Answer: 1) 1/2 students like to go to action movies,

2) 2/5 students like to go to action and comedies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of students are x,

Thus, the number of students who like to go movies = 3/4 of total students = \frac{3x}{4}

The number of students who like to go action movies = 2/3 of students who like to go movies = 2/3 of 3x/4 = \frac{6x}{12} = x/2

Hence, the total fraction of students who like to go action movies = Number of students who like to go action movies / Total students

= \frac{x/2}{x}

= 1/2

Now, the number of student who like to go comedy movie = 4/5 of the students who like to go action movies

= 4/5 of x/2

= \frac{4x}{10}

= \frac{2x}{5}

Hence, the fraction of students who like to go comedy movies

=  Total students who like comedies/ Total students

= \frac{2x/5}{x}

= 2/5

Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

The process of solving this problem is as follows:

Students who like action movies: 3/4*2/3 = 1/2 of the fifth grade class students
Students who like comedies: 1/2*4/5 = 2/5 of the fifth grade class students

Assume that a hypothesis test of the given claim will be conducted. Identify the type I or type II error for the test. A consume
Ivan

Answer:

Type I error: Concluding that mean mileage is less than 32 miles per hour when actually it is greater than or equal to 32 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Hypothesis:

Mean mileage for the Carter Motor​ Company's new sedan

We can design the null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis as:

H_{0}: \mu \geq 32\text{ miles per gallon}\\H_A: \mu < 32\text{ miles per gallon}

Type I error:

  • It is the false positive error.
  • It is the error of rejection a true hypothesis.

Type II error:

  • It is the false negative error.
  • It is the non rejection of a false null hypothesis.

Thus, type I error for the given hypothesis is concluding that mean mileage is less than 32 miles per hour when actually it is greater than or equal to 32 miles per gallon.

Type II error would be concluding that mean mileage is greater than or equal to 32 miles per gallon when actually it is less than 32 miles per gallon.

A triangular prism is 4 millimeters long. It has a triangular face with a base of 13 millimeters. The volume of the prism is 416
muminat

Answer:

16 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Length of the Triangular Prism=4 millimeters
  • Base Length of One Triangular Face=13 millimeters.
  • Volume of the Prism =416 cubic millimeters.

Now:

Volume of a Prism=Base Area X Prism Length

Since we have a triangular base:

Volume of the Prism=(0.5 X Base X Height) X Prism Length

Substituting the given values, we obtain:

416=(0.5 X 13 X Height) X 4

416=26 X Height

Divide both sides by 26

Height of its triangular face=16 millimeters
