Answer:

b. 2-independent sample t-test

Correct for this case is the best test since the result from each group are independent and we can compare the sample means between th two groups

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case the intention is try to test if scores on a test of science achievement differ for female and male 8th grade students. let's analyze the possible options for this case:

a. 2-dependent sample t-test

False is not possible since the nature of the gender is not possible to conclude tha the results from boys and girls are dependent

b. 2-independent sample t-test

Correct for this case is the best test since the result from each group are independent and we can compare the sample means between the two groups

c. Correlation

False we can't compare the means of interest with a correlation coefficient since that's not the purpose of the study

d. 2-way ANOVA

False we have just one variable between two groups so is not possible to apply a 2 way ANOVA

Lincoln went to the grocery store and purchased cans of soup and frozen dinners. Each can of soup has 250 mg of sodium and each
Ludmilka [50]
We can solve with a system of equations, and use c for the amount of cans of soup and f for the amount of frozen dinners.


The first equation will represent the amount of sodium. We know the (sodium in one can times the number of cans) plus (sodium in one frozen dinner times the number of dinners) is the expression for the total sodium. We also know the total sodium is 4450, so:


250c + 550f = 4450


The second equation is to find how many of each item are purchased:


c + f = 13


Solve for c in the second equation:


c = 13 - f


Plug this in for c in the first equation:


250(13-f) + 550f = 4450


3250 - 250f + 550f = 4450


300f = 1200


f = 4


Now plug the value for f into the second equation:


c + 4 = 13


c = 9


The answer is 9 cans of soups and 4 frozen dinners.

There is a triangle with a perimeter of 63 cm, one side of which is 21 cm. Also, one of the medians is perpendicular to one of t
NemiM [27]

Answer:

21cm; 28cm; 14cm

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no info in the problem/s  text which one of the triangle's  side is 21 cm. That is why we have to try all possible variants.

Let the triangle is ABC . Let the AK is the angle A bisector and BM is median.

Let O is AK and BM cross point.

Have a look to triangle ABM.  AO is the bisector and AOB=AOM=90 degrees (means that AO is as bisector as altitude)

=> triangle ABM is isosceles => AB=AM  (1)

1. Let AC=21   So AM=21/2=10.5 cm

So AB=10.5 cm as well.  So BC= P-AB-AC=63-21-10.5=31.5 cm

Such triangle doesn' t exist ( is impossible), because the triangle's inequality doesn't fulfill.  AB+AC>BC ( We have 21+10.5=31.5 => AB+AC=BC)

2. Let AB=21 So AM=21 and AC=42 .So  BC= P-AB-AC=63-21-42=0 cm- such triangle doesn't exist.

3. Finally let BC=21 cm. So AB+AC= 63-21=42 cm

We know (1) that AB=AM so AC=2*AB.  So AB+AC=AB+2*AB=3*AB

=>3*AB=42=> AB=14 cm => AC=2*14=28 cm.

Let check if this triangle exists ( if the triangle's inequality fulfills).

BC+AB>AC    21+14>28 - correct=> the triangle with the sides' length 21cm,14 cm, 28cm exists.

This variant is the only possible solution of the given problem.
