Answer:

\bullet\quad\overline{QR}\cong\overline{ST}\text{ and }\overline{QR}\parallel\overline{ST}\\\\\bullet\quad\overline{QR}\cong\overline{ST}\text{ and }\overline{QT}\cong\overline{RS}

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is a parallelogram when opposite sides are parallel. This will be the case when ...

  • one pair of opposite sides are parallel and the same length (choice B)
  • each pair of opposite sides is the same length (choice E)

An isosceles trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides and the other pair of opposite sides the same length, so that is not sufficient to describe a parallelogram. (Choices A and C describe this condition.)

A line segment is always congruent to itself, so that fact establishes nothing about a parallelogram. (choice D)

_____

<em>Comment on opposite sides equal</em>

Choice E can also describe an hourglass-shaped figure. We assume here that the quadrilateral is convex, with no sides crossing each other.

A cola-dispensing machine is set to dispense 8 ounces of cola per cup, with a standard deviation of 1.0 ounce. The manufacturer
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is X: ounces per cup dispensed by the cola-dispensing machine.

The population mean is known to be μ= 8 ounces and its standard deviation σ= 1.0 ounce. Assuming the variable has a normal distribution.

A sample of 34 cups was taken:

a. You need to calculate the Z-values corresponding to the top 5% of the distribution and the lower 5% of it. This means you have to look for both Z-values that separates two tails of 5% each from the body of the distribution:

The lower value will be:

Z_{o.o5}= -1.648

You reverse the standardization using the formula Z= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{Sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~N(0;1)

-1.648= \frac{X[bar]-8}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{34} } }

X[bar]= 7.72ounces

The lower control point will be 7.72 ounces.

The upper value will be:

Z_{0.95}= 1.648

1.648= \frac{X[bar]-8}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{34} } }

X[bar]= 8.28ounces

The upper control point will be 8.82 ounces.

b. Now μ= 7.6, considering the control limits of a.

P(7.72≤X[bar]≤8.28)= P(X[bar]≤8.28)- P(X[bar]≤7.72)

P(Z≤(8.28-7.6)/(1/√34))- P(Z≤7.72-7.6)/(1/√34))

P(Z≤7.11)- P(Z≤0.70)= 1 - 0.758= 0.242

There is a 0.242 probability of the sample means being between the control limits, this means that they will be outside the limits with a probability of 1 - 0.242= 0.758, meaning that the probability of the change of population mean being detected is 0.758.

b. For this item μ= 8.7, the control limits do not change:

P(7.72≤X[bar]≤8.28)= P(X[bar]≤8.28)- P(X[bar]≤7.72)

P(Z≤(8.28-8.7)/(1/√34))- P(Z≤7.72-8.7)/(1/√34))

P(Z≤-2.45)- P(Z≤-5.71)=0.007 - 0= 0.007

There is a 0.007 probability of not detecting the mean change, which means that you can detect it with a probability of 0.993.

I hope it helps!

A rectangle is to be inscribed in an isosceles right triangle in such a way that one vertex of the rectangle is the intersection
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

x  =  2  cm

y  = 2  cm

A(max) =  4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: See Annex

The right isosceles triangle has two 45° angles and the right angle.

tan 45°  =  1  =  x / 4 - y        or     x  =  4  -  y     y  =  4  -  x

A(r)  =  x* y

Area of the rectangle as a function of x

A(x)  =  x  *  (  4  -  x )       A(x)  =  4*x  -  x²

Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation:

A´(x)  =  4 - 2*x             A´(x)  =  0            4   -  2*x  =  0

2*x  =  4

x  =  2  cm

And  y  =  4  - 2  =  2  cm

The rectangle of maximum area result to be a square of side 2 cm

A(max)  = 2*2  =  4 cm²

To find out if A(x) has a maximum in the point  x  =  2

We get the second derivative

A´´(x)  =  -2           A´´(x)  <  0   then A(x) has a maximum at  x = 2
