Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5(-2x -10) = 25(x + 1)

-10x - 50 = 25x + 25

by transposing

-10x - 25x = 25 + 50

-35x = 75

x = -75/35

x = 15/7

or 2.142857..... in decimal

Please be kind and help me on this question. WARNING: only if your good at math thank you

Short Answer: The first three are absolutely true. Congruency is maintained if all you are doing is shifting the figure 8 spaces away. Since the figures are congruent, their corresponding parts are equal and the statements made are always true. That's the guiding principle.

A is true. See the short answer.

B is True. You have gone 8 units away. The distance between the old G and the new one is 8 units. This is not a congruency property but it is true because it is given. You haven't altered the shape or rotatated it.

C is true by conguency. You have just shifted things 8 units. You have maintained equality and you have maintained distance between corresponding parts.

That leaves D. If the figures are regular, that will be true. If they are not regular, non corresponding external angles cannot be guaranteed to be true.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

The attached Excel file 2013 NCAA BB Tournament shows the salaries paid to the coaches of 62 of the 68 teams in the 2013 NCAA basketball tournament (not all private schools report their coach's salaries). Consider these 62 salaries to be a sample from the population of salaries of all 346 NCAA Division I basketball coaches.

Question 1. Use the 62 salaries from the TOTAL PAY column to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean salary of all basketball coaches in NCAA Division I.

xbar = $1,465,752

SD = $1,346,046.2

lower bound of confidence interval ________

upper bound of confidence interval _______

Question 2. Coach Mike Krzyzewski's high salary is an outlier and could be significantly affecting the confidence interval results. Remove Coach Krzyzewski's salary from the data and recalculate the 95% confidence interval using the remaining 61 salaries.

xbar = $1,371,191

SD = $1,130,666.5

lower bound of confidence interval _________

upper bound of confidence interval. ________

Answer:

Question 1:

lower bound of confidence interval = $1,124,027

upper bound of confidence interval = $1,807,477

Question 2:

lower bound of confidence interval = $1,081,512

upper bound of confidence interval = $1,660,870

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

The sample mean salary of 62 couches is

$\bar{x} = 1,465,752$

The standard deviation of mean salary is

$s = 1,346,046.2$

The confidence interval for the mean salary of all basketball coaches is given by

$CI = \bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } )$

Where $\bar{x}$ is the sample mean, n is the sample size, s is the sample standard deviation and $t_{\alpha/2}$ is the t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level.

The t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level is

Significance level = α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 62 - 1 = 61

From the t-table at α = 0.025 and DoF = 61

t-score = 1.999

So the required 95% confidence interval is

$CI = \bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\\\CI = 1,465,752 \pm 1.999 \cdot (\frac{1,346,046.2}{\sqrt{62} } ) \\\\CI = 1,465,752 \pm 1.999 \cdot (170948.04 ) \\\\CI = 1,465,752 \pm 341,725 \\\\LCI = 1,465,752 - 341,725 = 1,124,027 \\\\UCI = 1,465,752 + 341,725 = 1,807,477\\\\$

Question 2:

After removing the Coach Krzyzewski's salary from the data

The sample mean salary of 61 couches is

$\bar{x} = 1,371,191$

The standard deviation of the mean salary is

$s = 1,130,666.5$

The t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level is

Significance level = α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 61 - 1 = 60

From the t-table at α = 0.025 and DoF = 60

t-score = 2.001

So the required 95% confidence interval is

$CI = \bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\\\CI = 1,371,191 \pm 2.001 \cdot (\frac{1,130,666.5}{\sqrt{61} } ) \\\\CI = 1,371,191 \pm 2.001 \cdot (144767 ) \\\\CI = 1,371,191 \pm 289,678.8 \\\\LCI = 1,371,191 - 289,678.8 = 1,081,512 \\\\UCI = 1,371,191 + 289,678.8 = 1,660,870\\\\$

Which types of polygons are the faces of a tetrahedron?

valentina_108 [34]

The answer is the option A, which is: A. Equilateral triangles.

The explanation for this answer is shown below:

By definition, a tetrahedron is a solid in three dimensions that has: six sides, four vertices and four triangular faces. These faces are equilateral triangles, which means that all the sides are equal and all the interior angles measure $60$ degrees.

The tetrahedron is also called "triangular pyramid".
