Answer:

a) Height = OC = 13.3cm

b) Perimeter = 48.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given:

ODC is a right angle triangle and

ABCD is part of it.

AB = 6 cm

CD = 15 cm

BC = 8 cm

∠BCD = 90 degrees

AB is parallel to DC

Find attached the diagram obtained from the given information.

From the diagram, ∆OAB is similar to ∆ODC.

∠OBA = ∠OCD = 90 degrees

To find the height, we would apply the similar triangles theorem.

The ratio of corresponding sides are equal and the angles are congruent.

OB/BA = OC/CD

OC = OB+BC = OB+8

OB/6 = (OB+8)/15

15OB = 6(OB+8)

15OB = 6OB + 48

9OB = 48

OB = 48/9 = 16/3

OC = 16/3 + 8

OC = 13⅓ cm = 13.3cm

Height = OC = 13.3cm

b) To get perimeter, we have to first determine OD (the hypotenuse of ∆OCD) as it is a right angled triangle

Using Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

OD² = OC² + CD²

OD² = (13⅓)² + 15²

OD² = 1600/9 + 225 = 3625/9

OD = √(3625/9)

OD = 20.1

Perimeter of ∆ODC= OC + CD + OD

= 13.3 + 15 + 20.1

Perimeter = 48.4cm

g Recall the method used to obtain a confidence interval for the difference between two population means for matched samples. (a
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Population 1: 11, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 15

Population 2: 6, 6, 4, 5, 8, 13, 12

Mean = sum of terms/number of terms

For population 1,

number of terms = 7

Mean = (11 + 7 + 9 + 12 + 13 + 15 + 15)/7 = 82/7 = 11.7

For population 2,

Number of terms = 7

Mean = (6 + 6 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 13 + 12)/7 = 7.71

The difference value for each element is

(11 + 7 + 9 + 12 + 13 + 15 + 15) - (6 + 6 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 13 + 12) = (5, 1, 5, 7, 5, 2, 3)

The difference between the two means is

Mean of population 1 - mean of population 2

Difference = 11.7 - 7.71 = 3.99

That's not actually true for "this page", but I know what you mean.

19,000 / 630 = about <u>30 sheets</u> of A4 paper to cover an average adult's body.
