anzhelika [568]

Answer:

If the width is 5 cm and the length is 4 cm it satisfies both parts.

6 x 4 = 24

24 - 5 = 19

5 x 4 = area of 20

A demographer wants to measure life expectancy in countries 1 and 2. Let μ1 and μ2 denote the mean life expectancy in countries
Art [367]

Answer:

For this case we want to test if life expectancy in country 1 is more than 10 years lower than in country 2, (alternatibe hypothesis), so then the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 \leq \mu_2 -10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 > \mu_2 -10

Or equivalently:

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \leq 10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 - \mu_2 >10

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to test if life expectancy in country 1 is more than 10 years lower than in country 2, (alternatibe hypothesis), so then the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 \leq \mu_2 -10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 > \mu_2 -10

Or equivalently:

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \leq 10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 - \mu_2 >10

What is the arc measure for WX <br> X=10 btw
Allushta [10]

Answer:

  106°

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercepted arc is double the measure of the inscribed angle intercepting it. Each of the angles V and Y is 53°, so arc WX is 2×53° = 106°.

(09.01 HC)<br> Prove that the two circles shown below are similar. (10 points)
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Proved

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<u>Circle C</u>

R = 4 --- radius

(x,y) = (-3,1) --- center

<u>Circle E</u>

r= 3

(x,y) = (4,9) --- center

Required

Prove their similarity

Translate circle C 8 units up;

The rule is:

(x,y) \to (x,y+8)

So, we have:

(-3,1) \to (-3,1+8)

(-3,1) \to (-3,9)

Translate circle C' 7 units right;

The rule is:

(x,y) \to (x+7,y)

So, we have:

(x,y) \to (-3+7,9)

(x,y) \to (4,9)

<em>At this point, both circles now have the same center at (4,9)</em>

The next step is to dilate circle E by 4/3

This will only affect radius and not the center of E

The rule is:

r' = r * \frac{4}{3}

r' = 3 * \frac{4}{3}

r' = 4

So, we have:

R = r' = 4 -- equal radii

(x,y) \to (4,9) --- equal center
