Answer:

15 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the two sides as x and y

y=x-3

P = 2w+2l

2x+2(x-3) = 54

4x-6=54

4x=60

x=15

y=12

20 POINTS !!! <br><br> Find the distance between the points (3,-4) and (5, 4)
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

d=2\sqrt{17}\approx8.2462

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, use the distance formula.

The distance formula is:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

Let (3,-4) be x₁ and y₁ and let (5,4) be x₂ and y₂. Therefore:

d=\sqrt{(5-3)^2+(4--4)^2

Simplify:

d=\sqrt{(2)^2+(8)^2

Square:

d=\sqrt{4+64}

Add:

d=\sqrt{68}

Simplify:

d=\sqrt{4\cdot17}=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{17}

Simplify:

d=2\sqrt{17}\approx8.2462

Which term describes the slope of the line below?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

negative

Step-by-step explanation:

looking at the slope of the straight line, a positive slope will begin on the 1st quadrant and end at the 3rd quadrant

meaning if the slope is negative, it will begin on the 2nd quadrant and end on the 4th quadrant

To obtain information on the corrosion-resistance properties of a certain type of steel conduit, 45 specimens are buried in soil
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

statistic value t= 5.43

p-value: < 0.00001.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To obtain information over the corrosion-resistance properties of a certain type of steel conduit a random sample of 45 specimens was taken and buried for two years.

The study variable is:

X: Max. penetration of a steel conduit.

The data of the sample

n= 45

sample mean X[bar]= 53.4

sample standard deviation S= 4.2

The conduits are manufactured to have a true average penetration of at most 50 mills, symbolically: μ ≤ 50

The hypothesis is:

H₀: μ ≤ 50

H₁: μ > 50

α: 0.05

To choose the corresponding statistic to use to study the population mean, the variable must have a normal distribution. There is no available information to check this, so I'll just assume that the variable has a normal distribution and, since the population variance is unknown and the sample is small, the statistic to use is a Student t.

Under the null hypothesis, the critical region and the p-value are one-tailed.

Critical value:

t_{n-1; 1-\alpha } = t_{44; 0.95} = 1.68

Rejection rule:

Reject the null hypothesis when t ≥ 1.68

t= \frac{53.4 - 50}{\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{45} } }

t= 5.43

The calculated value is greater than the critical value, thedecision is to rject the null hypothesis.

p-value:

P(t ≥ 5.43) = 1 - P(t < 5.43) = < 0.00001.

The p-value is less than α so the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Since the null hypothesis was rejected, then the population average of the penetration of the conduits specimens is greater than 50 mils. It is not recommendable to use these conduits.

I hope it helps!
