Answer:

width = 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the figure of the pond and the fact that the corners form a right triangle that is across from the string of flags, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the width of the triangle that is formed by the flags:

a² + b² = c², where 'a' and 'b' represent the legs of the triangle and 'c' represents the diagonal or hypotenuse.  Using 16 for 'a' and 20 for 'c':

16² + b² = 20²

256 + b² = 400

Subtract 256 from both sides: 256 - 256 + b² = 400 - 256 or b² = 144

Take the square root of both sides:  √b² = √144  or b = 12 ft

Colton has a stone paperweight composed of a triangular pyramid on top of a triangular prism with the dimensions shown below. Us
Eva8 [605]

The area of the base would be found using the area of a triangle formula which is 1/2 x base x height.

The base and height are the two sides perpendicular to each other, which are both 5 inches.

The area of the base = 1/2 x 5 x 5 = 12.5 square inches.

The volume of the triangular prism is the area of the base times the height, which is 4 inches.

Volume of the triangular prism is 12.5 x 4 = 50 cubic inches.

Volume of the triangular prism is 1/3 x area of base x height, which is 7:

Volume of the triangular prism = 1/3 x 12.5 x 7 = 29.17 cubic inches.

Total volume = 29.17 + 50 = 79.17 cubic inches.

There are 24 pictures on a roll of film. Adelle had 84 pictures from her trip home. She said that 12 other pictures were spoiled
galina1969 [7]
The answer is 4.

There were in total 96 pictures (84 pictures  + 12 spoiled = 96 pictures).
1 roll of film has 24 pictures. x rolls of film have 96 pictures.
1 : 24 = x : 96
x = 1 * 96 : 24
x = 4

Assume that the paired data came from a population that is normally distributed. using a 0.05 significance level and dequalsxmin
Artemon [7]
"<span>Assume that the paired data came from a population that is normally distributed. Using a 0.05 significance level and d = (x - y), find \bar{d}, s_{d}, the t-test statistic, and the critical values to test the claim that \mu_{d} = 0"

You did not attach the data, therefore I can give you the general explanation on how to find the values required and an example of a random paired data.

For the example, please refer to the attached picture.

A) Find </span><span>\bar{d}
You are asked to find the mean difference between the two variables, which is given by the formula:
\bar{d} =  \frac{\sum (x - y)}{n}

These are the steps to follow:
1) compute for each pair the difference d = (x - y)
2) sum all the differences
3) divide the sum by the number of pairs (n)

In our example: 
</span><span>\bar{d} =  \frac{6}{8} = 0.75</span>

B) Find <span>s_{d}
</span><span>You are asked to find the standard deviation, which is given by the formula:
</span>s_{d} =  \sqrt{ \frac{\sum(d - \bar{d}) }{n-1} }

These are the steps to follow:
1) Subtract the mean difference from each pair's difference 
2) square the differences found
3) sum the squares
4) divide by the degree of freedom DF = n - 1

In our example:
s_{d} = \sqrt{ \frac{101.5}{8-1} }
= √14.5
= 3.81

C) Find the t-test statistic.
You are asked to calculate the t-value for your statistics, which is given by the formula:
t =  \frac{(\bar{x} - \bar{y}) - \mu_{d} }{SE}

where SE = standard error is given by the formula:
SE =  \frac{ s_{d} }{ \sqrt{n} }

These are the steps to follow:
1) calculate the standard error (divide the standard deviation by the number of pairs)
2) calculate the mean value of x (sum all the values of x and then divide by the number of pairs)
3) calculate the mean value of y (sum all the values of y and then divide by the number of pairs)
4) subtract the mean y value from the mean x value
5) from this difference, subtract  \mu_{d}
6) divide by the standard error

In our example:
SE = 3.81 / √8
      = 1.346

The problem gives us <span>\mu_{d} = 0, therefore:
t = [(9.75 - 9) - 0] / 1.346</span>
  = 0.56

D) Find t_{\alpha / 2}
You are asked to find what is the t-value for a 0.05 significance level.

In order to do so, you need to look at a t-table distribution for DF = 7 and A = 0.05 (see second picture attached).

We find <span>t_{\alpha / 2} = 1.895</span>

Since our t-value is less than <span>t_{\alpha / 2}</span> we can reject our null hypothesis!!
