For this case what we should observe is that we have a rectangle triangle where we know:
 Angle.
 Hypotenuse.
 We want to know:
 opposite cateto
 Adjacent cateto
 We apply the following trigonometric formulas:
 Sine (x) = C.O / h
 Cosine (x) = C.A / h
 Where,
 x: angle
 C.O: opposite leg
 C.A: adjacent leg
 h: hypotenuse
 Substituting values:
 Sine (60) = C.O / 0.5
 Cosine (60) = C.A / 0.5
 Clearing:
 C.O = 0.5 * Sine (60) = 0.43
 C.A = 0.5 * Cosine (60) = 0.25
 Then, adding both sides we have:
 C.O + C.A = 0.43 + 0.25 = 0.68 miles
 Answer:
 
you now woluld have to sail:
 
a.
 
0.68 miles

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

AB/BC = AD/DE

\frac{2}{1} = \frac{2+x}{2}

cross-multiply:

2+x = 4

Round off 174 to the nearest hundred​
shepuryov [24]

Answer: 200

Step-by-step explanation:

174 rounded to the nearest hundred is:

200

When rounding to the nearest hundred, like we did with 174 above, we use the following rules:

A) We round the number up to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 50 or above.

B) We round the number down to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 49 or below.

C) If the last two digits are 00, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the hundred.

A medical researcher wondered if there is a significant difference between the mean birth weight of boy and girl babies. Random
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

b) independent samples t-test

t=\frac{(5.92 -5.74)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{1.88^2}{5}}+\frac{1.81^2}{5}}=0.154  

p_v =2*P(t_{8}>0.154) =0.881  

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the mean of the group 1 (boys) is NOT significantly different than the mean for the group 2 (Girls).  

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of hypothesis on this case are:  

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 = \mu_2  

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_1 \neq \mu_2  

Or equivalently:  

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0  

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_1 -\mu_2\neq 0  

Our notation on this case :  

n_1 =5 represent the sample size for group 1  

n_2 =5 represent the sample size for group 2  

We can calculate the mean and deviation for eaach group with the following formulas:

\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

\bar X_1 =5.92 represent the sample mean for the group 1  

\bar X_2 =5.74 represent the sample mean for the group 2  

s_1=1.88 represent the sample standard deviation for group 1  

s_2=1.81 represent the sample standard deviation for group 2  

If we see the alternative hypothesis we see that we are conducting a bilateral test and with independnet samples t test.

b) independent samples t-test

The statistic is given by this formula:  

t=\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}}+\frac{S^2_2}{n_2}}  

And now we can calculate the statistic:  

t=\frac{(5.92 -5.74)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{1.88^2}{5}}+\frac{1.81^2}{5}}=0.154  

The degrees of freedom are given by:  

df=5+5-2=8

And now we can calculate the p value using the altenative hypothesis:  

p_v =2*P(t_{8}>0.154) =0.881  

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the mean of the group 1 (boys) is NOT significantly different than the mean for the group 2 (Girls).
