Find the slope of -1 / 3 + 3 / -2

*PLEASE ANSWER DIFFICULT QUESTION* What is the area of the polygon?

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Option 4, 64 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon in the shape of a star can be made to be easier to find the area of by cutting it into triangle. For all the "point edges" of the star, we can cut them in half from the vertex to create two right-angled triangles at each edge.

The formula of the area of a triangle is bh/2: the height is given as 6cm, the base is 4cm /2 (after you cut it in half) and so is 2 cm. Since the edges can be cut into two, there are 8 right angled triangles at the edges in total.

To find the area of them:

A=8(bh/2)=8(2*6/2)=48 cm^2

However, we are still missing the part at the centre we haven't found the area of, the square. The area of a square is given by the square of the side length(4cm). Thus, A=4*4=16cm^2

Adding the areas of all the edges and the square:

48 + 16 = 64cm^2

Hence, the area of the polygon is 64cm^2

A theory predicts that the mean age of stars within a particular type of star cluster is 3.3 billion years, with a standard devi

Luden [163]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 3.3$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 3.3$

$z=\frac{3.4-3.3}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{50}}}=1.768$

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>1.768)=0.039$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=3.4$ represent the sample mean

$\sigma=0.4$ represent the population deviation for the sample

$n=50$ sample size

$\mu_o =3.3$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is higher than 3.3, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 3.3$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 3.3$

Compute the test statistic

We know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{3.4-3.3}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{50}}}=1.768$

P value

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>1.768)=0.039$

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Mr. Molesky observes a group of monkeys for 24 hours to learn about their behavior. He records how long they slept (in hours), how many bananas they ate, gender, age (in years), and the specific breed of monkey.

(a) What are the individuals in this data set?

(b) Identify the variables that were recorded, and indicate whether each one is categorical or quantitative?

Solution:

(a)

The term "individuals", in statistics, implies or denotes the objects or people included in a statistical study.

In this case it is provided that Mr. Molesky observes a group of monkeys for 24 hours to learn about their behavior.

So, the "individuals" in this data set are the monkeys.

(b)

Categorical variables belong to a certain category or label values. Such as gender of a person, state from which a person is from, color of the marble and so on.

Quantitative variables are those variables that assume numerical values and represent some sort of measurement. Such as height, weight, annual income of the people working at the same place and so on.

In this case the variables are:

Number of bananas the monkeys ate - Quantitative variable

Gender - Categorical variable

Age (in years) - Quantitative variable

Specific breed of monkey - Categorical variable
