Short leg = x-6m
Longer leg =x
Hypotenuse = x+6m

x² + (x-6)² =(x+6)²
x² + x²-12x+36 = x²+12x+36
2x²-12x+36= x² +12x+36
2x²-12x+36-36= x² +12x+36-36
2x² - 12x-12x = x²+12x-12x
2x² -24x-x² = x²-x²
x² -24x = 0
x(x-24)=0
x = 24

Short leg = 24-6m = 18
Longer leg =24
Hypotenuse = 24+6m=30

Check
a² + b² = c²
18² +24² =30²
324 +576 = 900
900=900

The following probability distributions of job satisfaction scores for a sample of information systems (IS) senior executives an
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate ;

1) the expected value of the job satisfaction score for senior executives ;

expected value = Summation (Px)

= 1 x 0.05 + 2 x 0.09 + 3 x 0.03 + 4 x 0.42 + 5 x 0.41

= 4.05

2) the expected value of the job satisfaction score for middle managers;

= 1 x 0.04 + 2 x 0.10 + 3 x 0.12 + 4 x 0.46 + 5 x 0.28

= 3.84

c) the variance of job satisfaction scores for executives and middle managers (to 2 decimals).

Executives ; Variance = Summation(PX^2 - Summation(PX)^2

i) For Executive Managers = 1 x 0.05 + 2^2 x 0.09 + 3^2 x 0.03 + 4^2 x 0.42 + 5^2 x 0.41 - 4.05^2 = 1.246 = 1.25

ii) for middle managers ; 1 x 0.04 + 2^2 x 0.10 + 3^2 x 0.12 + 4^2 x 0.46 + 5^2 x 0.28 - 3.84^2 = 1.134 = 1.13

d) the standard deviation of job satisfaction scores for both probability distributions (to 2 decimals). Executives, Middle managers;

For Executives = square root [ 1 x 0.05 + 2^2 x 0.09 + 3^2 x 0.03 + 4^2 x 0.42 + 5^2 x 0.41 - 4.05^2] = 1.12

For Middle Managers ; Square root [1 x 0.04 + 2^2 x 0.10 + 3^2 x 0.12 + 4^2 x 0.46 + 5^2 x 0.28 - 3.84^2 ] = 1.06

e) from the values gotten for the variance of both executive and middle managers, the variance of the former is more than that of the latter as such higher satisfaction with the executive managers.

Describe how to draw a line that passes through the origin and has a slope of -2/3
Bas_tet [7]
Place a dot on the origin.
A line that has a slope of \frac{-2}{3} goes by this formula:
\frac{rise}{run}
So "rise -2" and "run 3."
Rise -2 is basically go down 2, so go down 2 units from the origin. Run 3 means go right 3 units from (0, -2).
Draw a line through (3, -2) and (0, 0).
