Answer:

The height is 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a triangle with the 3 sides marked as 15, 20, and 25 and we want to find the height of it (marked as x in the problem).

This problem can seem a bit difficult, but let's see if the triangle is a right triangle first off.

One way to figure out if it is a right triangle is to apply the converse of the Pythagorean theorem.

Let's label the sides, where a is the shortest side, b is the second shortest side, and c is the longest side:

a=15

b=20

c=25

Now square a and b, then add the result together. If it's the same as c squared, then the triangle is a right triangle

15²+20²=25²

225+400=625

625=625

So we can safely say that the triangle is a right triangle

This makes the problem way easier, as there are 2 ways to find the area of a right triangle:

The first way is to multiply the legs (the sides that make up the right angle) together, then divide the result by 2

The other way is to multiply the height and the hypotenuse (the side OPPOSITE to the right angle) together, and then divide the result by 2

First, we need to figure out which sides are the legs, and which side is the hypotenuse

By the triangle inequality theorem, the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the longest side, which means that the 25 cm side is the hypotenuse, and that leaves 15 cm and the 20 cm sides as the legs

So let's find the area of the triangle using the legs

A= $\frac{15*20}{2}$ = $\frac{300}{2}$ =150

So the area of the triangle is 150 cm²

However, as mentioned above, we can also find the area of the triangle by multiplying the hypotenuse by the base, then dividing the result by 2

Which means that the area is also:

A= $\frac{25x}{2}$ cm²

As these both equal the area of the triangle, we can set them equal to each other. This is possible via a property known as transitivity (if a=b and b=c, then a=c)

$\frac{25x}{2}=150$

Multiply both sides by 2

25x=300

Divide both sides by 25

x=12 cm

So the height of the triangle is 12 cm

Hope this helps!

An advertising executive claims that there is a difference in the mean household income for credit cardholders of Visa Gold and

Maslowich

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{Visa}=\mu_{Mastercard}$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{Visa} \neq \mu_{Mastercard}$

$t=\frac{66970-59060}{\sqrt{\frac{9500^2}{11}+\frac{10000^2}{17}}}}=2.108$

$p_v =2*P(t_{26}>2.108)=0.0448$

Comparing the p value with the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we can reject the null hypothesis, and a would be a significant difference between the in the mean household income for credit cardholders of Visa Gold and of MasterCard Gold at 10% of significance .

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X_{Visa}=66970$ represent the mean for Visa

$\bar X_{Mastercard}=59060$ represent the mean for the sample Mastercard

$s_{Visa}=9500$ represent the population standard deviation for Visa

$s_{Mastercard}=10000$ represent the population standard deviation for Mastercard

$n_{Visa}=11$ sample size for the group Visa

$n_{Mastercard}=17$ sample size for the group Mastercard

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$\alpha=0.1$ significance level provided

Develop the null and alternative hypotheses for this study?

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the means for the two groups are different, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{Visa}=\mu_{Mastercard}$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{Visa} \neq \mu_{Mastercard}$

Since we don't know the population deviations for each group, for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X_{Visa}-\bar X_{Masterdcard}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{Visa}}{n_{Visa}}+\frac{s^2_{Mastercard}}{n_{Mastercard}}}}$ (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Calculate the value of the test statistic for this hypothesis testing.

Since we have all the values we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$t=\frac{66970-59060}{\sqrt{\frac{9500^2}{11}+\frac{10000^2}{17}}}}=2.108$

What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df= n_{Visa}+n_{Mastercard}-2 = 11+17-2= 26$

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{26}>2.108)=0.0448$

Based on the p-value, what is your conclusion?

Comparing the p value with the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we can reject the null hypothesis, and a would be a significant difference between the in the mean household income for credit cardholders of Visa Gold and of MasterCard Gold at 10% of significance .
