Answer:

1.) 20.2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) You need to use the distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Find the distance of A to B first:

$(-2,2)(3,2)\\\\\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(2-2)^2}\\\\\sqrt{(5)^2+(0)^2}\\\\\sqrt{25} =5$

B to C:

$(3,2)(-1,-5)\\\\\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(-5-2)^2}\\\\\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-7)^2}\\\\\sqrt{16+49}\\\\\sqrt{65} =8.06=8.1$

C to A:

$(-1,-5)(-2,2)\\\\\sqrt{(-2+1)^2+(2+5)^2}\\\\\sqrt{(-1)^2+(7)^2}\\\\\sqrt{1+49}\\\\\sqrt{50}=7.07=7.1$

Add distances to find the perimeter:

$5+8.1+7.1=20.2$

2.) Part A:

You need to use the mid-point formula:

$midpoint=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} ,\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2} )$

$(3,2)(7,11)\\\\(\frac{3+7}{2},\frac{2+11}{2})\\\\(\frac{10}{2},\frac{13}{2})\\\\m=( 5,6.5)$

Part B:

1. Use the slope-intercept formula:

$y=mx+b$

M as the slope, b the y-intercept.

Find the slope of the two points A and B using the slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{rise}{run}$

Insert slope as m into equation.

Take point A as coordinates $(x,y)$ and insert into the equation. Solve for the intercept, b:

$(y)=m(x)+b$

Insert the value of b into the equation.

2. Use the mid-point coordinate. Take the slope.

If you need to find the perpendicular bisector, you will take the negative reciprocal of the slope. Switch the sign and flip it. Ex:

$\frac{1}{2} =-\frac{2}{1}=-2\\$

Insert the new slope into the slope-intercept equation as m.

Take the mid-point coordinate as (x,y) and insert into the equation with the new points. Solve for b.

Insert the value of b.

A 12-member jury is to be selected from 15 men and 13 women. Find the probability that this jury has 6 or 7 males.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The right solution is "0.5545".

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

The probability of having 6 or 7 males will be:

= $P(6 \ males)+ P(7 \ males)$

= $\frac{15_C_6\times 13_C_6}{28_C_{12}} + \frac{15_C_7\times 13_C_5}{28_C_{12}}$

= $\frac{5005\times 1716+6435\times 1287}{30421755}$

= $\frac{16870425}{30421755}$

= $0.5545$

Find the measure of angle K.

BabaBlast [244]

Every triangle have three angles that add up to 180°. With this information, we can find out the missing angle.

The sum of three angles should add up to 180°.

148° + 11° + K = 180°

Where k is the missing angle.

Solve for K.

Combine like terms.

148° + 11° + K = 180°
159° + K = 180°

Subtract both sides by 159°.

159° + K = 180°
159° - 159° + K = 180° - 159°
K = 21°

So, the missing length is 21°.

Slices of pizza for a certain brand of pizza have a mass that is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 67.7 grams an

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

a. s.e. = 0.338

b. The probability of finding a random slice of pizza with a mass of less than 67.2 grams is 0.5871 or 58.71%

c. The probability of finding a 20 random slices of pizza with a mean mass of less than 67.2 grams is 0.0694 or 6.94%

d. The sample mean of 62.75 would represent the 15th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question properly:

μ of the mass of slices of pizza for a certain brand = 67.7 grams

σ of the mass of slices of pizza for a certain brand = 2.28 grams

2. For samples of size 20 pizza slices, what is the standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample mean?

Let's recall that the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean is called the standard error of the mean and its formula is:

μσs.e.= √σ/n, where n is the sample size.

s.e. = √2.28/20

s.e. = 0.338

3. What is the probability of finding a random slice of pizza with a mass of less than 67.2 grams?

Let's find the z-score for X = 67.2, this way:

z-score = (X - μ)/σ

z-score = (67.2 - 67.7)/2.28

z-score = 0.5/2.28

z-score = 0.22 (rounding to the next hundredth)

Now, using the z-table, let's find p, the probability:

p (z = 0.22) = 0.5871

The probability of finding a random slice of pizza with a mass of less than 67.2 grams is 58.71%

4. What is the probability of finding a 20 random slices of pizza with a mean mass of less than 67.2 grams?

Let's use the central limit theorem to find the z-score, this way:

z-score = X - μ/s.e

z-score = 67.2 - 67.7/0.338

z-score = -0.5/0.338

z-score = - 1.48

Now, using the z-table, let's find p, the probability:

p (z = -1.48) = 0.0694

5. What sample mean (for a sample of size 20) would represent the bottom 15% (the 15th percentile)?

For p = 0.150, let's find the z-score:

z-score = - 2.17

z-score = X - μ/s.e

- 2.17 = (X - 67.7)/2.28

- 4.95 = X - 67.7

X = 67.7 - 4.95

X = 62.75 (rounding to the next hundredth)

The sample mean of 62.75 would represent the 15th percentile
