The vertex angle of an isosceles triangle measure 40.whats the measure of the base angle?

Eddi Din [679]

I don't know if my answer is completely correct, but I think it's 100. All triangles add up to 180, and an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides. 40 would be the 2 sides, and 180 subtracted from 80 equals 100.

Answer:

The answer is

n=5 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first collect the like terms:

2-1/2n=3n+16

then...

3n-1/2=16-2

==2 1/2n = 14

===n=5 3/5

Consider the following hypothesis test. : : The following results are for two independent samples taken from two populations. Ex

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$z = -1.53$ --- test statistic

$p = 0.1260$ --- p value

Conclusion: Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n_1 = 80$ $\bar x_1= 104$ $\sigma_1 = 8.4$

$n_2 = 70$ $\bar x_2 = 106$ $\sigma_2 = 7.6$

$H_o: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$ --- Null hypothesis

$H_a: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0$ ---- Alternate hypothesis

$\alpha = 0.05$

Solving (a): The test statistic

This is calculated as:

$z = \frac{\bar x_1 - \bar x_2}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2} }}$

So, we have:

$z = \frac{104 - 106}{\sqrt{\frac{8.4^2}{80} + \frac{7.6^2}{70} }}$

$z = \frac{104 - 106}{\sqrt{\frac{70.56}{80} + \frac{57.76}{70}}}$

$z = \frac{-2}{\sqrt{0.8820 + 0.8251}}$

$z = \frac{-2}{\sqrt{1.7071}}$

$z = \frac{-2}{1.3066}$

$z = -1.53$

Solving (b): The p value

This is calculated as:

$p = 2 * P(Z < z)$

So, we have:

$p = 2 * P(Z < -1.53)$

Look up the z probability in the z score table. So, the expression becomes

$p = 2 * 0.0630$

$p = 0.1260$

Solving (c): With $\alpha = 0.05$ , what is the conclusion based on the p value

We have:

$\alpha = 0.05$

In (b), we have:

$p = 0.1260$

By comparison:

$p > \alpha$

i.e.

$0.1260 > 0.05$

So, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
