Two acute triangles are similar. Which of the following must the similar triangle have?

B is the only one that makes sense if you break them each down. An Acute doesnt have every Pair of angles congruent, the don't have to have proportional side lengths, and it can't have a right angle or it would be a right triangle.

Answer:

The correct answer is C). congruent corresponding angles and proportional side lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar Triangles : The two triangles are said to be similar to each other if their all corresponding angles are congruent to each other and the corresponding sides are proportional to each other.

Now, Given that two acute triangles are similar.

So, By using the definition of similarity of two triangles

We can conclude that :

All the corresponding angles of the acute triangles will be congruent to each other.

Also, The sides of both the acute triangles will be proportional to each other.

Therefore, The correct answer is C). congruent corresponding angles and proportional side lengths

Answer:

1/3
y-axis
(1, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length AC is 3, but the corresponding length FD is 1, so the dilation factor is FD/AC = 1/3.

The reflection is a left/right reflection, so it is across a vertical line. We suspect the only vertical line you are interested in is the y-axis. (It could be reflected across x=1/2, and then the only translation would be downward.)

The above transformations will put C' at (1, 0). Since the corresponding point D is at (2, -2), we know it is C' is translated by (1, -2) to get to D.

C' + translation = D

(1, 0) +(1, -2) = (2, -2)

The dwarves of the Grey Mountains wish to conduct a survey of their pick-axes in order to construct a 99% confidence interval ab

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The minimum sample size needed is 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

For this problem, we have that:

$\pi = 0.25$

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

What minimum sample size would be necessary in order ensure a margin of error of 10 percentage points (or less) if they use the prior estimate that 25 percent of the pick-axes are in need of repair?

This minimum sample size is n.

n is found when $M = 0.1$

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.1 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75}{n}}$

$0.1\sqrt{n} = 2.575{0.25*0.75}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575{0.25*0.75}}{0.1}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575{0.25*0.75}}{0.1})^{2}$

$n = 124.32$

Rounding up

The minimum sample size needed is 125.

The probability that your call to a service line is answered in less than 30 seconds is 0.75. Assume that your calls are indepen

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a) 0.2581

b) 0.4148

c) 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are answered in less than 30 seconds. Or they are not. The probabilities for each call are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.75$

a. If you call 12 times, what is the probability that exactly 9 of your calls are answered within 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X = 9)$ when $n = 12$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.75)^{9}.(0.25)^{3} = 0.2581$

b. If you call 20 times, what is the probability that at least 16 calls are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X \geq 16)$ when $n = 20$
