Answer: The three sides are 14, 14, 20

===================================

x = length of the two equal sides

x+6 = length of the third longer side

add up the three lengths x, x, x+6. Set it equal to the perimeter 48. Solve for x

x+x+x+6 = 48

3x+6 = 48

3x+6-6 = 48-6 ... subtract 6 from both sides

3x = 42

3x/3 = 42/3 ... divide both sides by 3

x = 14

If x = 14, then x+6 = 14+6 = 20

The three sides are 14, 14, 20

We can check this by adding up the three sides 14+14+20 = 28+20 = 48 and we get the right perimeter.

A simple random sample of 100 observations was taken from a large population. The sample mean and the standard deviation were de
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Se=1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error is the standard deviation of a sample population. "It measures the accuracy with which a sample represents a population".

The central limit theorem (CLT) states "that the distribution of sample means approximates a normal distribution, as the sample size becomes larger, assuming that all samples are identical in size, and regardless of the population distribution shape"

The sample mean is defined as:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}

And the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Let X denotes the random variable that measures the particular characteristic of interest. Let, X1, X2, …, Xn be the values of the random variable for the n units of the sample.

As the sample size is large,(>30) it can be assumed that the distribution is normal. The standard error of the sample mean X bar is given by:

Se=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

If we replace the values given we have:

Se=\frac{12}{\sqrt{100}}=1.2

So then the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is:

\bar X \sim N(\mu=80,Se=1.2)

We see it is the y terms squared so it opens left or right

in form
(y-k)^2=4(p)(x-h)
vertex is (h,k)
and p is distance from focus to vertex, also distance from vertex to directix
if p>0, then it opens to the right and dirextix is to the left of vertex
if p<0, then it opens to the left and directix is tothe right of vertex


so
(y-1)^2=4(4)(x-(-3))
vertex is (-3,1)
4>0 so dirextix is to left of vertex
left is in x direction
-3-4=-7
directix is x=-7
