Emily says she can prove the Pythagorean Theorem using the following diagram. She explains that she can divide the squares on th

e two shorter sides into grids with equal-sized grid squares. She says she can then rearrange the grid squares to cover the area of the square on the hypotenuse, which proves that the sum of the squares on the two shorter sides equals the square on the hypotenuse. A 3 by 3 square, a 4 by 4 square, and a 5 by 5 square, put together to form a right triangle with legs 3 and 4 and hypotenuse 5. Is this a valid geometrical proof that a2 + b2 = c2 for all right triangles? Yes, because there are 9 grid squares on one side, 16 grid squares on the other side, and 25 grid squares on the hypotenuse, and 9 + 16 = 25. Yes, because it shows that you can rearrange the squares on the shorter sides to fill up the area of the square on the larger side. No, because a proof needs to have equations in order to be valid. No, because this proof only works when you can draw grids on the squares. It does not work for all right triangles.

The following shows the monthly sales in units of six salespersons before and after a bonus plan was introduced. At 95% confiden
saw5 [17]

Answer:

it is clear that at 95% confidence that the bonus plan has increased the sales significantly, because if we observe you will notice that sales after is greater than sales before in all six cases.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 95% confidence interval as we have above is the range of values that we can say with utmost certainty and confidence that 95% chance it contains the true mean of the population. in other words we can say that a  95% confidence interval defines a range of values that you can be 95% certain contains the population mean.

Please help!! Im confused
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The answer is that you tutored for 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 total squares, so then you must divide 12 by the number of squares (6), to find the value of one square. Then, you would find that one square equals 2 hours, and since you have 2 squares that means that you tutored for 4 hours.
