Allow ABC to be an equilateral triangle so AB = AC = BC. Let X be the midpoint of BC, AX is the median of BC, and BX = CX. Look at triangles BAX and CAX. Obviously, AX = AX since AB = AC and BX = CX, subsequently by SSS Congruence Test, we have that triangles BAX and CAX are congruent. Therefore, corresponding angles are congruent so <ABX = <ACX. Because <ABX and <ABC are the same angle, they are obviously congruent, and then <ABX = <ABC. Likewise, <ACX and <ACB are the same angles so <ACX = <ACB. Then, <ABC = <ACB. Please note that <ABC = <B and <ACB = <C. Therefore, <B = <C. <span>

<span>At present, disregard AX and let Y be the midpoint of AC. Then BY is the median of AC. Then AY = CY. Evidently, BY = BY.  Because AB = BC, we see that triangles ABY and CBY are congruent by SSS. Then corresponding sames are congruent so <BAY = <BCY. Since <BAY and <BAC are the same angles then <BAY = <BAC. Similarly, <BCY = <BCA since they are the same angles. Then <BAC = <BCA. Note that <BAC = <A and <BCA = <C. Therefore, <A = <C. </span>

<span>Thus, <A = <C = <B. So all the angles are congruent.</span></span>

Angelina_Jolie [31]
If we ask 500 individuals whether they have credit card and if we consider the probability of people having a credit card being normally distributed, then we assume that, considering 30% do not have a credit card, everyone who is within 1SD of the mean will have a credit card, while the remaining ~15% on either tail of the distribution do not.
