The answer to what the length of the leg would be is 15.

You would do this problem by first writing down your Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Since we have our hypotenuse which is c^2 in our equation, we would write or insert the number we have.

So our equation could be that a or b leg equals 20, it doesn’t matter which one.

So we could write, 20^2 + b^2 = 25^2. So we don’t know what b leg is.

First we should figure out what 20^2 is and what 25^2 is.

20^2 is 400 and 25^2 is 625.

Our equation now comes to 400 + b^2 = 625.

Now we take 400 and subtract it from
625 -> 400 + b^2 = 625
-400.

So 625 - 400 comes out to be 225.

Lastly instead of squaring or putting 225 to the second power, we do the opposite.

So instead of squaring 225 we must square root 225. √ 225 .

The square root of √ 225 comes out to be 15.

Answer:

3.6666 (I didn't round)

Repeating decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

2/3

is the same as

2÷3

Therefore:

3 2/3 = 3+(2÷3) = 3 + 0.6666 =3.6666

A repeating decimal is one that keeps going and repeats a pattern. This is decimal keeps going and repeats a pattern so it is a repeating decimal.

A terminating decimal is one that terminates or ends. This decimal does not terminate or end. It keeps going.

Hope this helped.

Ten engineering schools in the United States were surveyed. The sample contained 250 electrical engineers, 80 being women; 175 c
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

There is a significant difference between the two proportions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for difference between population proportions is:

CI=(\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p_{1})}{n_{1}}+\frac{\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p_{2})}{n_{2}}}

Compute the sample proportions as follows:

\hat p_{1}=\frac{80}{250}=0.32\\\\\hat p_{2}=\frac{40}{175}=0.23

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 90% confidence interval is:

z_{0.10/2}=z_{0.05}=1.645

Compute a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of women in these two fields of engineering as follows:

CI=(\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p_{1})}{n_{1}}+\frac{\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p_{2})}{n_{2}}}

     =(0.32-0.23)\pm 1.645\times\sqrt{\frac{0.32(1-0.32)}{250}+\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{175}}\\\\=0.09\pm 0.0714\\\\=(0.0186, 0.1614)\\\\\approx (0.02, 0.16)

There will be no difference between the two proportions if the 90% confidence interval consists of 0.

But the 90% confidence interval does not consists of 0.

Thus, there is a significant difference between the two proportions.
