Answer:

The prevalence of serious defects in this population at the time of birth is 10%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prevalence of serious defects is the number of infants that were born with seriours birth defects divided by the total number of infants born.

In this problem, we have that:

There were 1000 newborn infants.

100 infants were born with serious birth defects.

Calculate the prevalence of serious defects in this population at the time of birth.

This is:

P = \frac{10}{100} = 0.1

The prevalence of serious defects in this population at the time of birth is 10%.

Answer:

x = 13.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

x² + 6.8² = 14.1²

x² = 14.1² - 6.8²

x² = 152.57

Take the square root of both sides

x = 12.3519229272

Rounded

x = 13.4

How could you use coordinate geometry to prove that segment BD and segment AC bisect one another?
____ [38]

Answer:

I think it's prove the midpoints are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not completely sure but I'm taking it right now and I believe that's the most logical answer because if they meet up at the same midpoint then they could bisect each other.
