If the base of a triangle is shortened by 60 percent, by what percent must the height be increased if the area is to remain the

same?
Mathematics
1 answer:
Ahat [919]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

150%

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is half base times height.  We want the product to be the same, so if we scale one factor by f, we have to scale the other factor by 1/f to compensate.

Reducing by 60% is multiplication by f=1-60/100 = 0.4

So we have to multiply the height by 1/0.4=2.5 to compensate.

A factor of 2.5 is an increase of 150%

Check:

(1-60/100)(1+150/100) = 1, good

An experimenter conducted a two-tailed hypothesis test on a set of data and obtained a p-value of 0.44. If the experimenter had
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Correct option is (C).

The possible value of the <em>p</em>-value for a one-tailed test are 0.22 and 0.78.

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>p</em>-value is the probability of acquiring a result as extreme as the observed result, assuming the null hypothesis statement is true.

The <em>p</em> value of a test is:

Left-tailed test: P(TS

Right-tailed test: P(TS>ts) = 1- P(TS.

Here,

TS = Test statistic

ts = computed value of the test statistic.

The two-tailed <em>p</em>-value is: 2P(TS or 2P(TS>ts).

The <em>p</em>-value of the two tailed test is, 0.44.

Compute the <em>p</em>-value for one-tailed test a follows:

  • For a left-tailed test:

            2P(TS

  • For a right-tailed test:

            P(TS>ts) = 1- P(TS

Thus, the possible value of the <em>p</em>-value for a one-tailed test are 0.22 and 0.78.

The correct option is (C).

draw a straight line with a ruler through the points (0,0) and (3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

since your equation is linear, you need to use a ruler to graph, put in 0 and 3 to get 0 and 1, respectively, and draw a line through the two points on a graph
