Answer:

$12\sqrt{2}\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the length side of the square

we know that

The area of a square is equal to

$A=b^{2}$

where

b is the length side

we have

$A=144\ cm^2$

substitute in the formula of area

$144=b^{2}$

solve for b

square root both sides

$b=12\ cm$

step 2

Find the length of the diagonal

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$d^2=b^2+b^2$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

substitute the given values

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

$d^2=288$

square root both sides

$d=\sqrt{288}\ cm$

simplify

$d=12\sqrt{2}\ cm$

At a hot air ballon festival, Erica spots a red ballon due east at an angle of elevation of 36 degrees. She turns due west and s

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Balloon in the east makes an angle of elevation of $36^{\circ}$ and is at height of 461 m

Balloon in the west makes an angle of elevation of $51^{\circ}$ and is at height of 296 m

Erica height is 1.6 m tall so net altitude of Red balloon is 459.4 m

and net height of Blue balloon is 294.4 m

using trigonometry

$\tan 36=\frac{459.4}{d_1}$

$\tan 51=\frac{294.4}{d_2}$

$d_1=632.30 m$

$d_2=238.4 m$

Distance between two Balloons

$d=d_1+d_2$

$d=870.70 m$

A population of rabbits has 20 offspring per pair of rabbits. a population of cheetahs has 2 offspring per pair of cheetahs. whi

zvonat [6]

Cheetahs population will be more affected by genetic drift

<h3>What is genetic drift?</h3>

Genetic drift is the change in a population's frequency of an existing gene variant brought on by chance. Gene variations may totally vanish due to genetic drift, hence reducing genetic variation. Additionally, it may lead to the considerably greater frequency and even fixation of previously rare alleles.

<h3>What causes genetic drift?</h3>

Random drift is a result of recurrently small populations, drastic population reductions known as "bottlenecks," and founder events in which a new population is created from a small number of individuals.

Suppose we are interested in analyzing the weights of NFL players. We know that on average, NFL players weigh 247 pounds with a

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 8.58$

$ME= 1.64 *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.64*\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 14.073$

$\bar X - ME = 237- 14.073 = 222.927$

$\bar X + ME = 237+ 14.073 = 251.073$

$n=(\frac{1.640(47)}{5})^2 =237.65 \approx 238$

So the answer for this case would be n=238 rounded up to the nearest integer

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 247$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu$

$z=\frac{237-247}{\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.165$

$p_v =P(z$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can't conclude that the true mean is lower than 247 at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

$\bar X =237$ represent the sample mean

$\sigma = 47$ represent the population deviation

$n =30$ represent the sample size selected

$\mu_0 = 247$ represent the value that we want to test.

The standard error for this case is given by:

$SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 8.58$

For the 90% confidence the value of the significance is given by $\alpha=1-0.9 = 0.1$ and $\alpha/2 = 0.05$ so we can find in the normal standard distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.05 of the area on each tail and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 1.64$

And the margin of error would be:

$ME= 1.64 *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.64*\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 14.073$

The confidence interval for this case would be given by:

$\bar X - ME = 237- 14.073 = 222.927$

$\bar X + ME = 237+ 14.073 = 251.073$

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =5 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

Replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{1.640(47)}{5})^2 =237.65 \approx 238$

So the answer for this case would be n=238 rounded up to the nearest integer

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is lower than 247 pounds, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 247$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu$

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{237-247}{\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.165$

P-value

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z$
