Answer: The correct option is

(E) 70.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the number of triangles and quadrilaterals altogether that can be formed using the vertices of a 7-sided regular polygon.

To form a triangle, we need any 3 vertices of the 7-sided regular polygon. So, the number of triangles that can be formed is

$n_t=^7C_3=\dfrac{7!}{3!(7-3)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{3\times2\times1\times4!}=35.$

Also, to form a quadrilateral, we need any 4 vertices of the 7-sided regular polygon. So, the number of quadrilateral that can be formed is

$n_q=^7C_4=\dfrac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!\times3\times2\times1}=35.$

Therefore, the total number of triangles and quadrilaterals is

$n=n_t+n_q=35+35=70.$

Thus, option (E) is CORRECT.

Sunspots have been observed for many centuries. Records of sunspots from ancient Persian and Chinese astronomers go back thousan

Lunna [17]

Answer:

(a) Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ $\leq$ 41

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ > 41

(b) The value of z test statistics is 1.08.

(c) We conclude that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was lesser than or equal to 41.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a random sample of 40 such periods from Spanish colonial times, the sample mean is x¯ = 47.0. Previous studies of sunspot activity during this period indicate that σ = 35.

It is thought that for thousands of years, the mean number of sunspots per 4-week period was about µ = 41.

Let $\mu$ = mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period.

(a) Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ $\leq$ 41 {means that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was lesser than or equal to 41}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ > 41 {means that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was higher than 41}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z test statistics as we know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean = 47

σ = population standard deviation = 35

n = sample of periods from Spanish colonial times = 40

So, the test statistics = $\frac{47-41}{\frac{35}{\sqrt{40} } }$

= 1.08

(b) The value of z test statistics is 1.08.

(c) Now, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

P-value = P(Z > 1.08) = 1 - P(Z < 1.08)

= 1 - 0.8599 = 0.1401

Since, the P-value of the test statistics is higher than the level of significance as 0.1401 > 0.05, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was lesser than or equal to 41.

Please help!! Needed ASAP!!

yarga [219]

Answer and Explanation:

If, on the other hand, the graph "flexes" or "flattens out" to some degree when it goes to cross the axis, then the zero is of a higher multiplicity; that is, it'll be of multiplicity three, five, or higher.

When a graph doesn't start at 0, it means that the graphs before it is not shown.

For number 4, I'd suggest Graph 3.

For number 3, I'd suggest graph 1.

For number 5, Write something along the lines of "Graph 2 does not show the car stopping slowly, it stops suddenly. Then it starts going really fast and stops suddenly again."

I hoped this helped.
