Answer:

13.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

hyp² = (2nd longest side)² + (shortest side)².  Here the numbers are:

(24 cm)² = (20 cm)² + (shortest side)², or

576 - 400 = 176 = hyp²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get (shortest side) = 13.3 cm

Which is most likely the correlation coefficient for the set of data shown?
Sonja [21]

The correlation coefficient of a scatter plot with line of best fit shown will be the slope of the line.

We can eliminate last 2 choices because the line is clearly a downward sloping line and it's slope wont be positive.

From the first two, it looks like the plot's slope is very close to -1. So we take -0.91, instead of -0.35. <em>[note: 0.91 is more steeper than 0.35 (which is very relaxed)]</em>


ANSWER: -0.91

Which line is perpendicular to the line 3y=5x-1
Ainat [17]
For lines to be perpendicular their slopes have to be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically...

m1*m2=-1...in this case:

y=5x/3=1/3  so the slope of the lines is 5/3 so any line that has a slope of:

5m/3=-1, 

m=-3/5 is perpendicular to the original line...

Plz help! I'm desperate! will mark brainliest! ​
OverLord2011 [107]

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll leave the drawing part to you. However, you just have to note that if each of the tile is 1/2 ft, the height should be 5 squares and the width is 9 squares. The area of the section of the wall is calculated by multiplying the height and the width. 

                         A = H x W = (2 1/2 ft) x (4 1/2 ft) = 11.25 ft²

Consider random samples of size 50 from a population with proportion 0.15
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

a) Mean = 0.75

b) Standard error = 0.051

c) Yes                              

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 50

Sample proportion , p = 0.15

a) Mean

\mu = np = 50(0.15) = 7.5

b) Standard error

S.E = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.15(1-0.15)}{50}} = 0.051

c) Application of central limit theorem

Since the sample size is larger than 30, we cam apply central limit theorem for normal approximation.
