Please consider the attached image for complete question.

We have been given that measure of arc WY is 76° and and measure of arc XZ is 112°. We are asked to find the difference of of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY.

First of all we will find the measure of angle WPY using intersecting secants theorem. Intersecting secants theorem states that measure of angle formed by two intersecting secants inside a circle is half the sum of intercepting arcs.

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(\widehat{WY}+\widehat{XZ})

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(76^{\circ}+112^{\circ})

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(188^{\circ})

m\angle WPY=94^{\circ}

We can see that angle WPY and angle XPY are linear angles, so they will add up-to 180 degrees.

m\angle WPY+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}

94^{\circ}+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}

94^{\circ}-94^{\circ}+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}-94^{\circ}

m\angle XPY=86^{\circ}

Now we need to find difference of both angles as:

m\angle WPY-m\angle XPY=94^{\circ}-86^{\circ}

m\angle WPY-m\angle XPY=8^{\circ}

Therefore, the difference of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY is 8 degrees.

Jay estimates that a basketball weights about .5 pounds. Shawna estimates that a basketball weights about.05. Whose estimate is
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Jay's estimate is closer to the actual weight of the basketball

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard weight of an NBA basketball is 1.4 pounds.

Judging the accuracy of Jay's and Shawna's answer based on their percentage error when compared with the standard, we have that Jay's answer has a lower error as shown below

Error  = (Standard value - Estimated value)/ Standard Value ×100

Error in Jays answer = \frac{1.4 - 0.5}{1.4} × 100 = 64.28 %

Error in Shawna's answer = \frac{1.4 - 0.05}{1.4} × 100 = 96.42%

From this, It is obvious that Jay's answer has a lower percentage error when compared to the actual value.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

x =  \frac{22}{3}

<h3>alternative form:</h3>

x = 7 \frac{1}{3}  \: or \: x = 7.33333333333

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

2(3x + 1) = 17 - 3( x - 17) \\ distribute \\  \\ 6x + 2 = 17 - 3x  + 51 \\ add \: 3x \: from \: both \: sides \\  \\ 9x + 2 = 17  +  51 \\ add \: 17 \: to \: 51 \\  \\ 9x + 2 = 68 \\ subtract \: 2 \: from \: both \: sides \\  \\ 9x = 66 \\  divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 9 \\  \\ x =  \frac{22}{3}

When determining how well an observed set of frequencies fits an expected set of frequencies, what is the test statistic
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: \chi^2 test statistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chi-square (\chi^2  ) test is a non-parametric statistical test(also known as Goodness of fit test) which is used to determine if a distribution of observed frequencies differs from the expected frequencies.

Chi-square statistic uses either nominal (categorical) or ordinal level data.

Hence, When determining how well an observed set of frequencies fits an expected set of frequencies, the test statistic is \chi^2 test statistic.
