Answer:

x = 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC is a right angled triangle.

Therefore, by Pythagoras theorem:

{(10 - x)}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {5}^{2} \\ 100 - 20x +  {x}^{2}   =  {x}^{2}  + 25 \\ 100 - 20x = 25 \\  - 20x = 25 - 100 \\  - 20x =  - 75 \\ x =  \frac{ - 75}{ - 20}  \\   \:  \: \huge \red { \boxed{x = 3.75}}

David wants to complete a hypothesis test with the least amount of probability for error. If he sets the significance level to 1
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

He could increase the sample size

Step-by-step explanation:

In hypothesis testing, the error associated with the test is affected by a number of factors. The first factor is the level of significance, alpha. This is the probability of type 1 error. The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is indeed true.

The second factor is the size of the sample used. The larger the sample, the smaller the error since the characteristics of the sample will be closer to those of the entire population on which inference is being made

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is
grigory [225]

Answer:

90.3125 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the perimeter of the bottom square is 17, you can divide by four to find out what the lenght of each side is.

17/4=4.25 cm

We know the height of pyramid is 15 cm

The formula for the volume of a square pyramid is

V=a²(h/3)

V=a2(h/3)=4.252·15/3=90.3125 cm³
