Kelly was asked to determine whether △KLN is congruent to △MNL. She noted that KL ≅ MN, LM ≅ KN, and that the three pairs of cor
responding angles are congruent. She said that this is only five pairs of congruent corresponding parts, so it is not possible to conclude that △KLN is congruent to △MNL. Do you agree with Kelly's reasoning? Complete the explanation.

Answer:
<h2>Kelly is wrong, with this congruent parts, we can conclude that triangles are congruent.</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
To demonstrate congruent triangles, we need to use the proper postulates. There are at least 5 postulates we can use.
- Angle-Angle-Side Theorem (AAS theorem).
- Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem (HL theorem).
- Side-Side-Side Postulate (SSS postulate).
- Angle-Side-Angle Postulate (ASA postulate).
- Side-Angle-Side Postulate (SAS postulate).
In this case, Kelly SAS postulate, because the corresponding sides-angles-sides are congruent, i.e., KL ≅ MN and LM ≅ KN, also, all corresponding angles are congruent.
So, as you can see, only using SAS postulate, the congruency can be demonstrated. (Refer to the image attached to see an example of SAS postulate)

Answer:
The correct option is;
c. Because the p-value of 0.1609 is greater than the significance level of 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We conclude the data provide convincing evidence that the mean amount of juice in all the bottles filled that day does not differ from the target value of 275 milliliters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the values
μ = 275 mL
275.4
276.8
273.9
275
275.8
275.9
276.1
Sum = 1928.9
Mean (Average), = 275.5571429
Standard deviation, s = 0.921696159
We put the null hypothesis as H₀: μ₁ = μ₂
Therefore, the alternative becomes Hₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ₂
The t-test formula is as follows;
Plugging in the values, we have,
Test statistic = 1.599292
at 7 - 1 degrees of freedom and α = 0.05 = ±2.446912
Our p-value from the the test statistic = 0.1608723≈ 0.1609
Therefore since the p-value = 0.1609 > α = 0.05, we fail to reject our null hypothesis, hence the evidence suggests that the mean does not differ from 275 mL.
