Answer: The length of AM is 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given that the point M is the midpoint of segment AB, where

AM = 50 – 3x and MB = –20 + 4x.

We are to find the length of AM.

Since M is the midpoint of the segment AB, so we must have

$AM=MB\\\\\Rightarrow 50-3x=-20+4x\\\\\Rightarrow 4x+3x=50+20\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=70\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{70}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow x=10.$

Therefore, the value of AM is calculated as follows :

$AM=50-3x=50-3\times10=50-30=20.$

Thus, the length of AM is 20 units.

What is the center of the circle for this equation:<br> (x + 3)² + (y - 2)² = 25

Ksju [112]

The formula for the equation of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) is the center of the circle and <em>r</em> is the radius.

So we need to find the values of (h, k) in order to find the center of the circle.

If we simply line up the equation of our given circle with our formula,

we can see that -h = 3 or h = -3 and -k = -2 so k = 2.

So now we have our answer.

center ⇒ (-3, 2)

What is the measure of angle X? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. Round only your answer to the nearest hundredth. ° tr

klemol [59]

I have attached a diagram of the triangle described.

We can use any of the trigonometric functions to find angle x. Remember, SOH CAH TOA. And since we're finding the angle, we'll need to use an inverse trigonometric function. For this problem, I'll be using the sine function.

sin(x) = 84 / 85

x = sin^-1(84/85)

x = 81.2026 degrees (feel free to round to however many places you need)

Hope this helps!! :)

Which of the following is not a property of a chi-square distribution?

laiz [17]

Answer:

c) Is not a property (hence (d) is not either)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the chi square distribution with k degrees of freedom has this formula

$\chi_k^2 = \matchal{N}_1^2 + \matchal{N}_2^2 + ... + \, \matchal{N}_{k-1}^2 + \matchal{N}_k^2$

Where N₁ , N₂m .... $N_k$ are independent random variables with standard normal distribution. Since it is a sum of squares, then the chi square distribution cant take negative values, thus (c) is not true as property. Therefore, (d) cant be true either.

Since the chi square is a sum of squares of a symmetrical random variable, it is skewed to the right (values with big absolute value, either positive or negative, will represent a big weight for the graph that is not compensated with values near 0). This shows that (a) is true

The more degrees of freedom the chi square has, the less skewed to the right it is, up to the point of being almost symmetrical for high values of k. In fact, the Central Limit Theorem states that a chi sqare with n degrees of freedom, with n big, will have a distribution approximate to a Normal distribution, therefore, it is not very skewed for high values of n. As a conclusion, the shape of the distribution changes when the degrees of freedom increase, because the distribution is more symmetrical the higher the degrees of freedom are. Thus, (b) is true.
