If you looks at the well drawn picture that I drew, you'll notice that we notice that we can use the trigonometric ratio tan; in this case:

tan58=\frac{10}{x}
Solving this, we get:
x=\frac{10}{tan58}
Which gets us that x=6.25 (approximately)

(It really wasn't that great of a picture but still :D)

Let n1equals50​, Upper X 1equals30​, n2equals50​, and Upper X 2equals10. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below. a. At the 0.05 leve
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

z=\frac{0.6-0.2}{\sqrt{0.4(1-0.4)(\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{50})}}=4.082    

p_v =2*P(Z>4.082)=4.46x10^{-5}  

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05 always p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion 1 is significantly different from proportion 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

X_{1}=30 represent the number of people with a characteristic in 1

X_{2}=10 represent the number of people with a characteristic in 2

n_{1}=50 sample of 1 selected  

n_{2}=50 sample of 2 selected  

p_{1}=\frac{30}{50}=0.6 represent the proportion of people with a characteristic in 1

p_{2}=\frac{10}{50}=0.2 represent the proportion of people with a characteristic in 2

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the proportion 1 is different from proportion 2 , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{30+10}{50+50}=0.4  

3) Calculate the statistic  

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:  

z=\frac{0.6-0.2}{\sqrt{0.4(1-0.4)(\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{50})}}=4.082    

4) Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided \alpha, but we can calculate the p value for this test.    

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z>4.082)=4.46x10^{-5}  

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05 always p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion 1 is significantly different from proportion 2.

How to do this question plz ​
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The answer is yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is substitute the y, which is 5, and the x, which is 2, into the equation. When you solve it the answer in the end will be 5=5, which means that point (2,5) does line on that line.

In a right triangle ABC, CD is an altitude, such that AD=BC. Find AC, if AB=3 cm, and CD= 2 cm.
konstantin123 [22]

Consider right triangle ΔABC with legs AC and BC and hypotenuse AB. Draw the altitude CD.

1. Theorem: The length of each leg of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to that leg.

According to this theorem,

BC^2=BD\cdot AB.

Let BC=x cm, then AD=BC=x cm and BD=AB-AD=3-x cm. Then

x^2=(3-x)\cdot 3,\\ \\x^2=9-3x,\\ \\x^2+3x-9=0,\\ \\D=3^2-4\cdot (-9)=9+36=45,\\ \\\sqrt{D}=\sqrt{45}=3\sqrt{5},\\ \\x_1=\dfrac{-3-3\sqrt{5} }{2}0.

Take positive value x. You get

AD=BC=\dfrac{-3+3\sqrt{5} }{2}\ cm.

2. According to the previous theorem,

AC^2=AD\cdot AB.

Then

AC^2=\dfrac{-3+3\sqrt{5} }{2}\cdot 3=\dfrac{-9+9\sqrt{5} }{2},\\ \\AC=\sqrt{\dfrac{-9+9\sqrt{5} }{2}}\ cm.

Answer: AC=\sqrt{\dfrac{-9+9\sqrt{5} }{2}}\ cm.

This solution doesn't need CD=2 cm. Note that if AB=3cm and CD=2cm, then

CD^2=AD\cdot DB,\\ \\2^2=AD\cdot (3-AD),\\ \\AD^2-3AD+4=0,\\ \\D

This means that you cannot find solutions of this equation. Then CD≠2 cm.
