Answer:  7\frac{5}{7} unit and 18 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABCD is a trapezoid where AB and CD are the bases. ( In which AB is greatest base which shown in below figure)

AD and BC are the legs of the trapezoid ABCD.

Now, we have ( According to the question ),

AB = 18 unit, BC = 7 unit, AD = 3 unit and DC = 11 unit.

Here the leg AD extends from point D.

Similarly leg BC extends from point C.

Let they meet at point P ( shown in below diagram)

Since In triangles PAB and PDC,

∠PDC ≅ ∠PAB ( because DC ║ AB )

And, ∠ PAB ≅ ∠ PBA

∠DPC ≅ ∠ APB ( reflexive)

Therefore, By AAA similarity postulate,

\triangle PDC \sim \triangle PAB

Thus, By the definition of similarity,

\frac{PD}{PA} = \frac{DC}{AB}

\frac{PD}{PD+3} = \frac{11}{18} ( because PA = PD+DA)

⇒ 18 PD = 11 PD +33

⇒7PD = 33

⇒ PD = 33/7

Again by the definition of similarity,

\frac{PC}{PB} = \frac{DC}{AB}

\frac{PC}{PC+7} = \frac{11}{18} ( because PB = PC + CB)

⇒ 18 PC = 11 PD +77

⇒7PC = 77

⇒ PC = 11

Thus, PA =  PD+DA = 33/7 + 3 = 7\frac{5}{7}

And, PB = PC + CB = 11 + 7 = 18

A recipe calls for 2/3 of cups of milk for 11 cookies. How many cups of milk are needed to make 165 cookies?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

10 cups of milk

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a proportion, where x is the number of cups of milk for 165 cookies:

\frac{2/3}{11} = \frac{x}{165}

Cross multiply and solve for x:

11x = 110

x = 10

So, 10 cups of milk are needed to make 165 cookies

fluorescent light factory that manufactures fluorescent lights that have a lifetime that is approximately normally distributed w
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The p-value obtained is greater than the significance level at which the test was performed, hence, we fail to reject the null hypothesis & say that there is enough evidence to conclude that the mean life of the fluorescent lights is 700 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

fluorescent light factory that manufactures fluorescent lights that have a lifetime that is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 700 hours and a standard deviation of 45 hours. Test the hypothesis that mean is 700 hours against the alternative hypothesis that the mean is not equal to 700 hours, if a random sample of 30 bulbs has an average life of 688 hours. Use a P-value in your answer.

Solution

For hypothesis testing, the first thing to define is the null and alternative hypothesis.

The null hypothesis plays the devil's advocate and usually takes the form of the opposite of the theory to be tested. It usually contains the signs =, ≤ and ≥ depending on the directions of the test.

While, the alternative hypothesis usually confirms the the theory being tested by the experimental setup. It usually contains the signs ≠, < and > depending on the directions of the test.

For this question, the null hypothesis is that the mean life of the fluorescent lights is 700 hours.

The alternative hypothesis will now be that the mean life of the fluorescent lights is significantly different from 700 hours.

Mathematically,

The null hypothesis is represented as

H₀: μ = 700

The alternative hypothesis is represented as

Hₐ: μ ≠ 700

To do this test, we will use the z-distribution because no information on the population standard deviation is known

So, we compute the z-test statistic

z = (x - μ₀)/σₓ

x = sample mean = 688 hours

μ₀ = 700 hours

σₓ = standard error = (σ/√n)

σ = standard deviation = 45 hours

n = Sample size = 30

σₓ = (45/√30) = 8.2158383626 = 8.216

z = (688 - 700) ÷ 8.216

z = 1.46

checking the tables for the p-value of this z-statistic

Significance level = 0.05 (This is used when significance level isn't given)

The hypothesis test uses a two-tailed condition because we're testing in two directions.

p-value (for z = 1.46, at 0.05 significance level, with a two tailed condition) = 0.14429

The interpretation of p-values is that

When the (p-value > significance level), we fail to reject the null hypothesis and when the (p-value < significance level), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

So, for this question, significance level = 0.05

p-value = 0.14429

0.14429 > 0.05

Hence,

p-value > significance level

This means that we fail to reject the null hypothesis & say that there is enough evidence to conclude that the mean life of the fluorescent lights is 700 hours.

Hope this Helps!!

Explain why 2n+1 must be an odd number
Lorico [155]
If is an integer (a whole number), then the expression represents an even number, because even numbers are the multiples of 2. The expressions 2 n − 1 and 2 n + 1 can represent odd numbers, as an odd number is one less, or one more than an even number.
