What numbers form a triangle

Find the measure of the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM)

Burka [1]

Answer:

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the length of the missing side is 5.4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pythagorean theorem, $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ , where c is the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side), a and b are the lengths of the other two sides. We can use this to solve for the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle shown in your question (the missing side):

$2^{2}+5^{2}=c^{2}$

This simplifies to $29=c^{2}$ . Now to solve for c (the length of the hypotenuse), we just take the square root of both sides of the equation and solve like so:

$\sqrt{29} =\sqrt{c^{2}}$

This simplifies to c≈5.4 in.

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

$\mu_{\hat p}= p$

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

$\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

(a)

The sample selected is of size <em>n</em> = 450 > 30.

Then according to the central limit theorem the sampling distribution of sample proportion is normally distributed.

The mean and standard deviation are:

$\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.75\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{450}}=0.0204$

So, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is $\hat p\sim N(0.75,0.0204^{2})$ .

(b)

Compute the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion as follows:

$P(p-0.04$

$=P(-1.96$

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion is 0.95.

(c)

The sample selected is of size <em>n</em> = 200 > 30.

Then according to the central limit theorem the sampling distribution of sample proportion is normally distributed.

The mean and standard deviation are:

$\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.75\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{200}}=0.0306$

So, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is $\hat p\sim N(0.75,0.0306^{2})$ .

(d)

Compute the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion as follows:

$P(p-0.04$

$=P(-1.31$

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion is 0.81.

(e)

The probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion if the sample size is 450 is 0.95.

And the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion if the sample size is 200 is 0.81.

So, there is a gain in precision on increasing the sample size.
