Answer:

(a) 4

(b) 2√3

(c) 60°

(d) 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The relationship between tangents and secants is ...

CB^2 = CD·CA

Filling in the given values, we find ...

CB^2 = 2·(2+6) = 16

CB = √16 = 4

The length of BC is 4 units.

__

(b) Triangle ABC is a right triangle, so the sides of it satisfy the Pythagorean theorem.

CA^2 = CB^2 +AB^2

8^2 = 16 +AB^2

AB = √48 = 4√3

The radius is half the length of AB, so the radius is 2√3.

__

(c) The measure of angle C can be determined from the cosine relation:

cos(C) = CB/CA = 4/8 = 1/2

C = arccos(1/2) = 60°

The measure of angle C is 60°.

__

(d) Arc AD is intercepted by angle ABD, which has the same measure as angle C. Hence the measure of arc AD is twice the measure of angle C.

The measure of arc AD is 120°.

Suppose that an internal report submitted to the managers at a bank in Boston showed that with 95 percent confidence, the propor

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The sample size used to compute the 95% confidence interval is 1066.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion is:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

The 95% confidence interval for proportion of the bank's customers who also have accounts at one or more other banks is (0.45, 0.51).

To compute the sample size used we first need to compute the sample proportion value.

The value of sample proportion is:

$\hat p=\frac{Upper\ limit+Lower\ limit}{2}=\frac{0.45+0.51}{2}=0.48$

Now compute the value of margin of error as follows:

$MOE=\frac{Upper\ limit-Lower\ limit}{2}=\frac{0.51-0.45}{2}=0.03$

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is:

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

Compute the value of sample size as follows:

$MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\0.03=1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{n}}\\(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^{2}=\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{n}\\n=1065.404\\n\approx1066$

Thus, the sample size used to compute the 95% confidence interval is 1066.

Write a decimal subtraction problem that requires regrouping to solve. then solve the problem

Svetach [21]

For example, think about 8.4 - 2.9.

You have to regroup because you can't subract 4 - 9.
4 turns into a 14 since you borrow from the left number, 8.
8 turns into a 7 after that.
Now, you have to subtract 14 - 9 and 7 - 2. You're answer is 5.5.
You can check your work by doing inverse opperations:
By adding:
5.5 + 2.9 = 8.4
Or by subracting 8.4 - 5.5 = 2.9

Hope this helped you! If you need a better explaination or another example, I will be happy to help you! :)
