Answer: Choice A) AA postulate; 18

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

The triangles are similar to each other due to the AA (angle angle) postulate. The top angles are overlapping or shared angles. So that's the first pair. The second pair of angles is either bottom pair of angles, from the fact that corresponding angles are congruent. This is only true if the lines are parallel.

Due to the similar triangles, we can set up the proportion and solve for x
8/(8+4) = 12/x
8/12 = 12/x
8*x = 12*12 ... cross multiply
8x = 144
x = 144/8
x = 18

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

a. A researcher wants to compare the hand–eye coordination of men and women. She finds a random sample of 100 men and 100 ​women, and measures their hand–eye coordination = paired samples

b. A researcher wants to know whether professors with tenure have fewer office hours than professors without tenure. She observes the number of office hours for professors with and without tenure. =  independent samples

Explanation:

Paired-samples t tests compare scores on two different variables but for the same group of cases; independent-samples t tests compare scores on the same variable but for two different groups of cases.
