Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is X: number of criminals in the 10 Most Wanted list that were captured in a sample of 523 suspected criminals.

The number of criminals that were captured is 172 out of 523.

To calculate the sample proportion, you have to divide the number of success, in this case, captured criminals, by the total number of criminals sampled:

^p= 172/523= 0.329

I hope this helps!

7- cup serving = 81 calories

2 cups = x calories

Answer:

  • B. (3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given vertices of triangle:</u>

  • A(1, 2), B(3, 4), C(5, 0)

<u>The centroid is found as the average of x- and y- coordinates of three vertices:</u>

  • C = ((x₁ + x₂ + x₃)/3, (y₁ + y₂ + y₃)/3)

<u>Substitute the coordinates into formula:</u>

  • C = ((1 + 3 + 5)/3, (2 + 4 + 0)/3) = (3, 2)

Correct choice is B

Show that the triangle below is not a right-angled triangle.
Paha777 [63]

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is a 90∘ angle.

(5x - 8)  + (2x - 5)  + (2x  + 3) = 180 \\ 9x - 10 = 180 \\ 9x = 190 \\ x =  \frac{190}{9}  \\ x = 21.11

(5x - 8) =97.56  \\ (2x - 5)  =37.22  \\ (2x + 3) =45.22  \\

Since None of the angels is 90° , so the triangle is not a right triangle.
