Answer:
The height of the equilateral triangle is 24 units
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question above, the unit of the side of the equilateral triangle is not given. If the complete question is:
Triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 square root of 3 units, then the length of each side is 16√3 units.
To find the height of the triangle, we use Pythagoras theorem
MP^2 + PO^2 = MO^2
Let MP^2 be x
x^2 + {(16√3)/2}^2 = (16√3)^2
X^2 + (256*3)/4 = 256*3
4x^2 + 768 = 768* 4
4x^2 + 768 = 3072
4x^2 = 3072-768
4x^2 = 2304
X^2 = 2304/4
X^2 = 576
x= √576
x = 24 units

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>
Let p be the population proportion of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive.
Given : Several years ago, 39% of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive.
Set hypothesis to test :
Sample size : n= 1055
Sample proportion :
Critical value for 95% confidence :
Confidence interval :
Since , Confidence interval does not contain 0.39.
It means we reject the null hypothesis.
We conclude that 95% confidence interval represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.
