18 cm is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two smaller sides is greater that the largest side.

It is given that the two sides of a triangle measure 8 cm and 15 cm.

Case 1: Let 8 cm and 15 cm. are smaller side. So,

Third side < 8 + 15

Third side < 23

It means 3rd side must be less than 23

Case 2: Let 15 cm is the largest side.

15 < Third side + 8

15 - 8 < Third side

7 < Third side

It means 3rd side must be greater than 7.

Since only 18 is less than 23 and greater than 7, therefore the possible length of third sides is 18 cm and option 2 is correct.

Answer:

The confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the Democratic incumbent are 0.725 and 0.775.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

Of the 500 surveyed, 350 said they were going to vote for the Democratic incumbent.

This means that $n = 500, \pi = \frac{350}{500} = 0.75$

80% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.2$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9$ , so $Z = 1.28$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.75 - 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{500}} = 0.725$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.75 + 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{500}} = 0.775$

The confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the Democratic incumbent are 0.725 and 0.775.

Slope: -3/5;y-intercept: -1/5

astraxan [27]

Answer:

y= -3/5x - 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula:

y=mx+b

m = slope, which is -3/5 in your case

b= your y-intercept, which is -1/5 in your case

Simply plug it in and you get your answer.

Solve using quadratic formula. 7x^2-12x+3=0

vazorg [7]

X = (12 +- sqrt (144 -4(7)(3))/14
x = (12 + - sqrt (144 - 84))/14
x = (12 + - sqrt(60))/14
x = (12 + - 2sqrt 15))/14
x = (6 + - sqrt 15) / 7
