What happens to the distance between each billiard ball during this rigid transformation?

Delicious77 [7]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

To set up a game of billiards, the first player moves the balls contained within a triangular rack as shown. What happens to the distance between each billiard during this rigid transformation?

A. The distance remains constant throughout the transformation.

B. The distance decreases at the start and increases after all motion stops.

C. The distance stays the same at the start but decreasesexactly when motion ends.

D. The distance increases at the start and then decreases as the rack gets further from the player.

Answer: A. The distance remains constant throughout the transformation.

Step-by-step explanation: In a rigid motion, all moving points in the plane are moving in way such tha:

1) relative distance between them stays the same and

2) relative position of the points stays the same

There are four types of rigid motions: translation, rotation, reflexion and glide reflection.

Translation: every point or object is moved by the same amount and in the same direction;

Rotation: the object rotates by the same amount around a fixed point;

Reflexion: the object exchange points from one side of a line with points on the other side of the line at the same distance from the line;

Glide Reflection: is a mirror reflection followed by a translation parallel to the mirror.

In the game of billiards, because all the balls are inside the triangular rack, the distance, and also the position, between them stays the same, limited by the rack. Since they are moving by the same amount in the same direction, the rigid transformation is a translation.

Therefore, the distance of the balls in the triangular rack remains constant throughout the transformation.

Hypothesis Testing for Means with Small Samples

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is

X: volume of root beer in a Windsor Bottling Company can.

A sample of n=24 cans was taken and their contents measured, resulting:

X[bar]= 11.4 oz

S= 0.62 oz

Assuming that the variable has a normal distribution X~N(μ;σ²), the parameter of interest is the average contents of the root beer cans of the Windsor Bottling Company (μ)

The claim is that the population mean content of the cans is different from 12 oz, symbolically: μ ≠ 12

The statistical hypothesis (Null and alternative) have to be complementary, exhaustive and mutually exclusive. The null hypothesis is the "no change" hypothesis and always carries the "=" sign.

If the claim is μ ≠ 12, its complement is μ = 12, the expression carrying the "=" sign will be the null hypothesis and its complement will be the alternative hypothesis:

H₀: μ = 12

H₁: μ ≠ 12

α: 0.05

To test the population mean of this normal population, you have to apply a one sample t-test, with statistic:

$t= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } } ~t_{n-1}$

$t_{H_0}= \frac{11.4-12}{\frac{0.62}{\sqrt{24} } } = -4.74$

This test is two-tailed, using the critical value approach, you have to determine two rejection regions. Meaning, you'll reject the null hypothesis to small values of the statistic or to high values of the statistic.

$t_{n-1;\alpha /2}= t_{23;0.025}= -2.069$

$t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}= t_{23;0.975}= 2.069$

The decision rule is:

If $t_{H_0}$ ≤ -2.069 or if $t_{H_0}$ ≥ 2.069, then you reject the null hypothesis.

If -2.069 < $t_{H_0}$ < 2.069, then you do not reject the null hypothesis.

The value is less than the left critical value, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Then you can say that with a 5% significance level, there is significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis, then the average amount of root beer of the Windsor Bottling Company is different from 12 oz, this means that the claim about the amount of root beer in the cans is correct.

I hope it helps!

Kendall is solving this inequality. x/2 + 6 > 42 What should she do first to solve?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

First, she should subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality. This makes it so that the x terms are on one side and the non-x terms are on the other side so she can then solve for x by multiplying the entire inequality by 2.
