The confidence interval is from 0.2191 to 0.2649, given by

0.242\pm0.0229.

The z-score we need is found by first subtracting the confidence level from 1:
1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Divide that by 2:
0.05/2 = 0.025

Subtract that from 1:
1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Look this up in the middle of a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) and we see that the z-score is 1.96.

Now our confidence interval is given by
\overline{x} \pm z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}
\\
\\0.242\pm 1.96 \times (\frac{0.037}{\sqrt{10}})
\\
\\0.242 \pm .0229
\\
\\0.242-0.0229=0.2191
\\
\\0.242+0.0229 = 0.2649

poizon [28]

Answer:

24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a circle with two chord BE and CD

BE and CD intersect at A

By circle chords intersection theorem we have

DA*AC = EA*AB

i.e. 8(15) = 5(AB)

Divide by 5 both the sides

AB =8(15)/5 = 8(3) = 24 units

Verify:

Let us check now whether chord intersection theorem is satisfied.

DA*AC = 8(15) = 120

EA*AB = 5(24) = 120

Since these two equal, we verify that answer is right.

Select all the correct answers.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

a = 6, b = 8, and c = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can easily use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve all of these.

a = 4; b = 6; c = 8... 4^2 + 6^2 = 16 + 36 = 52. 8^2 = 64. 52 is not equal to 64, so the first choice is not a right triangle.

a = 6; b = 8; c = 10... Well this is a multiple of the 3-4-5 Pythagorean triple, so this is a right triangle.

a = 5; b = 6; c = 761... 5^2 + 6^2 = 25 + 36 = 61. 761^2 = 579121, which is not equal to 61, so the third choice is not a right triangle.

a = 6; b = 9; c = 12... 6^2 + 9^2 = 36 + 81 = 117. 12^2 = 144, which is not equal to 117, so the fourth choice is not a right triangle.

The only case where there is a right triangle is the second choice, where a = 6, b = 8, and c = 10.

Hope this helps!
