Answer:

<h2>The distance from the pitcher's mound and to second base is 37.99 approximately.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The diamond is a square, which in this case has 50 feet long each side, and from home to pitcher is 38 feet. Notice that home is a vertex of the square and the pitcher's mound is the intersection of the diagonals, where they cut half.

We can find the distance from the pitcher to first base using Pythagorean's Theorem, where 50 feet is the hypothenuse.

50^{2} =38^{2}+x^{2}\\x^{2}=50^{2}-38^{2}\\x=\sqrt{2500-1444}\\ x=\sqrt{1056}\\ x \approx 32.5 \ ft

Therefore, the distance from the pitcher to first base is 32.5 feet, approximately.

Now, we can use again Pythagorean's Theorem to find the distance from pitcher to second base, where the hypothenuse is 50 feet.

50^{2}=32.5^{2}+y^{2}\\y^{2}=50^{2}-32.5^{2}\\y=\sqrt{2500-1056.25}\\ y =\sqrt{1443} \approx 37.99

Therefore, the distance from the pitcher's mound and to second base is 37.99 approximately.

<em>(this results make sense, because the diagonals of a square intersect at half, that means all bases have the same distance from pitcher's mound, so the second way to find the distance asked in the question is just using theory)</em>

The answer would be C (P=T/2). This can be explained by examining the ratio. If you were to put in the answer of T = 12, then you would be looking for T/2 or 6, assuming we're giving them each half of the amount original held by grandmother.

A newspaper published an article about a study in which researchers subjected laboratory gloves to stress. Among 260 vinyl​ glov
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pop 1 n₁ = 260, p₁ = 58% = 0.58

pop 2 n₂ = 260, p₂ = 8% = 0.08

Null hypothesis: p₁ ≤ p₂

Alternative hypothesis: p₁ > p₂

The test statistic : p₁-p₂ / √{p-sample (1 - p-sample) (1/n₁ + 1/n₂)}

where p-sample is sample proportion = p₁n₁ +p₂n₂ / n₁+n₂

Thus, p-sample = 0.58x260 +0.08x260 / 260+260 =150.8+20.8 / 520 = 171.6 / 520 = 0.33.

Thus, the test statistic is (0.58 - 0.08) / √[0.33 (1-0.33) (0.0038+0.0038)

  = 0.5 / √[0.33(0.67) (0.0076)

= 0.5 / √0.00168036

= 0.5 / 0.04099

= 12.20

P = P(Z>12.20) = 1-P(Z≤12.20) at a significance level of 0.1= the p-value is less than the hypothesized thus, we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis and concluding that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak than latex gloves.

kirza4 [7]

The volume of this container is 5990 feet³.

<h3>How to calculate the volume?</h3>

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

π = 3.14

r = radius = 17.5/2 = 8.75

h = 24.5

The volume will be:

= πr²h

= 3.14 × 8.75² × 24.5

= 5990 ft³

Therefore, the volume of this container is 5990 feet³.
