On this picture is shown a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle and by the Inscribed Quadrilateral Theorem the angles on the opposite vertices are supplementary, or in other words are equals to 180 degrees.

On this exercise it is asked to find the measure of angle B, First of all, you need to find the value of x. To so you have to select two opposite angles on this case angles A and C.

m<A+m<C=180 Substitute the given values for angles A and C
x+2+x-2=180 Combine like terms
2x=180 Divide by 2 in both sides to isolate x
x=90

Now, that the value of x is known you can substitute it in the expression representing angle D, and then subtract that number from 180 to find the measure of angle B.

m<D=x-10 Substitute the value of x
m<D=90-10 Combine like terms
m<D=80

m<B=180-m<D Substitute the value of angle D
m<B=180-80 Combine like terms
m<B=100

The measure of angle B is 100 degrees, and the value of x is 90.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can apply Pythagoras' Theorem.

$\begin{array}{rcc}a^{2} & = & b^{2} + c^{2}\\13^{2}& = & 5^{2} + c^{2}\\169& = & 25 + c^{2}\\c^{2}& = & 144\\c & = & \sqrt{144}\\& = & \mathbf{12}\\\end{array}\\\text{The other leg of the triangle is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{12}}$}$

Experian would like to test the hypothesis that the average credit score for an adult in Virginia is different from the average

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

a. We fail to reject the hypothesis that the average credit score for an adult in Virginia is different from the average credit score for an adult in North Carolina at the significance level of 0.05.

b. The 95% confidence interval for the true difference of means is -2.2468 and 36.2468. There is a probability of 95% that the true difference of means $\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}$ is between -2.2468 and 36.2468. This confidence interval contains the number 0, this is consistent with the results we got in a. Because we fail to reject the hypothesis that the average credit score for an adult in Virginia is different from the average credit score for an adult in North Carolina at the significance level of 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}$ be the true difference between the average credit score for an adult in Virginia and the average credit score for an adult in North Carolina. We have the large sample sizes $n_{1} = 40$ and $n_{2} = 35$ , the unbiased point estimate for $\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}$ is $\bar{x}_{1} - \bar{x}_{2}$ , i.e., 699-682 = 17.

The standard error is given by $\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}}$ , i.e.,

$\sqrt{\frac{(44)^{2}}{40}+\frac{(41)^{2}}{35}}$ = 9.8198.

a. We want to test $H_{0}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} = 0$ vs $H_{1}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} \neq 0$ (two-tailed alternative). The rejection region is given by RR = {z | z < -1.96 or z > 1.96} where -1.96 and 1.96 are the 2.5th and 97.5th quantiles of the standard normal distribution respectively. The test statistic is $Z = \frac{\bar{x}_{1} - \bar{x}_{2}-0}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}}}$ and the observed value is $z_{0} = \frac{17}{9.8198} = 1.7312$ . Because 1.7312 does not fall inside RR, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

b. The endpoints for a 95% confidence interval for $\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}$ is given by $17\pm (z_{0.05/2})9.8198$ , i.e., $17\pm (z_{0.025})9.8198$ where $z_{0.025}$ is the 2.5th quantile of the standard normal distribution, i.e., -1.96, so, we have 17-(1.96)(9.8198) and 17+(1.96)(9.8198), i.e., -2.2468 and 36.2468. There is a probability of 95% that the true difference of means $\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}$ is between -2.2468 and 36.2468. This confidence interval contains the number 0, this is consistent with the results we got in a. Because we fail to reject the hypothesis that the average credit score for an adult in Virginia is different from the average credit score for an adult in North Carolina at the significance level of 0.05.
