Joel wants to fence off a triangular portion of his yard for his chickens. The three pieces of fencing he haas to use are 8 feet

Sedaia [141]

No, it will not be able to make a right triangle.

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Joel wants to fence off a triangular portion of his yard for his chickens.

The length of three peices of fencing are 8 feet , 15 feet and 20 feet

For making it a right triangle it must satisfy the "Pythagorus theorem"

Pythagorean theorem, states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of other two sides of the right-angled triangle.

For a right angled triangle with sides a, b, c

$c^2 = a^2+b^2$

Given sides are:

a = 8 feet

b = 15 feet

c = 20 feet

Substituting the values in above formula

$20^2 = 8 ^2+15^2\\\\400 = 64 + 225\\\\400\neq 289$

Since the pythogoras formula is not satisfied, the given sides cannot form a right angled triangle

Thus , No, it will not be able to make a right triangle.

A pathologist knows that 14.9% of all deaths are attributable to myocardial infarctions (a type of heart disease). (Either you h

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) The mean number is 745 and the standard deviation is 25.18.

b) 896 deaths is a significantly high number, which means that there is cause for concern.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each death, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is attributable to myocardial infarctions, or it is not. The probability of a death being attributable to myocardial infarctions is independent of other deaths. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

A value X is significantly high is:

$X > E(X) + 2\sqrt{V(X)}$

In this problem:

$p = 0.149, n = 5000$

a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of such deaths that will occur in typical region with 5000 deaths.

$E(X) = np = 5000*0.149 = 745$

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{5000*0.149*0.851} = 25.18$

The mean number is 745 and the standard deviation is 25.18.

b. In one region, 5000 death certificates are examined, and it is found that 896 deaths were attributable to myocardial infarction. Is there cause for concern? Why or why not?

Is 896 a significantly high number?

$E(X) + 2\sqrt{V(X)} = 745 + 2*25.18 = 795.36$

895 > 795.36

896 deaths is a significantly high number, which means that there is cause for concern.
