Answer:

option A

Step-by-stevvp explanation:

In the formula $d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}$

The formula is used to find the distance between two points

(x2-x1) gives the length of one leg

(y2-y1) gives the length of another leg

In a right angle triangle , Pythagorean theorem is $c=\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$

where a and b represents the sides of the triangle

Each subtraction expression in the formula represents the leg of the right angle triangle with the hypotenuse of length d

Suppose it is known that 8 out of the 20 teams in the sample had a season winning percentage better than 0.500.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all teams that had a season winning percentage better than 0.500 is (0.1853, 0.6147).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence interval $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

8 out of the 20 teams in the sample had a season winning percentage better than 0.500. This means that $n = 20, \pi = \frac{8}{20} = 0.4$ .

95% confidence interval

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6*0.4}{20}} = 0.1853$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6*0.4}{20}} = 0.6147$

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all teams that had a season winning percentage better than 0.500 is (0.1853, 0.6147).

Answer:

If production is to be maximized, Jerry should build fences and Tom should make dishes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom can build more fences per day than Jerry, and Jerry can make more dishes per day than Tom. Each has his special skill, and production will be maximized when that special skill is utilized.
