Answer:

6 kangaroos

Step-by-step explanation:

25% + 60% = 85%

15% can be only one because the two lightest are 25% of the total.

2+1+3 = 6

Which additional facts prove that RST and<br> WXY are congruent? (Geometry)

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangles ΔRSW and ΔWXY,

m(∠S) = m(∠X) = 60° [Given]

Properties of congruence of two triangles applicable in this question,

SAS or ASA

For the congruence of two triangles by the property SAS,

"Two corresponding sides and the included angle should be congruent"

RS ≅ WX, ST ≅ XY and ∠S ≅ ∠X

Which is not given in any option.

For the congruence of two triangles by the property ASA,

"Two consecutive angles and the side having these angles should be congruent"

∠R ≅ ∠W, ∠S ≅ ∠X and RS ≅ XY

Option C will be the correct option.

Which is greater least or equal to

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

< (less than)

Step-by-step explanation:

One ninth would be less than one seventh because you would have to cut let's say a circle into more pieces, making each piece smaller.

(first image is 1/9, second image is 1/7)

A statistics teacher started class one day by drawing the names of 10 students out of a hat and asked them to do as many pushups

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: b. 8.56 to 21.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\mu$ be the mean number of pushups that can be done.

As per given , we have

Sample size : n= 10

Degree of freedom = n-1=9

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=15$

Sample standard deviation : $s=9$

Significance level : α=1-0.95=0.05

From t- distribution table ,

Critical two -tailed t-value for α=0.05 and df = 9 is

$t_{\alpha/2, 9}=t_{0.025,9}=2.2622$

Confidence interval for $\mu$ is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm t*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

$=15\pm (2.2622)\dfrac{9}{\sqrt{10}}\\\\\approx 15\pm 6.44=(15-6.44,\ 15+6.44)\\\\=(8.56,\ 21.44)$

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of pushups that can be done is 8.56 to 21.44.
