Answer:

$AE=20\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem

Triangles AEB and DEC are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

$\frac{AB}{DC}=\frac{AE}{DE}$

substitute the given values and solve for x

$\frac{10}{4}=\frac{2x+10}{x+3}$

Multiply in cross

$10x+30=8x+40\\10x-8x=40-30\\2x=10\\x=5$

Find the length side AE

$AE=2x+10$

substitute the value of x

$AE=2(5)+10=20\ units$

A random sample of 36 students at a community college showed an average age of 25 years. Assume the ages of all students at the

Pavel [41]

Answer:

98% confidence interval for the average age of all students is [24.302 , 25.698]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 36 students at a community college showed an average age of 25 years.

Also, assuming that the ages of all students at the college are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.8 years.

So, the pivotal quantity for 98% confidence interval for the average age is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample average age = 25 years

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 1.8 years

n = sample of students = 36

$\mu$ = population average age

So, 98% confidence interval for the average age, $\mu$ is ;

P(-2.3263 < N(0,1) < 2.3263) = 0.98

P(-2.3263 < $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.3263) = 0.98

P( $-2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ < ${\bar X - \mu}$ < $2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ ) = 0.98

P( $\bar X - 2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X +2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ ) = 0.98

98% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X - 2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ , $\bar X +2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ ]

= [ $25 - 2.3263 \times {\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{36} }$ , $25 + 2.3263 \times {\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{36} }$ ]

= [24.302 , 25.698]

Therefore, 98% confidence interval for the average age of all students at this college is [24.302 , 25.698].

the forecast calls for a 30% chance of snow today and a 40% chance of snow tomorrow. what are the chances it will rain two days

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The chances it will rain two days in a row is 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

The forecast calls for a 30% chance of snow today

So, chance of snowfall today = 30% = 0.3

A 40% chance of snow tomorrow.

So, chance of snowfall tomorrow= 40% = 0.4

The chances it will rain two days in a row = $0.4 \times 0.3$

= $0.12$

So, percent it will rain two days in a row = $0.12 \times 100 = 12\%$

Hence the chances it will rain two days in a row is 12%

∠3 and ∠6 can be classified as:

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Alternate Interior Angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are inside the parallel lines, Alternate Exterior Angles and any other similar theorems can be ruled out.

Since they are on opposite sides of each other, Corresponding Angles and any other similar theorems can be ruled out.

Since they are far apart from each other, Supplementary Angles, Adjacent Angles, Vertical Angles, and any other similar definitions can be ruled out.

Therefore, we are left with Alternate Interior Angles.
