Answer:

$|XY|=18cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the chord is a tangent to the smaller circle, it will meet the radius of the smaller circle at right angle.

Let $d$ be the length of half of the chord. See diagram in attachment.

Then from Pythagoras Theorem,

$d^2+12^2=15^2$

$\Rightarrow d^2+144=225$

$\Rightarrow d^2=225-144$

$\Rightarrow d^2=81$

We take the positive square root of both sides to obtain,

$d=\sqrt{81}=9$

The length of the chord is

$2d=2(9)=18cm$

The correct answer is A

The mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes (with a standard deviation of 2 minutes) and the mean time it takes

kifflom [539]

We have been given for a normal distribution the mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. And the mean time it takes for the bus to get to school is 20 minutes with a standard deviation of 4 minutes.

(a) Average time that it would take reach school can be obtained by adding the average times.

8+20 = 28 minutes.

(b) Standard deviation of the trip to school can be found as:

$\sigma =\sqrt{2^{2}+4^{2}}=\sqrt{4+16}=\sqrt{20}=4.47$

Therefore, standard deviation of the entire trip is 4.47 minutes.

We need to find the probability such that $P(x>30)=P(z>0.447)=0.67$

Therefore, the required probability is 0.67.

(d) If average time to walk to school is 10 minutes, then overall average time for the trip will be 10+20 = 30 minutes.

(e) Standard deviation won't change it will remain 4.47

(f) The new probability will be:

$z=\frac{x-\mu }{\sigma }=\frac{30-90}{4.47}=0$

$P(x>30)=P(z>0)=0.5$

Therefore, probability will be 0.50.

In △ABC AL is an angle bisector (L∈ BC ). Point M∈ AB so that LM=AM=BM. Find the angles in △ABC, if AC=2AL.

Alex787 [66]

Since LM = AM, point M must be on the perpendicular bisector of AL. Since AM = BM, BL must be perpendicular to AL. This makes ∆ALC a right triangle with hypotenuse AC twice the length of side AL. Hence ∠LAC = ∠LAB = 60°, and AL is angle bisector, median, and altitude.

ΔABC is isosceles with ∠A = 120°, and ∠B = ∠C = 30°.

Which of the following are important properties of the arithmetic mean? Check all that apply. Multiple select question. The mean

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

All of the values in the data are used in calculating the mean.

The sum of the deviations is zero.

There is only one mean for a set of data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

True statement about arithmetic mean

(a) False

The mean can be equal to, greater than or less than the median

(b) True

The arithmetic mean is the summation of all data divided by the number of data; hence, all values are included.

(c) True

All mean literally represent the distance of each value from the average; so, when each value used in calculating the mean is subtracted from the calculated mean, then the end result is 0. i.e. $\sum(x - \bar x) = 0$

(d) True

The mean value of a distribution is always 1 value. When more values are added to the existing values or some values are removed from the existing values, the mean value will change.

(e) False

Nominal data are not numerical or quantitative data; hence, the mean cannot be calculated.
