What is postulate in geometry

2 answers:

5 0

A postulate is basically a hypothesis. In other words, it's a very strong statement. Typically when we think about a postulate we also call it an axiom. An axiom is typically something that needs no proof. For example, between two points there is a line. Well obviously if I draw two points on a paper and connect them it creates a line.

A postulate is similar in that it's a statement that I don't need to prove because it's so obvious. But as you get farther and farther into geometry in particular, those postulates becomes less obvious so you still need to understand how to prove them.

A statement also know as an axiom which is taken to be true without proof.

X, Y, and Z are collinear and Y is between X and Z. If XY = 3x – 1, YZ = 5, and XZ = 5x – 8,

salantis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

XY = 3x – 1, YZ = 5, and XZ = 5x – 8,

We know that XY + YZ = XZ, so

3x - 1 + 5 = 5x - 8

3x + 4 = 5x - 8

3x + 12 = 5x

12 = 2x

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Selena is correct because she simplified correctly and then evaluated correctly after substituting the values for the variables.

I did this lesson i asked my teacher to help me but i did this problem on my own so i hope its right :)

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

the answer is 9,900

Step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 20 times 45. 20 for the cost of adults and 45 for how many adults. and then you mulitpy 600 times 15 because children cost 15 dollars and their was 600 children. and then you add both up to get 9,900

Construct a 98% confidence interval to determine whether there is any difference between the mean drug concentration in tablets

inna [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given two sites;

Site one: 91.28 , 92.83, 89.35, 91.90 82.85, 94.83, 89.83, 89.00, 84.62, 86.96, 88.32, 91.17, 83.86, 89.74, 92.24, 92.59, 84.21, 89.36, 90.96, 92.85, 89.39, 89.82, 89.91, 92.16, 88.67.

=> The mean = add up all the numbers/ the total numbers (which is 25). = 89.55.

=> The standard deviation = 3.005

SITE TWO: 89.35 86.51 89.04 91.82 93.02 88.32 88.76 89.26 90.36 87.16 91.74 86.12 92.10 83.33 87.61 88.20 92.78 86.35 93.84 91.20 93.44 86.77 83.77 93.19 81.79.

=> The mean= add up all the numbers/ the total numbers (which is 25). = 89.033.

=> Standard deviation = 3.271.

NB: the assumption here is that the variance for both sites are the same.

STEP ONE: DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF FREEDOM AND THE CRITICAL VALUE.

The degree of freedom =( mean of site 1 ) + (mean of site 2) - 2 = (25 + 25) − 2 = 48.

Since the degree of freedom is 48, Recall that the value for alpha given = 0.02. Then, the critical value = 2.407.

STEP TWO: DETERMINE THE STANDARD DEVIATION AND THE STANDARD ERROR FOR BOTH.

Therefore, the standard deviation = √[( 25 - 1) × 3.005^2 + (25 -1) × 3.271^2) ÷ (25 +25 - 2) ] = 3.14.

Also, the standard error = standard deviation × ( √(1/ mean 1 + 1/mean 2) ..

Standard error = 3.14 × [ ✓( 1/25 + 1/25)] = 0.89.

STEP THREE: DETERMINE THE CONFIDENCE INTERVAL.

confidence interval = (89.548 - 89.033 - 2.41 × 0.89, 89.548 - 89.033 + 2.41 × 0.89) = (- 1.62, 2.65).

STEP FOUR: THE HYPOTHESES.

=> THE TWO TAILED TEST.

Jo:μ1 = μ2.

Ja: μ1 ≠ μ2.

Thus, the rejected region is {t : ∣ t ∣ > 2.7}

As critical value = 2.7 for the degree of freedom which is 48 and α=0.01.

If we do the t - test for this,.we will have;

(89.548 - 89.003)÷ ( standard deviation × √ ( 1/25 + 1/25). = 0.58.

So,from our t - value, is less or equals to the critical value, therefore, the null hypothesis is not rejected.

Also, from the p-value table which gives p=0.565. The p- value is greater than or equal to the alpha value(0.01). therefore, the null hypothesis is not rejected.

We are not going to reject the null hypothesis because the information gathered is not enough.
