Answer:

Option B. 212.1\ cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the central angle of the shaded sector

Remember that the diameter divide the circle into two equal parts ( 180 degrees each part)

so

Let

x -----> the measure of the central angle of the shaded sector

∠x+72°=180°

∠x=180°-72°=108°

step 2

Find the area of the circle

The area of the circle is

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

r=15\ cm

assume

\pi=3.1416

substitute

A=(3.1416)(15)^{2}

A=706.86\ cm^{2}

step 3

Find the area of the shaded sector

Remember that the area of the complete circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees

so

by proportion find the area of a sector by a central angle of 108 degrees

\frac{706.86}{360}=\frac{x}{108}\\ \\x=706.86*108/360\\ \\x=212.1\ cm^{2}

Answer:

Null hypothesis H_0; \mu=5

Alternative hypothesis H_a; \mu\neq 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The shower by an adult is 5 minutes.

The mean amount of time that college students spend in the shower is significantly different from 5 minutes. In a sample of 15 students, he found the average time was 4.29 minutes and the standard deviation was 0.75 minutes.

We need to determine the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

A null hypothesis is there is no statistical significance between the two variables.

An alternative hypothesis is there is a statistically significant relationship between two variables.

Therefore the required null and alternative hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis H_0; \mu=5

Alternative hypothesis H_a; \mu\neq 5

Can the mean (average) be greater than the largest number in a data set?
salantis [7]
No it can never be greater than the largest number in the set because an average (or a mean) is the "<span> number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number." c:</span>
