Answer:

The coordinates of D are (x,0). In triangle BCD the length of base is x. In triangle ABD the length of base is x and the height is y. The expression for the area is \frac{1}{2}xy.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the vertices of triangle are A(0,0), B(x,y) and C(2x,0).

Since BD is a perpendicular bisector. Therefore the line BD divides the angle in two equal parts. It is given that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle , therefore D bisects the segment AC.

So, D is midpoint of AC.

Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

D=(\frac{0+2x}{2},\frac{0+0}{2})=(x,0)

Therefore the coordinates of D are (x,0).

From the given figure it is notices that the base of the triangle is 2x and the height of the triangle is y. Area of triangle ABC is

ABC=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height

ABC=\frac{1}{2}\times (2x)\times y

ABC=xy

Therefore area of triangle ABC is xy.

From the figure it is noticed that the point D is midpoint therefore the measure of AD and DC is x.

In triangle ABD, the height of the triangle is yand the base of the triangle is x. So area of triangle ABD is

ABD=\frac{1}{2}\times (x)\times y

ABD=\frac{1}{2}xy

In triangle BCD, the height of the triangle is yand the base of the triangle is x. So area of triangle BCD is

BCD=\frac{1}{2}\times (x)\times y

BCD=\frac{1}{2}xy

Therefore the area of both triangles are \frac{1}{2}xy.

Hence proved that the perpendicular bisector of an isosceles triangle base divides it into two triangles of equal area.

Construct a​ 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean, mu. Assume the population has a normal distribution. A group of 1
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the population​ mean is [19.891 , 24.909].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a group of 19 randomly selected students has a mean age of 22.4 years with a standard deviation of 3.8 years.

Assuming the population has a normal distribution.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean is given by;

         P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean age of selected students = 22.4 years

             s = sample standard deviation = 3.8 years

             n = sample of students = 19

             \mu = population mean

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used t statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean, \mu is ;

P(-2.878 < t_1_8 < 2.878) = 0.99  {As the critical value of t at 18 degree of

                                                freedom are -2.878 & 2.878 with P = 0.5%}

P(-2.878 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.878) = 0.99

P( -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X - \mu} < 2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.99

P( \bar X -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } < \mu < \bar X +2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } , \bar X +2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ]

                                                 = [ 22.4 -2.878 \times {\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{19} } , 22.4 +2.878 \times {\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{19} } ]

                                                 = [19.891 , 24.909]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean is [19.891 , 24.909].
