We know that the two angles are congruent (equal in measure), so we take the written out descriptions of the angles and convert them to equations that we set equal to each other.

"Three more than twice a number" = 2x + 3

"54.5 less than three times the number" = 3x - 54.5

2x + 3 = 3x - 54.5

Add 54.5 to both sides

2x + 57.5 = 3x

Subtract 2x from both sides

57.5 = x

Now we plug in 57.5 in the original equations to get the measure of each angle.

2(57.5) + 3 = 118 degrees

3(57.5) - 54.5 = 118 degrees

As we already knew, the angles are congruent.

P.S.: Nowhere in the prompt does it say anything about a triangle, just that we have a pair of congruent angles. Be sure to read each prompt carefully.

You want to estimate the proportion of kids between the ages of 12 and 15 who have tried marijuana. You take a random sample of

kirill115 [55]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let p represents the population proportion.

By considering the given information, we have

$H_0: p=0.29\\\\H_a: p\neq0.29$

∵ the alternative hypothesis is two tailed , so the test is two-tailed test.

Given : For sample size :n= 130, $\hat{p}=0.23$

Test statistic: $z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

$z=\dfrac{0.23-0.29}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.29(1-0.29)}{130}}}\\\\=-1.50762993902\approx-1.51$

P-value (two -tailed test)= $2P(z>|-1.51|)=0.1310434\approx 0.131$

Since , the p-value (0.131) is greater than the significance level (0.03), so we accept the null hypothesis.

Thus , we conclude that we have sufficient evidence to support the null hypothesis that the true population proportion of Maryland students who have smoked marijuana is 29% .
