The formula for the volume of a pyramid is v=1/3(bh)h so it should be 1/3(16.7×16.7)×18.5=1719.82

ΔEFG ~ ΔLMN. Find the similarity ratio of ΔEFG to ΔLMN.

Basile [38]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{FG}{MN}$ = $\frac{4}{2}$ = $\frac{2}{1}$

Thus the ratio of Δ EFG to Δ LMN = 2 : 1 → C

the length of a rectangular building is 6 feet less than 3 times t he width. The perimeter is 120 feet. Find the width and the l

garri49 [273]

Call the width x. Note that the length is 3x-6. We know that double the width plus double the length is 120, so we write an equation:

$2(x)+2(3x-6)=120$
$2x+6x-12=120$
$8x-12=120$
$8x=132$
$x=16.5$
If x is 16.5, the width is 16.5, and the length is $3 \cdot 16.5 - 6 = 43.5$ .

In 2002, the mean age of an inmate on death row was 40.7 years with a standard deviation of 9.6 years according to the U.S. Depa

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The <em>95% confidence interval</em> for the current mean age of death-row inmates is between 42.23 years and 35.57 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>confidence interval</em> of the mean is given by the next formula:

$\\ \overline{x} \pm z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ [1]

We already know (according to the U.S. Department of Justice):

The (population) standard deviation for this case (mean age of an inmate on death row) has a standard deviation of 9.6 years ( $\\ \sigma = 9.6$ years).
The number of observations for the sample taken is $\\ n = 32$ .
The sample mean, $\\ \overline{x} = 38.9$ years.

For $\\ z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}$ , we have that $\\ \alpha = 0.05$ . That is, the <em>level of significance</em> $\\ \alpha$ is 1 - 0.95 = 0.05. In this case, then, we have that the <em>z-score</em> corresponding to this case is:

$\\ z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}} = z_{1-\frac{0.05}{2}} = z_{1-0.025} = z_{0.975}$

Consulting a cumulative <em>standard normal table</em>, available on the Internet or in Statistics books, to find the z-score associated to the probability of, $\\ P(z$ , we have that $\\ z = 1.96$ .

Notice that we supposed that the sample is from a population that follows a <em>normal distribution</em>. However, we also have a value for n > 30, and we already know that for this result the sampling distribution for the sample means follows, approximately, a normal distribution with mean, $\\ \mu$ , and standard deviation, $\\ \sigma_{\overline{x}} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

Having all this information, we can proceed to answer the question.

Constructing the 95% confidence interval for the current mean age of death-row inmates

To construct the 95% confidence interval, we already know that this interval is given by [1]:

$\\ \overline{x} \pm z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

That is, we have:

$\\ \overline{x} = 38.9$ years.

$\\ z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}} = 1.96$

$\\ \sigma = 9.6$ years.

$\\ n = 32$

Then

$\\ 38.9 \pm 1.96*\frac{9.6}{\sqrt{32}}$

$\\ 38.9 \pm 1.96*\frac{9.6}{5.656854}$

$\\ 38.9 \pm 1.96*1.697056$

$\\ 38.9 \pm 3.326229$

Therefore, the Upper and Lower limits of the interval are:

Upper limit:

$\\ 38.9 + 3.326229$

$\\ 42.226229 \approx 42.23$ years.

Lower limit:

$\\ 38.9 - 3.326229$

$\\ 35.573771 \approx 35.57$ years.

In sum, the 95% confidence interval for the current mean age of death-row inmates is between 42.23 years and 35.57 years.

Notice that the "mean age of an inmate on death row was 40.7 years in 2002", and this value is between the limits of the 95% confidence interval obtained. So, according to the random sample under study, it seems that this mean age has not changed.
