Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If ΔJNZ and ΔKOA are similar, then corresponding sides are in proportion and corresponding angles are congruent.

We have the proportion:

$\dfrac{JN}{KO}=\dfrac{NZ}{OA}=\dfrac{ZJ}{AK}$

and equations:

$m\angle N=m\angle O=90^o\\m\angle Z=m\angle A=28^o\\m\angle J=m\angle K=62^o$

We have:

$JN=8\ in,\ NZ=15\ in,\ KO=4\ in,\ AK=x\ in,\ ZJ=y\ in$

For y we must use the Pythagorean theorem:

$ZJ^2=JN^2+NZ^2\\\\y^2=8^2+15^2\\\\y^2=64+225\\\\y^2=289\to y=\sqrt{289}\\\\y=17\ in$

$\dfrac{JN}{KO}=\dfrac{ZJ}{AK}\to\dfrac{8}{4}=\dfrac{17}{x}$ cross multiply

$8x=(4)(17)$

$8x=68$ divide both sides by 8

$x=8.5\ in$

In a two-player game, five cards, numbered 1 through 5, are placed in a bag. A card is drawn at random, and the players look at

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

If it is less than 3, Player 1 earns 3 points.

If not, Player 2 earns 2 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Player 1 :

p(N < 3) = p(N = 1 or N = 2) = 2/5

Player 2 :

p(N ≥ 3) = p(N = 3 or N = 4 or N = 5) = 3/5

We notice that :

p(N < 3) × 3 = (2/5) × 3 = 6/5

On the other hand,

p(N ≥ 3) × 2 = (3/5) × 2 = 6/5

since ,the probability player 1 win multiplied by the associated number of points (3)

is equal to

the probability player 2 win multiplied by the associated number of points (2).

Then the game is fair.

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2.6 mm is 0.0043.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the distribution of sample mean is given by,

$\mu_{\bar x}=\mu$
