Find the values of the variables in this kite.

1 answer:

4 0

Solution:

Variables used = x and y

In the kite (figure provided), there are four sides in which two are equal and other two are equal.
Let the longer two sides be a and b & smaller two sides be c and d.
a=b and c=d
Equation for longer two sides which are equal:
2x+5 and x+12

Using above two equations, we find the value of x.
By equating,
2x+5 = x+12
2x-x = 12-5
x = 7

Now equation for smaller two sides are:
y-4 and x+5

x = 7
so, x+5 = 7+5 = 12

Now we need to find value of y. We know c=d (both smaller sides are equal), therefore, if one side is 12 then other should be 12 as well.

12 = y-4
y = 16

Answer: x = 7 and y = 16

Answer:

Group A.

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown by the dot plots, Group A has one 9-year-old painter, seven 10-year-old painters, and 24 painters between the ages of 15 and 20. Group B has seventeen painters between the ages of 10 and 20 and thirteen painters between the ages of 25 and 30. Since mean is the average of everything, Group A most likely has a lower mean age of painting students than Group B does.

An environmental scientist wants to use a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean number of hours per day her solar panel r

MissTica

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours per day her solar panel receives direct sunlight is between 2.5 and 11.7.

b) The confidence interval is built from a sample of 48 days. However, we can be 95% sure that for all days, the mean number of hours per day her solar panel receives direct sunlight is between 2.5 and 11.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample. So we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 48 - 1 = 47

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 47 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975$ . So we have T = 2.0117

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.0117*2.3 = 4.6

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 7.1 - 4.6 = 2.5 hours of sunlight per day

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 7.1 + 4.6 = 11.7 hours of sunlight per day

a) Compute the 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours per day her solar panel receives direct sunlight is between 2.5 and 11.7.

b) Explain your confidence interval from part (a) in context.

The confidence interval is built from a sample of 48 days. However, we can be 95% sure that for all days, the mean number of hours per day her solar panel receives direct sunlight is between 2.5 and 11.7.
