Can someone help please

determine if each polygons are similar, if so, write the similarity statement and the similarity ratio. if not explain why.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

They are not similar

Step-by-step Explanation:

For two polygons to be considered similar, two conditions must be met:

1. The ratio of their corresponding sides must be equal, and must have the same scale factor.

2. Their corresponding angles must be the same. That is, the corresponding angles must be congruent.

Now let us examine the two polygons ( ∆AYP and ∆BOX) given to ascertain if they are similar.

First, we can observe that only two of their corresponding sides were given. The third corresponding side, "YP/OX" is not given. This makes it difficult for us to tell if the polygons are similar, if we are to base our conclusion on merely considering the ratio of their corresponding sides.

Although, the two given corresponding sides (AY/BO & AP/BX), both have equal ratio ⅖, i.e. AY/BO = AP/BX = ⅖. This is not enough to tell both polygons are similar, as we cannot tell if the third corresponding side would give us same ratio, since it wasn't given in the diagram.

==>Next is to examine the interior angles of the polygons, whether the measure of their corresponding angles are the same.

Thus, from the diagram, we can see that two angles of the each triangle were given. We can find the measure of the third angle not given since we know that sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°

Thus, <P in ∆AYP = 180 - (90+20) = 180 - 110

<P = 70°

Thus, <B in ∆BOX = 180 - (90+80) = 180 - 170

<B = 10°

From the above calculation, comparing both polygons having known the measures of their corresponding angles, we can conclude that both polygons given in the question are not similar.

This is because the measure of their corresponding angles are not congruent.

<A is not congruent to <B, so likewise with <P and <X.

Crash Hospital Costs. A study was conducts to estimate hospital costs for accident victims who wore seat belts. Twenty randomly

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (5004.168;12603.832)

b) For this case we can use the lower bound for the confidence interval as estimation, on this case 5004.168. But we need to take in count that this value it's with 99% of confidence and 1% of significance and 1% of probability to commit type Error I

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X =9004$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=5629 represent the sample standard deviation

n=20 represent the sample size

2) Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=20-1=19$

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,19)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.86$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$9004-2.86\frac{5629}{\sqrt{20}}=5004.168$

$9004+2.86\frac{5629}{\sqrt{20}}=12603.832$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (5004.168;12603.832)

3) Part b

For this case we can use the lower bound for the confidence interval as estimation, on this case 5004.168. But we need to take in count that this value it's with 99% of confidence and 1% of significance and 1% of probability to commit type Error I
