Answer:

We have 8 / (-4) = - 2; - 16 / 8 = - 2; 32 / -16 = - 2;

The common ratio of the sequence is - 2.

2 right triangles have identical angle measures but different side lengths. The first triangle has side lengths of 6, 10, 8 and

Answer:

Dilation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The first triangle has side lengths of 6, 10, 8 and the second triangle has side lengths of 3, 5, 4 such that these two right triangles have identical angle measures but different side lengths.

To choose: the correct option

Dilation refers to a transformation when a figure is reduced or enlarged.

Each side of the large triangle is halved to get the small triangle.

So, Dilation transformation maps the large triangle onto the small triangle

Nationally, patients who go to the emergency room wait an average of 7 hours to be admitted into the hospital. Do patients at ru

valina [46]

For this study, we should use t-test and the null and alternative hypotheses would be given by H₀: μ = 7 and H₁: μ < 7.
The test statistic is -1.941 and the p-value (0.0381) is <u>greater than</u> α = 0.01.
Based on this, we should <u>fail to reject</u> the null hypothesis.
Thus, the final conclusion is that the data suggest the population mean is not significantly lower than 7 at α = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean waiting time to be admitted into the hospital from the emergency room for patients at rural hospitals is equal to 7 hours.

<h3>What is a null hypothesis?</h3>

A null hypothesis (H₀) can be defined the opposite of an alternate hypothesis (H₁) and it asserts that two (2) possibilities are the same.

<h3>How to calculate value of the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistics can be calculated by using this formula:

$t=\frac{x\;-\;u}{\frac{\delta}{\sqrt{n} } }$

<u>Where:</u>

x is the sample mean.

u is the mean.

is the standard deviation.

n is the number of hours.

For this study, we should use t-test and the null and alternative hypotheses would be given by:

H₀: μ = 7

H₁: μ < 7

$t=\frac{6.3\;-\;7}{\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{13} } }\\\\t=\frac{-0.7}{\frac{1.3}{3.6056 } }$

t = -0.7/0.3606

t = -1.941.

For the p-value, we have:

P-value = P(t < -1.9412)

P-value = 0.0381.

Therefore, the p-value (0.0381) is <u>greater than</u> α = 0.01. Based on this, we should <u>fail to reject</u> the null hypothesis.

Thus, the final conclusion is that the data suggest the population mean is not significantly lower than 7 at α = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean waiting time to be admitted into the hospital from the emergency room for patients at rural hospitals is equal to 7 hours.

What is the length of the hypotenuse, x, if (20,21,x) is a Pythagorean triple?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(20,21,x) \\Pythagoras -Theorem =\\a^2+b^2 = c^2\\\\20^2 + 21^2 = x^2\\400 + 441 = x^2\\841 = x^2\\Square -root-both-sides\\\sqrt{841} = \sqrt{x^2} \\29 = x\\\\x = 29$
