The distance of Erika from kite directly is 35.71 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the given situation as a right triangle with string as hypotenuse and the distance between both girls as base

So,

$h = 50\ yards\\b = 35\ yards$

As the triangle is a right triangle, we can use pythagoras theorem to solve this problem.

$h^2 = b^2 + p^2\\p^2 = h^2 - b^2\\p^2 = (50)^2 - (35)^2\\p^2 = 2500-1225\\p^2 = 1275\\\sqrt{p^2} = \sqrt{1275}\\p = 35.707\ yards$

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

=> 35.71 yards

Hence,

The distance of Erika from kite directly is 35.71 yards

ΔPQR has angle measurements of 80°, 50°, and 50°. What kind of triangle is ΔPQR?

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Isosceles Triangle; Acute Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Review your definitions of the different types of triangles:

acute triangle- a triangle that has three acute (less than 90 degrees) angles

obtuse triangle- a triangle that has an obtuse (greater than 90 degrees) angle.

right triangle- a triangle that had one right (90 degrees) angles

isosceles triangle- a triangle with two congruent sides and one unique side and angle.

equilateral triangle- a triangle with three congruent sides and three congruent angles.

scalene triangle- a triangle with no congruent sides and no congruent angles.

With these definitions, we can classify ΔPQR as an isosceles acute triangle.

According to a recent survey, the population distribution of number of years of education for self-employed individuals in a c

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a) X: number of years of education

b) Sample mean = 13.5, Sample standard deviation = 0.4

c) Sample mean = 13.5, Sample standard deviation = 0.2

d) Decrease the sample standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mean, μ = 13.5 years

Standard deviation,σ = 2.8 years

a) random variable X

X: number of years of education

Central limit theorem:

If large random samples are drawn from population with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , then the distribution of sample mean will be normally distributed with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

b) mean and the standard for a random sample of size 49

$\mu_{\bar{x}} = \mu = 13.5\\\\\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{2.8}{\sqrt{49}} = 0.4$

c) mean and the standard for a random sample of size 196

$\mu_{\bar{x}} = \mu = 13.5\\\\\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{2.8}{\sqrt{196}} = 0.2$

d) Effect of increasing n

As the sample size increases, the standard error that is the sample standard deviation decreases. Thus, quadrupling sample size will half the standard deviation.

It’s really confusing, I could really use some guidance.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equal each of the values on the table, and find the value of the function for that value of x.

f(x) = 5x - 5

x = -4

f(-4) = 5(-4) - 5

f(-4) = -20 - 5

f(-4) = -25

x = 0

f(0) = 5(0) - 5

f(0) = 0 - 5

f(0) = -5

x = 1

f(1) = 5(1) - 5

f(1) = 5 - 5

f(1) = 0

x = 3

f(3) = 5(3) - 5

f(3) = 15 - 5

f(3) = 10

x = 5

f(5) = 5(5) - 5

f(5) = 25 - 5

f(5) = 20

x f(x)
