The correct answer is b, 7 meters, because perimeter is l + l + w + w ( length + length + width + width ). 19 + 19 = 38, that’s one side now we have to find the other side. 7 + 7 = 14, 38 + 14 = 52 or 38 + 7 = 45, 45 + 7 = 52.

For any kite, we have two pairs of congruent adjacent sides. In general, the kite would have sides of x, x, y , y. In this case, x = 19 is known while y is unknown.

The four sides add up to 52, so

x+x+y+y = perimeter

19+19+y+y = 52

38+2y = 52

2y+38-38 = 52-38 .... subtract 38 from both sides

2y = 14

2y/2 = 14/2 ... divide both sides by 2

y = 7

Therefore the opposite side of the 19 meter side is 7 meters

Determine the critical value or values for a one-mean z-test at the 1% significance level if the hypothesis test is right-tailed

kifflom [539]

Answer:

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

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq \mu_o$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > \mu_o$

For this case the significance is 1%. So we need to find a critical value in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.99 of the area in the left and 0.01 in the right and for this case this critical value is:

$z_{crit}= 2.326$
