Answer:

B) A one-sample t-test for population mean would be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is shown in the image below.

The marketing executive is interested in comparing the mean number of sales of this year to that of previous year.

The marketing executive already has the value of mean from previous year and uses a sample to calculate the mean and standard deviation of sales for the current year.

Since, data is being collected for one sample only this limits us to chose between one sample test for mean. So now the possible options are one sample t-test for population mean and one sample t-test for population mean.

If we read the statement we can see that we have the value of sample mean and sample standard deviation. Value of population standard deviation is unknown. In cases where value of population standard deviation is not known and sample standard deviation is given, t-test is used.

Therefore, we can conclude that A one-sample t-test for population mean would be used.

A wire b units long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into an equilateral triangle and the other is bent into a circle.

1. Divide wire b in parts x and b-x.

2. Bend the b-x piece to form a triangle with side (b-x)/3

There are many ways to find the area of the equilateral triangle. One is by the formula A= $\frac{1}{2}sin60^{o}side*side= \frac{1}{2} \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} (\frac{b-x}{3}) ^{2}= \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}$
A= $\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}( b^{2}-2bx+ x^{2} )=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}$

Another way is apply the formula A=1/2*base*altitude,
where the altitude can be found by applying the pythagorean theorem on the triangle with hypothenuse (b-x)/3 and side (b-x)/6

3. Let x be the circumference of the circle.

$2 \pi r=x$

so $r= \frac{x}{2 \pi }$

Area of circle = $\pi r^{2}= \pi ( \frac{x}{2 \pi } )^{2} = \frac{ \pi }{ 4 \pi ^{2} }* x^{2} = \frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}$

4. Let f(x)= $\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}+\frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}$

be the function of the sum of the areas of the triangle and circle.

5. f(x) is a minimum means f'(x)=0

f'(x)= $\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x$ =0

$\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x=0$

$(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) x=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b$

$x= \frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }$

6. So one part is $\frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }$ and the other part is b- $\frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }$

PLEASE HELP ME!!! Find m (angle) LMN

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

108°

Step-by-step explanation:

hii!

lmn would be equal to 85 plus 23.

this is because those angles both make up the big angle lmn, so the answer is 108 degrees.

hope this helped you :)

Sorry, cannot just give you answers without your input.
I'd suggest that you look up online or in your textbook each of the items under "Type of Boundary." The results you'd get will likely help you fill in the rest of the boxes.
