The sides are in ratio 2:3:4

So this means
shortest side = 2x
medium side = 3x
longest side = 4x
for some number x

The shortest side is given to be 5 cm, meaning that 
2x = 5
x = 5/2 <--- divide both sides by 2
x = 2.5

Since x = 2.5, we can now say...
shortest side = 2*x = 2*2.5 = 5
medium side = 3*x = 3*2.5 = 7.5
longest side = 4*x = 4*2.5 = 10

The three sides of the triangle are: 5, 7.5, 10
They add to 5+7.5+10 = 22.5

The perimeter of this triangle is 22.5 centimeters

If the actual distribution of tusk lengths does not match the ones predicted with the H-W equation, it may indicate that natural
Anna [14]

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on what null hypothesis is under consideration.

One of the most common null hypothesis that are subject of study in a given statistical model is <em>the mean</em> predicted by the model.

In this case, the scientist probably observed that the mean of tusk lengths she obtained in a sample did not match the one predicted with the H-W equation.

So, she decided to perform a statistical study by collecting random samples and measuring the tusk lengths to determine a new possible mean and contrast it against the one predicted by the H-W equation.

<em>Let's call M the mean predicted by the H-W equation, and S the mean obtained by the scientist. </em>

If M different of S and the p-value is 0.021, that means that <em>there is at most 2.1% of probability that the difference between M and S could be due to a random sampling error. </em>

It should be kept in mind that the p-value does not represent the probability that the scientist is wrong.

ryzh [129]
Think of integers that have a sum (addition) of 8 that don't include negative integers.

4+4=8
6+2=8
5+3=8

Pat is right there are three different pairs of integers that can have a sum of 8.
