Answer:

  A side of the triangle is bisected

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a triangle connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. That is, it bisects the side it meets:

  A side of the triangle is bisected

_____

<em>Comment on other choices</em>

A median will be an angle bisector only if the triangle is isosceles. Likewise, it will only be perpendicular to the side if the triangle is isosceles.

There are several points called "center" of a triangle, including the centroid (on the median), the incenter, the circumcenter, and the orthocenter.

Your hourly salary increased from $15 to $22 what is the precent increase in your salary?
Elanso [62]

The percentage increase is 46%.

Original number/start = $15

End number = $22

Increase = $22 - $15 = $7

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100

Substitute in known values

% increase = 7 ÷ 15 × 100

Divide

% increase = 0.46 × 100

Multiply

% increase = 46%

The percentage increase is 46%.

What is the slant height of a square pyramid that has a surface area of 319 square feet and a side length of 11 feet?
Dafna1 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a square pyramid is the area of the square base plus the area of the four triangles made from the base and the slant height.

SA = s² + 4(sh/2)

which reduces to:

SA = s² + 2sh

You are told that s = 11 and SA = 319. You can now solve for h:

319 = 11² + 2(11)h

319 = 121 + 22h

198 = 22h

h = 9 ft (answer C)

I hope it's helpful!!

For the class of 2013's prom Norman's dress shop sold cheaper dresses for $90 each and more expensive dresses for $140 each. The
Tema [17]

Answer:

Number of cheaper dresses sold  is 35

Number of expensive  dresses sold  is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of cheaper dresses = $90

Cost of  expensive dresses = $140

Total cost of  the dresses = $5250

To Find:

Number of cheaper dress = ?

Number of expensive  dress = ?

Solution:

Let

The number of  cheaper dresses be x

The number of  expensive dresses be y

(Number of cheaper dresses X cost of cheap dress) +  (Number of Expensive dresses X cost of  expensive dress)  =  $5250

x \times90 +y \times 140 = 5250=  $5250

It is given that the 20 more of the cheaper dresses than the expensive dresses is sold

So,

number of cheaper dress  =  20  +  number of expensive dress

x = 20 + y---------------------------------------(1)

(20+y) \times90 +y \times 140 = 5250 = 5250

(20 \times 90 +y\times 90) +y \times 140= 5250

1800 + 90y+ 140y = 5250

1800 + 230y = 5250

230y =5250 -1800

230y = 3450

y = \frac{3450}{230}

y = 15

Substituting y in (1)

x = 20 +15

x= 35

Let X and Y be discrete random variables. Let E[X] and var[X] be the expected value and variance, respectively, of a random vari
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

(a)E[X+Y]=E[X]+E[Y]

(b)Var(X+Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X and Y be discrete random variables and E(X) and Var(X) are the Expected Values and Variance of X respectively.

(a)We want to show that E[X + Y ] = E[X] + E[Y ].

When we have two random variables instead of one, we consider their joint distribution function.

For a function f(X,Y) of discrete variables X and Y, we can define

E[f(X,Y)]=\sum_{x,y}f(x,y)\cdot P(X=x, Y=y).

Since f(X,Y)=X+Y

E[X+Y]=\sum_{x,y}(x+y)P(X=x,Y=y)\\=\sum_{x,y}xP(X=x,Y=y)+\sum_{x,y}yP(X=x,Y=y).

Let us look at the first of these sums.

\sum_{x,y}xP(X=x,Y=y)\\=\sum_{x}x\sum_{y}P(X=x,Y=y)\\\text{Taking Marginal distribution of x}\\=\sum_{x}xP(X=x)=E[X].

Similarly,

\sum_{x,y}yP(X=x,Y=y)\\=\sum_{y}y\sum_{x}P(X=x,Y=y)\\\text{Taking Marginal distribution of y}\\=\sum_{y}yP(Y=y)=E[Y].

Combining these two gives the formula:

\sum_{x,y}xP(X=x,Y=y)+\sum_{x,y}yP(X=x,Y=y) =E(X)+E(Y)

Therefore:

E[X+Y]=E[X]+E[Y] \text{  as required.}

(b)We  want to show that if X and Y are independent random variables, then:

Var(X+Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)

By definition of Variance, we have that:

Var(X+Y)=E(X+Y-E[X+Y]^2)

=E[(X-\mu_X  +Y- \mu_Y)^2]\\=E[(X-\mu_X)^2  +(Y- \mu_Y)^2+2(X-\mu_X)(Y- \mu_Y)]\\$Since we have shown that expectation is linear$\\=E(X-\mu_X)^2  +E(Y- \mu_Y)^2+2E(X-\mu_X)(Y- \mu_Y)]\\=E[(X-E(X)]^2  +E[Y- E(Y)]^2+2Cov (X,Y)

Since X and Y are independent, Cov(X,Y)=0

=Var(X)+Var(Y)

Therefore as required:

Var(X+Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

20 Students

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is 1 chaperone for every 4 students, and there are a total of 5 chaperones on the trip, you can use this information to know that..

If there are 5 chaperones and 4 students for each chaperone, that would give you 20 students!
