A triangle has base 7m and area 17.5 m squared what is the height

1 answer:

4 0

To find the area of a triangle, the formula is

$\frac{1}{2} (b)(h)$ =A

Since you have the area and the base you can replace the variables and place the numbers into its place.

17.5 = $\frac{1}{2} (7)(h)$

From here you need to solve for h by first multiplying the (1/2) and 7 which would equal 7/2 or 3.5

Then you would have

17.5 = 3.5(h)

Now you divide both sides by 3.5 which would make h equal to

h=5

Double check and do
$\frac{1}{2} (7)(5)$

which would equal to

$\frac{1}{2} (35)$

All of that equals to 17.5, which is the correct answer so the height is 5m.

Standard Error from a Formula and a Bootstrap Distribution Sample A has a count of 30 successes with and Sample B has a count of

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Using a formula, the standard error is: 0.052

Using bootstrap, the standard error is: 0.050

Comparison:

The calculated standard error using the formula is greater than the standard error using bootstrap

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sample A Sample B

$x_A = 30$ $x_B = 50$

$n_A = 100$ $n_B =250$

Solving (a): Standard error using formula

First, calculate the proportion of A

$p_A = \frac{x_A}{n_A}$

$p_A = \frac{30}{100}$

$p_A = 0.30$

The proportion of B

$p_B = \frac{x_B}{n_B}$

$p_B = \frac{50}{250}$

$p_B = 0.20$

The standard error is:

$SE_{p_A-p_B} = \sqrt{\frac{p_A * (1 - p_A)}{n_A} + \frac{p_A * (1 - p_B)}{n_B}}$

$SE_{p_A-p_B} = \sqrt{\frac{0.30 * (1 - 0.30)}{100} + \frac{0.20* (1 - 0.20)}{250}}$

$SE_{p_A-p_B} = \sqrt{\frac{0.30 * 0.70}{100} + \frac{0.20* 0.80}{250}}$

$SE_{p_A-p_B} = \sqrt{\frac{0.21}{100} + \frac{0.16}{250}}$

$SE_{p_A-p_B} = \sqrt{0.0021+ 0.00064}$

$SE_{p_A-p_B} = \sqrt{0.00274}$

$SE_{p_A-p_B} = 0.052$

Solving (a): Standard error using bootstrapping.
