They can not, there are only 2 sides and they probably flipped it different ways. They got 'lucky'.

No, a coin has ONLY TWO sides...meaning it CANT be unbalanced. If it somehow landed on its side then it would have gotten heads.

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Find a set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics. (Enter your answer as a comma-separated list of equations in terms of x, y, z, and t.) The line passes through the point (3, 1, 2) and is parallel to the line given by x = y = z.

Answer:

the set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics are; x = t+3, y = t+1, z = t+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

line x = y = z and point ( 3, 1, 2 )

the given line can be written as;

[x-0 / 1] = [y-0 / 1] = [z-0 / 1]

if two lines are parallel directional ratios are equal.

so DIRECTIONAL RATIOS of given line is ( 1, 1, 1 )

therefore required line is;

[x-3 / 1] = [y-1 / 1] = [z-2 / 1] = t

⇒ [x-3 / 1] = t

x = t+3

[y-1 / 1] = t

y = t+1

[z-2 / 1] = t

z = t+2

Therefore the set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics are; x = t+3, y = t+1, z = t+2

A College Alcohol Study has interviewed random samples of students at four-year colleges. In the most recent study, 494 of 1000

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of women who drink alcohol and the proportion of men who drink alcohol is (-0.102, -0.014) or (-10.2%, -1.4%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to calculate the bounds of a 95% confidence interval of the difference between proportions.

For a 95% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.96.

The sample 1 (women), of size n1=1000 has a proportion of p1=0.494.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=494/1000=0.494$

The sample 2 (men), of size n2=1000 has a proportion of p2=0.552.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=552/1000=0.552$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.058.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.494-0.552=-0.058$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{494+552}{1000+1000}=\dfrac{1046}{2000}=0.523$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.523*0.477}{1000}+\dfrac{0.523*0.477}{1000}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.000249+0.000249}=\sqrt{0.000499}=0.022$

Then, the margin of error is:

$MOE=z \cdot s_{p1-p2}=1.96\cdot 0.022=0.0438$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=(p_1-p_2)-z\cdot s_{p1-p2} = -0.058-0.0438=-0.102\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z\cdot s_{p1-p2}= -0.058+0.0438=-0.014$

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.102, -0.014).

A circle has its center at (0,0) and passes through the point (0,9). What is the standard equation of the circle?

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

x^2+y^2=9^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Where the center of a circle is (h,k) and r is the radius of the circle. In this case because a circle is equidistant from the center and we have a point where it passes through 9 that means that the radius is 9. However, since the standard equation states that we must write r in the form of $r^2$ this means that $r^2=9^2$ . Therefore by plugging in the values we have:
