Problem 4:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kipish [7]4 years ago

Answer:

12cm and 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle  = 20cm

 let the other two sides be x and y;

 The difference;

                x  = y - 4

Problem:

Find x and y;

Solution:

According to the pythagoras theorem;

    x² + y² = 20²  ------ i

       x² + y² = 400 ----- i

and  x - y = 4 ---- ii

So;   x = 4 + y

Now input the value into equation (i);

  (y + 4)² + y² = 400

   (y+4)(y+4) + y² = 400

    y² + y² + 4y + 4y + 16 = 400

    2y² + 8y + 16 = 400

    2y² + 8y + 16 -400 = 0

   2y² + 8y - 384 = 0;

      y² + 4y - 192 = 0

Factorize the equation;

  y² + 16y - 12y - 192 = 0

  y(y + 16) - 12(y + 16) = 0

  (y-12)(y + 16) = 0

     y -12 = 0 or y+ 16 = 0

     y = 12 or -16

It is not realistic for the length of a body to be a negative value, so y= 12;

   since;

    x - y = 4,

    x = 4 + 12

    x = 16

Answer:

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: \mu =150

Alternative hypothesis: \mu >150

A type of error I for this case would be reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is equal than 150 when actually is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".  

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".  

Type I error, also known as a “false positive” is the error of rejecting a null  hypothesis when it is actually true. Can be interpreted as the error of no reject an  alternative hypothesis when the results can be  attributed not to the reality.  

Type II error, also known as a "false negative" is the error of not rejecting a null  hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is the true. Can be interpreted as the error of failing to accept an alternative hypothesis when we don't have enough statistical power.  

Solution to the problem

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: \mu =150

Alternative hypothesis: \mu >150

A type of error I for this case would be reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is equal than 150 when actually is not true.

6 = 2(1) + 2(w)

6 = 2 + 2w

Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate 2w.

4 = 2w

Divide 2 on both sides to isolate w.

2 = w
