Answer:

SD = 8.4932

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sample\ Size (n) = 289

proportion, p= 52\%

Required

Determine the standard deviation (SD)

The standard deviation of a binomial distribution is calculated as thus:

SD = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Substitute values for n and p

SD = \sqrt{289 * 52\% * (1-52\%)}

Convert to decimals

SD = \sqrt{289 * 0.52 * (1-0.52)}

SD = \sqrt{289 * 0.52 * 0.48}

SD = \sqrt{72.1344}

SD = 8.49319727782

SD = 8.4932 --- <em>approximated</em>

<em>Hence, the calculated standard deviation is approximately 8.4932</em>

If m∠ATB = 20°, m∠BTD = 72°, and m∠CTD = 38°, what is m∠ATC?
Ber [7]

Answer: m∠ATC = 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we know that:

m∠ATB = 20° and  m∠BTD = 72°

then we must have that the angle between A and D, is equal to the sum of the angles between A and B, and B and D, or:

m∠ATD = m∠ATB + m∠BTD = 20° + 72° = 92°

Now, we also know that m∠CTD = 38°

And the angle:

m∠ATC  will be equal to the angle between A and D, minus the angle between C and D, or:

m∠ATC = m∠ATD - m∠CTD = 92° - 38° = 54°

four segments measure 16, 19, 43 and 50 centimeters. what is the probability that a triangle can be formed if three of these seg
neonofarm [45]
OK, a triangle first of all needs to have a certain condition satisfied. The length of one side of a triangle can not equal the length of 2 sides combined. So in a triangle a + b = c, a + b can not be less than c (a + b <span>≮ c</span>). Therefore, there are only a few possibilities that will work here. Let's find them:

16, 19, 43; no

16, 19, 50; no

16, 43, 50; yes

19, 43, 50; yes 

Since only 2 out of 4 form triangles, there is a 50% chance you'll pick the right segments to form a triangle.

Verify if 1/2x-2 and g(x) = 2x + 4 are inverses
Triss [41]
They are inverses if f( (g(x)) = x

f((g(x)) =  (1/2) (2x + 4) - 2  = x + 2 - 2 = x

so this proves that g(x) is the inverse of f(x)

the other inverse g((f(x))  should also be = x

Greg installed a circular drain that has a diameter of 4.8 inches. To the nearest tenth of an inch what is circumference of the
My name is Ann [436]

The circumference of the drain to the nearest tenth is 15.10 inches.

<h3>What is the circumference?</h3>

The circumference of the drain is the distance round the drain. Since the drain has the shape of a circle, the formula used to determine the circumference of a circle would be used to determine the circumference of the drain.

Circumference of the drain = πd

3.14 x 4.8 =15.10 inches
