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>

Which statements are true regarding the sides and angles of the triangle? Select three options. Line segment X Y is the longest
sineoko [7]

Answer:

B. Angle X is the largest angle.

C. Angle Z is greater than angle Y.

E. Line segment X Z is the shortest side.

Step-by-step explanation:

YZ = 2n, XZ = n - 2, XY = n + 4 and n ≥ 5.

YZ - XZ = 2n - (n - 2) = n + 2. but n ≥ 5, hence YZ - XZ = n + 2 ≥ 7.

YZ > XZ

YZ - XY = 2n - (n + 4) = n - 4. but n ≥ 5, hence YZ - XY = n - 4 ≥ 1

YZ > XY

XY - XZ = n + 4 - (n - 2) = 6: XY > XZ

Therefore:

YZ > XY > XZ

The angles are proportional to their opposite sides, hence:

∠X > ∠Z > ∠Y

A. Line segment XY is the longest side.

This is wrong because YZ is the longest side.

B. Angle X is the largest angle.

This is correct. ∠X is the largest angle because it is opposite to the longest side (YZ)

C. Angle Z is greater than angle Y.

This is correct. ∠Z is opposite to the side XY while ∠Y is opposite to the side XZ

D. Line segment XZ is opposite the largest angle.

This is wrong. ∠X is the largest angle which is opposite to the longest side (YZ)

E. Line segment X Z is the shortest side.

This is correct
