You know that .5 = 0.5 = 5/10 = 1/2.

Mixed number sought: -9_1/2.

Answer:

$x$ = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape ABCDEF is an irregular polygon.

The sum of the interior angles of any regular or irregular polygon = (n - 2) x 180 (where n is the number of sides of the polygon).

Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of shape ABCDEF = (6 - 2) x 180 = 720°

So to find the value of $x$ , we need to add together all the interior angles and equal it to 720, then solve for $x$ .

Before we do that, we need to determine angle F.

From inspection, we can see that angle F and 52° are a linear pair. We know that a linear pair of angles add up to 180°, so F + 52 = 180 ⇒ F = 180 - 52 = 128°

Therefore:

A + B + C + D + E + F = 720

(10 $x$ - 5) + 108 + (8 $x$ - 3) + (14 $x$ - 25) + 133 + 128 = 720

Collect like terms:

10 $x$ + 8 $x$ + 14 $x$ - 5 + 108 - 3 - 25 + 133 + 128 = 720

Combine like terms:

32 $x$ + 336 = 720

Subtract 336 from both sides:

32 $x$ = 384

Divide both sides by 32:

$x$ = 12

9.4 The heights of a random sample of 50 college stu- dents showed a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a stan- dard deviation of 6.9

gladu [14]

Answer: a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean height = 174.5 cm

Standard deviation = 6.9 cm

n = 50

we need to find the 98% confidence interval.

So, z = 2.326

(a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean height of all college students.

$x\pm z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=(174.5\pm 2.326\times \dfrac{6.9}{\sqrt{50}})\\\\=(174.5+2.26,174.5-2.26)\\\\=(176.76,172.24)$

(b) What can we assert with 98% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the mean height of all college students to be 174.5 centime- ters?

Error would be

$\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=\dfrac{6.9}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=0.976$
