kumpel [21]3 years ago

Answer:

both : Sal or his sister

Step-by-step explanation:

comic books: 8

detective books: 4

total books: 12

so 8/12 books are comic books, so Sal was right

But, his sister could also be right because 8/12 and 2/3 are proportional

proportional: this when they have the same ratio or they are equivalent

2/3 times 4/4 = 8/12

Given a right triangle with legs a, b and hypotenuse c, solve for b if a= 72 and c= 75
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The answer is a. 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question by using Pythagoras theorem to relate the sides of a right angled triangle.

Here,

Hypotenuse of the given triangle(c)=75

Two sides of right angled triangle are:

a=72

b=?

Then,

for a given right angled triangle abc,

Using Pythagoras theorem,

c=\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }

Squaring on both sides,

c^{2} =a^{2}+b^{2}

or,75^{2}=72^{2}+b^{2}

or, b^{2}=75^{2}-72^{2}

or,b^{2}=5625- 5184

or,b^{2} =441

∴b=21

So, the value of b is obtained to 21 by the use of Pythagoras theorem.

An electrical rm manufactures light bulbs that have a life span that is approximately normally distributed. The population stand
stira [4]

Answer:

The 't' test statistic = 1.46 < 1.69

The test of hypothesis is H 0 :μ = 800 is accepted

A sample of 30 bulbs are found came from average µ= 800

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

Given population of mean μ = 800

given size of small sample n =30

sample standard deviation 'S' = 45

Mean value of the sample χ = 788

Null hypothesis H_{0} =µ  =800

alternative hypothesis  H_{1} = µ ≠ 800

<u>Step 2</u>:-

The 't' test statistic t =  \frac{x-μ}{\frac{sig}{\sqrt{n} } }

                             t = \frac{788-800}{\frac{45}{\sqrt{30} } }

                       t = \frac{12}{8.215} = 1.4607

<u>Step 3</u>:-

The degrees of freedom γ = n-1 = 30-1 =29

From "t" value from table at 0.05 level of significance ( t = 1.69)

The calculated value t = 1.4607 < 1.69

Therefore The null hypothesis H_{0} ' is accepted.

<u>conclusion</u>:-

A sample of 30 bulbs are came found from average µ= 800

Assume the annual day care cost per child is normally distributed with a mean of ​$9000 and a standard deviation of ​$1000. What
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

65.54% (nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • \sf \mu=9000
  • \sf \sigma=1000

\sf X \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2)\implies X \sim N(9000,1000^2)

P(X > 8600) = 1 - P(X ≤ 8600)

                    = 1 - 0.3445782584

                    = 0.6554217416

                    = 65.54%
