Answer:

$x \ = \ 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let point $D$ be the point where the straight line drawn from point $A$ meets the straight line $BC$ , it is evident that $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle ACD$ is similar given that both triangles share the same angle, $\angle BAD \ = \ \angle DAC$ . Hence, the ratio of the sides of each triangle is the same. Specifically,

$\displaystyle{\frac{x+4}{8} \ = \ \frac{2x+1}{12}}$ .

Performing cross multiplication yields

$12\left(x+4\right) \ = \ 8\left(2x+1\right) \\ \\ \rule{0.15cm}{0cm}12x+48 \ = \ 16x+8 \\ \\ \rule{1.1cm}{0cm} 4x \ = \ 40 \\ \\ \rule{1.3cm}{0cm} x \ = \ 10$ .

In the following hypothetical scenarios, classify each of the specified numbers as a parameter or a statistic.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter is a valuable element of statistical analysis. It denotes the characteristics that are used to define a given population. It is used to define a particular attribute of the population. For instance, population mean, population standard deviation, population proportion and so on.

While making a statistical conclusion about the population under study, the parameter value is unknown. This is because it would not be possible to gather data from every single member of the population. So a sample is selected from the population to derive a conclusion about the parameter.

A statistic is the value of the characteristics that are computed using this sample. For instance, sample mean, sample standard deviation, sample proportion and so on.

(a)

There have been 44 Presidents of the United States, and 36% of them were Democrats. The 36% here is a parameter.

(b)

In a 2015 Gallup poll of 1025 adults living in the United States, 53% said they trust the judicial branch of the federal government. The 53% here is a statistic.

(c)

The survey results from 12 local parks show the mean height of 60 ft for mature oak trees. The mean height of 60 ft is a statistic.

(d)

The 72 employees at ABC company have a mean income of $52,317 with a standard deviation of $36,829. The $36,829 is a parameter.

(e)

In a random sample of homeowners in the United States, it is found that 34% of the sampled homeowners renew their home warranty. The 34% here is a statistic.

What is the probability

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: Last Option

$P=0.4125$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have a uniform probability. In the graph the horizontal axis represents the possible values of the variable x and the vertical axis represents the probability P(x).

To calculate the probability that x is between 4.71 and 7.4 we calculate the area under the curve.

The horizontal length between 4.71 and 7.4 is:

$7.4-4.1 = 3.3$ .
