Answer:

Basically, a segment which connects two consecutive vertices is not a diagonal, it's actually a side of a polygon.

So, in order to get a diagonal, you need to unit two nonconsecutive vertices, that way you won't get a side but a diagonal.

Actually, a diagonal of a polygon is defined as a segment which connects two nonconsecutive vertices.

Therefore, by definition, a diagonal must connect two nonconsecutive vertices.

Anika [276]

Answer:

0.1 for each case

Step-by-step explanation:

It is interested in the mean amount of time individuals spend at the courthouse waiting to be called for jury duty. The committee randomly surveyed 81 people who recently served as jurors. The sample mean wait time was 4 hours with a sample standard deviation of 1.2 hours. Define the random variables X and $\bar{X}$ in words.

Answer:

(B)

X is the amount of time an individual waits at the courthouse to be called for service.
$\bar{X}$ is the mean wait time for a sample of individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is the amount of time for which each of the prospective juror waits at the courthouse before being called for service.

$\bar{X}$ is the mean wait time for a the given sample of individuals. In the case given,
