A 6-ft ladder is placed against a wall with its base 2 ft from the wall. How high above the ground is the top of the ladder

1 answer:

4 0

Use pythagorean theorem - a^2+ b^2 = c^2
a = 2ft, b = ?, c = 6ft
2 x 2 + b^2 = 6 x 6
4 + b^2 = 36
b^2 = 36 - 4 = 32
b = square root of 32
= 5.66ft

Levart [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing the sample size in a particular study will bring about a decrease in the standard deviations of the means.

A decrease in the sample size for a particular study will bring about an increase in the standard deviations of the means.

Whereas the population mean of the distribution of sample means is the same as the population mean of the distribution being sampled from meaning that the population of the distribution of sample means never changes.
