The question is not well presented and the question also requires an attachment which is missing. See complete question below

Write the ratio of corresponding sides for the similar triangles and reduce the ratio to lowest terms.

a. 12/24 = 18/16 = ½

b. 12/18 = 16/24 = ⅔

c. 12/16 = 18/24 = ¾

d. 18/12 = 24/16 = 3/2

Answer:

c. 12/16 = 18/24 = ¾

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two similar triangles

Required

Ratio of corresponding sides

To solve questions like this, you have to make comparisons between the similar sides of the triangle.

From the attached file,

Side PQ is similar to Side AB

And

Side QR is similar to Side BC

Also from the attached file

PQ = 12 and QR = 18

AB = 16 and BC = 24

Now, the ratio can be calculated.

Ratio = PQ/AB or QR/BC

Ratio = PQ/AB

Ratio = 12/16

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

Ratio = ¾

Ratio = QR/BC

Ratio = 18/24

Divide numerator and denominator by 6

Ratio = ¾.

Combining these results

Ratio = 12/16 = 18/24 = ¾

Hence, option C is correct

Which of the following is a quadratic function?

sp2606 [1]

A is the answer, because the highest exponent is 2.

<u>quadratic</u>

A's expression foiled would be 2x^2 + x - 6

B's expression foiled would be 3x - 12, where the exponent on x is only 1.

D's expression foiled would be x^3 - x^2 - 12x, where the exponent on x is 3.

The difference between your speed is 6 miles per hour: that means that every hour you move 6 miles relative to your friend. But you only need to catch up 3 miles: half of it. So you'll catch up after 30 minutes.

Explain how to perform a two-sample z-test for the difference between two population means using independent samples with

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Z= (X1`-X2`)- (u1-u2)/ $\sqrt{ \frac{ s_1^2}{n_1^2} +\frac{ s_2^2}{n_2}$ (here s1=σ1 and s2= σ2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X1` be the mean of the first random sample of size n1 from a normal population with a mean u1 and known standard deviation σ1.Let X2` be the mean of the second random sample of size n2 from another normal population with a mean u2 and known standard deviation σ2. Then the sampling distribution of the difference X1`-X2` is normally distributed with a mean of u1-u2 and a standard deviation of

$\sqrt{ \frac{ s_1^2}{n_1^2} +\frac{ s_2^2}{n_2}$ . (here s1=σ1 and s2= σ2) In other words the variable

Z= (X1`-X2`)- (u1-u2)/ $\sqrt{ \frac{ s_1^2}{n_1^2} +\frac{ s_2^2}{n_2}$ (here s1=σ1 and s2= σ2)

is exactly standard normal no matter how small sample sizes are . Hence it is used as a test statistic for testing hypotheses about the difference between two population means.

The procedure is stated below.

1) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses.

2) Decide on significance level ∝

3) Use the test statistic Z= (X1`-X2`)- (u1-u2)/ $\sqrt{ \frac{ s_1^2}{n_1^2} +\frac{ s_2^2}{n_2}$ (here s1=σ1 and s2= σ2)

4) Find the rejection region

5)Compute the value of Z from the sample data

6) Rehect H0 if Z falls in the critical region, accept H0 , otherwise.
