Answer:

Option d. 4, 8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The<u> Triangle Inequality Theorem</u> states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

case a) we have

15, 9, 3

Applying the triangle Inequality Theorem

1) 15+9 > 3

24> 3 ------> is true

2) 15+3 > 9

18 > 9 ----> is true

3) 9+3 > 15

12 > 15  ----> is not true

therefore

The set of lengths cannot be used to form the sides of a triangle

case b) we have

6,12,19

Applying the triangle Inequality Theorem

1) 6+12 > 19

18> 19 ------> is not true

therefore

The set of lengths cannot be used to form the sides of a triangle

case c) we have

11,6,3

Applying the triangle Inequality Theorem

1) 11+6 > 3

17> 3 ------> is true

2) 11+3 > 6

14 > 6 ----> is true

3) 6+3 > 11

9 > 11  ----> is not true

therefore

The set of lengths cannot be used to form the sides of a triangle

case d) we have

4,8,10

Applying the triangle Inequality Theorem

1) 4+8 > 10

12> 10 ------> is true

2) 4+10 > 8

14 > 8 ----> is true

3) 8+10 > 4

18 > 4  ----> is true

therefore

The set of lengths can be used to form the sides of a triangle

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Here (h, k) = ( - \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{3} ) and r = \frac{1}{2}, thus

(x - (- \frac{1}{5} ))² + (y - \frac{1}{3} )² = ( \frac{1}{2} )², that is

(x + \frac{1}{5} )² + (y - \frac{1}{3} )² = \frac{1}{4} → D

1. Over a period of 6 years (from 1980 to 1986) the house gained a value of 12000 dollars (109k-97k). 12000/6 gives you a rate of 2000 dollars per year. Because the initial price at t=0 is 97000, the function is 97000+2000t

Some IQ tests are standardized to a Normal model N(100,19). What is the cutoff value for the top 5% of all IQs
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The cutoff value for the top 5% of all IQs is 131.255.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 100, \sigma = 19

What is the cutoff value for the top 5% of all IQs

This is the 100 - 5 = 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.645 = \frac{X - 100}{19}

X - 100 = 19*1.645

X = 131.255

The cutoff value for the top 5% of all IQs is 131.255.
