Answer: 1:600

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that 12 m object is represented in a picture as being 2 cm.

To find the scale used, we needed to convert 12m to cm. Since 100cm = 1m, then 12m = 12 × 100 = 1200cm.

Therefore, a 1200cm object is represented in a picture as being 2 cm. The scale will be:

= 2/1200

= 1/600

= 1:600

This means that 1 centimeter in the picture represent 600 centimeter or 6 meters.

1. A right triangle is shown below. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the lengths of each side. Phythagorean Theorem: a2

erik [133]

This may not be very pretty.
(2x + 5) * (2x + 5) expanded is (use foil)
F = 4x^2
O = 2x * 5 = 10x
I = 2x + 5 = 10x
L = 25
Total = 4x^2 + 20x + 25

(x + 3)(x + 3) = x^2 + 6x + 9 by the same method

(2x + 7)(2x + 7) = 4x^2 + 28x + 49 Same method.

4x^2 + 20x + 25 + x^2 + 6x + 9 = 4x^2 + 28x + 49
5x^2 + 26x + 34 = 4x^2 + 28x + 49 Collect everything on the left.
x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0
x + 3 will have no meaning.
x - 5 = 0
x = 5

2x + 5 = 2*5 + 5 = 15
x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
2x+ 7 = 2*5 +7 = 17

Check
15^2 + 8^2 = 17^2
225 + 64 = ? 289
289 = 289

a = 15 <<<<< answer
b = 8 <<<<< answer
c = 17 <<<<< answer

Determine the t critical value(s) that will capture the desired t-curve area in each of the following cases: a. Central area 5 .

Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) "=T.INV(0.025,10)" and "=T.INV(1-0.025,10)"

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}=-2.228 , t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.228$

b) "=T.INV(0.025,20)" and "=T.INV(1-0.025,20)"

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}=-2.086 , t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.086$

c) "=T.INV(0.005,20)" and "=T.INV(1-0.005,20)"

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}=-2.845 , t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.845$

d) "=T.INV(0.005,50)" and "=T.INV(1-0.005,50)"

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}=-2.678 , t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.678$

e) "=T.INV(1-0.01,25)"

And we got $t_{\alpha}= 2.485$

f) "=T.INV(0.025,5)"

And we got $t_{\alpha}= -2.571$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The t distribution (Student’s t-distribution) is a "probability distribution that is used to estimate population parameters when the sample size is small (n<30) or when the population variance is unknown".

The shape of the t distribution is determined by its degrees of freedom and when the degrees of freedom increase the t distirbution becomes a normal distribution approximately.

The degrees of freedom represent "the number of independent observations in a set of data. For example if we estimate a mean score from a single sample, the number of independent observations would be equal to the sample size minus one."

Solution to the problem

We will use excel in order to find the critical values for this case

Determine the t critical value(s) that will capture the desired t-curve area in each of the following cases:

a. Central area =.95, df = 10

For this case we want 0.95 of the are in the middle so then we have 1-0.95 = 0.05 of the area on the tails. And on each tail we will have $\alpha/2=0.025$ .

We can use the following excel codes:

"=T.INV(0.025,10)" and "=T.INV(1-0.025,10)"

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}=-2.228 , t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.228$

b. Central area =.95, df = 20

For this case we want 0.95 of the are in the middle so then we have 1-0.95 = 0.05 of the area on the tails. And on each tail we will have $\alpha/2=0.025$ .

We can use the following excel codes:

"=T.INV(0.025,20)" and "=T.INV(1-0.025,20)"

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}=-2.086 , t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.086$

c. Central area =.99, df = 20

For this case we want 0.99 of the are in the middle so then we have 1-0.99 = 0.01 of the area on the tails. And on each tail we will have $\alpha/2=0.005$ .

We can use the following excel codes:

"=T.INV(0.005,20)" and "=T.INV(1-0.005,20)"

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}=-2.845 , t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.845$

d. Central area =.99, df = 50

For this case we want 0.99 of the are in the middle so then we have 1-0.99 = 0.01 of the area on the tails. And on each tail we will have $\alpha/2=0.005$ .

We can use the following excel codes:

"=T.INV(0.005,50)" and "=T.INV(1-0.005,50)"

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}=-2.678 , t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.678$

e. Upper-tail area =.01, df = 25

For this case we need on the right tail 0.01 of the area and on the left tail we will have 1-0.01 = 0.99 , that means $\alpha =0.01$

We can use the following excel code:

"=T.INV(1-0.01,25)"

And we got $t_{\alpha}= 2.485$

f. Lower-tail area =.025, df = 5

For this case we need on the left tail 0.025 of the area and on the right tail we will have 1-0.025 = 0.975 , that means $\alpha =0.025$

We can use the following excel code:

"=T.INV(0.025,5)"

And we got $t_{\alpha}= -2.571$
