A^2+b^2=c^2

(10.1)^2+(12.2)^2=c^2
102.01+148.84=c^2
250.85=c^2
15.8=c

Hypotenuse is approx 15.8 inches

Answer:

The approximate length of the hypotenuse is $15.8\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle

The Pythagoras Theorem states that

$c^{2} =a^{2}+b^{2}$

where

c is the hypotenuse (greater side)

a,b are the legs

In this problem we have

$a=10.1\ in$

$b=12.2\ in$

substitute

$c^{2} =10.1^{2}+12.2^{2}$

$c^{2} =250.85$

$c=15.8\ in$

The Pew Research Center reported that 73% of Americans who own a cell phone also use text messaging. In a recent local survey, 1

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.775 -0.73}{\sqrt{\frac{0.73(1-0.73)}{200}}}=1.433$

Now we can find the p value. Since we have a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z>1.433)=0.152$

Since the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and the best conclusion for this case would be:

Do Not reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n=200 represent the sample size slected

X=155 represent the cell phone owners used text messaging

$\hat p=\frac{155}{200}=0.775$ estimated proportion of cell phone owners used text messaging

$p_o=0.73$ is the value to verify

$\alpha=0.1$ represent the significance level

We need to conduct a z test for a proportion

z would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to verify if the true proportion of cell phone owners used text messaging is different from 0.73 so then the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: $p=0.73$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.73$

The statistic to check this hypothesis is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing the data given we got:

$z=\frac{0.775 -0.73}{\sqrt{\frac{0.73(1-0.73)}{200}}}=1.433$

Now we can find the p value. Since we have a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z>1.433)=0.152$

Since the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and the best conclusion for this case would be:

Do Not reject H0

The equation y=my+b is the slope- intercept form of a linear equation solve y=mc+b for m

SVEN [57.7K]

We need to leave m alone on the right hand side, so let's move everything else to the left hand side.

First of all, we can subtract b from both sides to get

$y-b = mc$
