Ruthie wants to construct a line that passes through point P and is perpendicular to AB. What should Ruthie do first?

A) measure the length of segment AB with her compass
B) construct two intersecting arcs with centers A and B
C) use her straight-edge to draw a line from point P to point A
☆☆☆D) construct an arc with center P that intersects segment AB in two points

Answer:

D. construct an arc with center P that intersects segment AB in two points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Ruthie wants to construct a line that passes through point P and is perpendicular to AB

To Find : What should Ruthie do first?

Solution :

Her first step should be :

D. construct an arc with center P that intersects segment AB in two points.

Accurate steps.

1.Place the compasses on the given external point P.construct an arc with center P that intersects segment AB in two points.

2.From each arc on AB draw an arc below the line so that the resultant arcs cross each other.

3.Place a straightedge between P and the point where the arcs intersect. Draw the perpendicular line from P to the line,

Thus the first step should be : D. construct an arc with center P that intersects segment AB in two points.

three times the sum of a number and 4 is 8 less than one-half the number. write and solve an equation to find the answer

garri49 [273]

3(x + 4) = 1/2x - 8

...multiply 3

3x + 12 = 1/2x - 8

...subtract 1/2x

2.5x + 12 = -8

...subtract 12

2.5x = -20

...divide by 2.5

x = -8

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a test required for admission to many US graduate schools. Student’s scores on the quan

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 150

Standard deviation = 8.8

An admissions officer at a large graduate school believes the mean is less than 150.

a)Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.

So, hypothesis :

$H_0:\mu =150\\\\H_a:\mu\neq 150$

b)Explain what it would mean to make a Type I Error.

As we know that Type 1 error are those errors in which null hypothesis is supposed to be rejected but not get rejected.

So, here, mean is not less than 150 but in actual it is less than 150.

c)Explain what it would mean to make a Type II Error.

As we know that Type II error are those errors in which null hypothesis is not supposed to be rejected but it gets rejected.

So, mean is less than 150 but actually it is not less than 150.
