Answer: Choice C) {6, 9, 12}

=======================================================

Explanation:

Something like choice A can't form a triangle because the first two sides add to 6+9 = 15, which is not longer than the third side 15. We need to have x+y > z to be true. The same goes for choice B as well because 3+3 = 6 is too small compared to the third side 7. Choice D is similar to choice A.

In short, we can rule out choices A, B, and D.

The only thing left is choice C. Picking any two sides leads to having that sum be larger than the third side

6+9 = 15 which is larger than 12
9+15 = 24 which is larger than 6
6+15 = 21 which is larger than 9

So the conditions of the triangle inequality theorem work out here, and we have a triangle.

A grocer wanted to mix 19 liters milk of $2.2 with 1 kg cacao to make a mixture of hot chocolate. What should be the cost of mil

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

for this, I'm going to assume that the cacao powder costed $2.2. If the cacao costs $2.2 then the milk will cost $0.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtract 2.2 from 3 then you get 0.8. Also if you add 2.2 with 0.8 then you get 3. another way to simplify it is to add one zero on the end, like this 22+8=30.

In a sample of 66 cabinets, the average height was found to be 32.2in. with a standard deviation of 2.1. Give a point estimate f

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate for the population standard deviation of the height of the cabinets equals to the provided standard deviation of the cabinets. Rounding off the given standard deviation which is 2.1 to 2 decimal places as the question requires then the point estimate for the population standard deviation of the height of the cabinets is approximately 2.10 ( 2 decimal places)

What is the equation of the best-fitting regression line? Find this in two ways. First, using the regression analysis part of th

Lemur [1.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression analysis is used to infer about the relationship between two or more variables.

The line of best fit is a straight line representing the regression equation on a scatter plot. The may pass through either some point or all points or none of the points.

Method 1:

Using regression analysis the line of best fit is: $y=\alpha +\beta x+e$
