A secant and a tangent to a circle intersect in a 42-degree angle. The two arcs of the circle intercepted by the secant and the

tangent have measures in a 7:3 ratio. Find the measure of the third arc

Answer:

The measure of the third arc is 150\°

Step-by-step  explanation:

step 1

we know that

The measurement of the external angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

Let

x----> the greater arc of the circle intercepted by the secant and the tangent

y----> the smaller arc of the circle intercepted by the secant and the tangent

42\°=\frac{1}{2}(x-y)

84\°=(x-y) ----> equation A

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{7}{3}

x=\frac{7}{3}y -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

84\°=(\frac{7}{3}y-y)

84\°=(\frac{4}{3}y)

y=3*84\°/4=63\°

Find the value of x

x=\frac{7}{3}(63\°)=147\°

step 2

Find the measure of the third arc

Let

z------> the measure of the third arc

we know that

x+y+z=360\° -----> complete circle

substitute the values and solve for z

147\°+63\°+z=360\°

z=360\°-(147\°+63\°)=150\°

Single-sample t test and paid days off: The number of paid days off (e.g., vacation, sick leave) taken by eight employees at a s
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

A. µ is the population average number of paid days off taken by employees that the company.

Null Hypothesis: µ=15 days

Alternate Hypothesis: µ≠15 days

B. one-sample t-test

C. We are unsure if it meets the conditions for a one-sample t-test

D. t=-0.79178; df=7

Step-by-step explanation:

For the null and alternate hypotheses, you want to first define what µ represents. Next, you state them, the null hypothesis being equal to the previously known average, and the alternate hypothesis being greater than, less than, or not equal to the previous average, selecting one depends on the context in the problem.

A one-mean t-test would be used as we are looking to compare the mean of a data set, as well as the fact that we do not know the population standard deviation.

When conducting these tests, we need to ensure that three conditions are being met. The first is random, which means that the data set is randomly gathered, or not, the data here does not seem to be random, which may be concerning. Next is independence, this is done when we survey less than 10% of the overall population, in this case it is a small company, so we do not know if it is less than 10% of the population. Last is normality, the data set is not sufficiently large (greater than 30 people surveyed) so we cannot use the central limit theorem to justify that the data is normal. We can use a normality plot, but when the data is placed on a normality plot most of the data appears to be linear, but the 27 day data point does not seem to be normal, so we cannot fully ensure that it is normal. Based on the data not following these conditions, we have concerns about proceeding with the test, we will therefore have to proceed with caution.

For the last part, use that T-test function on a calculator with statistics functions. Remember to include the degrees of freedom in the answer. (The degrees of freedom is one less than the sample size).

a rectangle is made by joining two squares adjacent to each other as shown below. if one squared has an area of 144 squared cent
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Hello! After reading your question I have deduced that the correct answer is 288² cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I came to this conclusion was as follows:

Firstly:

If said rectangle is two squares put side by side (adjacent), then a valid assumption is that both squares are the same size.

This is because all four sides of a square have to be equal.

Thus if the two squares are joined together on one side, then all the other sides of both the squares will be the same length.

Thus both of the squares are going to be the same size, so they will have the same area.

Secondly:

If the area of one square is 144² cm then the area of the other square should also be 144² cm.

Thus if you combine the areas of both the squares, that make up the rectangle, you are left with the area of the rectangle being 288² cm.

I hope this helped!
