Given Angle 1 = Angle 2, find x.
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ∠ 1 = ∠ 2 then the segment is an angle bisector and the ratios of sides to base are equal, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
x(x - 4) = 12 ← distribute left side
x² - 4x = 12 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
x² - 4x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
However, x > 0 , thus x = 6

Answer:
Since the calculated t= 7.8120 falls in the critical region ≥ 2.306 we reject H0 and conclude that there is a linear correlation between the two variables.
Step-by-step explanation:
We see that r²= 0.981 and r= 0.995 from the figure .
The P- value is less than 0.05 which indicates that the two variables are linearly correlated.
Set up the hypothesis as
H0: β= 0 i.e the two variables X and Y are not related
Ha: β≠0 i.e the two variables are related
The significance Level is set at ∝=0.05
The test statistic , if H0 is true is
t= b/sb
where sb² = s²yx / ∑( x-x`)² = ∑( y-y`)²/n-2 ∑( x-x`)²
assuming that the distribution of Yi for each Xi is normal with the same mean and the same standard deviation , the statistic t conforms to the Student's t distribution with n-2= 8 degrees of freedom

Sum of X = 3877
Sum of Y = 3991
Mean X = 387.7
Mean Y = 399.1
Sum of squares (SSX) = 32646.1
Sum of products (SP) = 32797.3
b = SP/SSX = 32797.3/32646.1 = 1.00463
a = Y` - bX `= 399.1 - (1*387.7) = 9.60437
Syx= √∑(y-y`)²/n-2= 33,586.9/8= 4198.3625
sb= syx/ √∑(x-x`)²=4198.3625/32646.1 =0.12860
Putting the values in the regression equation
ŷ = bX + a
ŷ = 1.00463X + 9.60437
The critical region is t ≥ t (0.025) (8)= 2.306
t= b/ sb= 1.00463/ 0.12860=7.8120
Since the calculated t= 7.8120 falls in the critical region ≥ 2.306 we reject H0 and conclude that there is a linear correlation between the two variables.
