Answer:

$\sqrt{89}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, if you take 8 and square it, you get 64.

You then take 5 and square it giving you 25.

add the 64 and 25 to get you 89 = x squared.

Then take the square roots of x. (Keep in mind, what you do to one side must be done to the other.)

Because 89 is not a perfect square, you can it it as the square root of 89.

3. Nolan drew a right triangle. How many<br>acute angles did he draw?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Two acute angles

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle has one 90 degree angle and two acute angles. Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees... The two sides of the triangle that are by the right angle are called the legs... and the side opposite of the right angle is called the hypotenuse.

Consider the following hypothesis test:

postnew [5]

Answer:

a. P-value = 0.039.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean significantly differs from 100.

b. P-value = 0.013.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean significantly differs from 100.

c. P-value = 0.130.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean significantly differs from 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the population mean significantly differs from 100.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu=100\\\\H_a:\mu\neq 100$

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=65.

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

$df=n-1=65-1=64$

a. The sample mean is M=103.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=11.5.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

$s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{11.5}{\sqrt{65}}=1.4264$

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

$t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{103-100}{1.4264}=\dfrac{3}{1.4264}=2.103$

This test is a two-tailed test, with 64 degrees of freedom and t=2.103, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

$\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(t>2.103)=0.039$

As the P-value (0.039) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean significantly differs from 100.

b. The sample mean is M=96.5.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=11.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

$s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{11}{\sqrt{65}}=1.3644$

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

$t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{96.5-100}{1.3644}=\dfrac{-3.5}{1.3644}=-2.565$

This test is a two-tailed test, with 64 degrees of freedom and t=-2.565, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

$\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(t$

As the P-value (0.013) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean significantly differs from 100.

c. The sample mean is M=102.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=10.5.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

$s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{10.5}{\sqrt{65}}=1.3024$

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

$t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{102-100}{1.3024}=\dfrac{2}{1.3024}=1.536$

This test is a two-tailed test, with 64 degrees of freedom and t=1.536, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

$\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(t>1.536)=0.130$

As the P-value (0.13) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean significantly differs from 100.
