Answer: 6.7 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is equal to side(side), but is also equal to 1/2(apothem)(perimeter).

The apothem is the perpendicular distance from the center of the square to the midpoint of its side.

We can use these formulas to find the apothem and use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse (slant height).

Area of square = 9(9) = 81

Area of square = 1/2(apothem)(perimeter)

Perimeter = 4(9) = 36

81 = 1/2(apothem)(36)

162 = apothem(36)

apothem = 4.5

Pythagorean theorem: $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

Plug the apothem and the given height into the equation:

$4.5^{2} + 5^{2} = x^{2}$ (x being the slant height)

20.25 + 25 = $x^{2}$

x = $\sqrt{45.25}$

x ≈ 6.7

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

C: 8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

1 in = 2.54 cm

l = 20.32 × 1/2.54

l = 8.00 in

The length of Nancy’s mirror is 8.00 in.

When a scientist conducted a genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 943 peas, with 717 of them hav

pshichka [43]

Using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution, it is found that:

a) 0.242 = 24.2% probability of getting 717 or more peas with red flowers.

b) Since Z < 2, 717 peas with red flowers is not significantly high.

c) Since 717 peas with red flowers is not a significantly high result, we cannot conclude that the scientist's assumption is wrong.

For each pea, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a red flower, or they do not. The probability of a pea having a red flower is independent of any other pea, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial distribution:

Probability of x successes on n trials, with p probability.

Normal distribution:

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

If Z > 2, the result is considered <u>significantly high</u>.

If $np \geq 10$ and $n(1-p) \geq 10$ , the binomial distribution can be approximated to the normal with:

$\mu = np$

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

In this problem:

943 peas, thus, $n = 943$
3/4 probability of being red, thus $p = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75$ .

Applying the approximation:

$\mu = np = 943(0.75) = 707.25$

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{943(0.75)(0.25)} = 13.297$

Item a:

Using continuity correction, this probability is $P(X \geq 717 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 716.5)$ , which is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 716.5</u>.

Then:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{716.5 - 707.25}{13.297}$

$Z = 0.7$

$Z = 0.7$ has a p-value of 0.758.

1 - 0.758 = 0.242

0.242 = 24.2% probability of getting 717 or more peas with red flowers.

Item b:

Since Z < 2, 717 peas with red flowers is not significantly high.

Item c:

Since 717 peas with red flowers is not a significantly high result, we cannot conclude that the scientist's assumption is wrong.
