bearing in mind that the perimeter of two similar figures are at a ratio, which is the same ratio is their sides.


\bf \cfrac{\textit{small octagon}}{\textit{large octagon}}\qquad \cfrac{perimeter}{perimeter}\implies \cfrac{24}{32}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}\implies 3:4 \\\\\\ \cfrac{\textit{small octagon}}{\textit{large octagon}}\qquad \cfrac{side}{side}\qquad \cfrac{x}{6}=\cfrac{3}{4}\implies 4x=18\implies x=\cfrac{18}{4}\implies x=\cfrac{9}{2}

Explain how to perform a​ two-sample z-test for the difference between two population means using independent samples with sigma
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the two independent samples application, it involves the test of hypothesis that is the difference in population means, μ1 - μ2. The null hypothesis is always that there is no difference between groups with respect to means.

Null hypothesis: ∪₁ = ∪₂. where ∪₁ represent the mean of sample 1 and ∪₂ represent the mean of sample 2.

A researcher can hypothesize that the first mean is larger than the second (H1: μ1 > μ2 ), that the first mean is smaller than the second (H1: μ1 < μ2 ), or that the means are different (H1: μ1 ≠ μ2 ). These ae the alternative hypothesis.

Thus for the z test:

    if n₁ > 30 and n₂ > 30

     z = X₁ - X₂ / {Sp[√(1/n₁ + 1/n₂)]}

where Sp is √{ [(n₁-1)s₁² + (n₂-1)s₂²] / (n₁+n₂-2)}

Find the slope of the line that passes through (14, -26) and (15, 14).
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Slope is 40

Full equation: y=40x-586

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is y2-y1/x2-x1

14 is x1

-26 is y1

15 is x2

14 is y2

14-(-26)/15-14

40

So the slope is 40

To find the equation

y=40x+b

14=15(40)+b

14=600+b

b=-586

Equation:

y=40x-586
