Answer:

This explanation is not correct

Explanation:

Significance level is the probability that the null hypothesis rejected is in fact true. If we say there is a significance level of 0.10 or 10%(α=0.10 level) then there is a 10% chance of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis when there is actually no difference.

If we wish to reach a conclusion on rejection or acceptance of the null hypothesis, we could use the p value(the probability that observed results or more extremee results are true given null hypothesis)which we compare with the significance level to conclude. If the significance level is 0.10 and p value is 0.07(since p value is less than significance level) , we reject the null hypothesis and vice versa.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

(a) 23, 35, 28, 33, 5, 12, 40, 25, 20, 18, 1, 16

1, 5, 12, 16, 18, 20 23, 25, 28, 33, 35, 40

n = 12 M = (20 + 23)/ 2 = 21.5

Q1 = (12 + 16) / 2 = 14 Q3 = (28 + 33) /2 = 30.5

(b) 22, 33, 25, 28, 5, 12, 35, 23, 20, 18, 1, 40, 16

1, 5, 12, 16, 18, 20 | 22 | 23, 25, 28, 33, 35, 40

n = 13 M = 22 Q1 = 14 Q3 = 30.5

(c) 20, 28, 23, 25, 3, 5, 33, 22, 18, 16, 40, 1, 35, 12

1, 3, 5, 12, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, 25, 28, 33, 35, 40

n = 14 M = (20 + 22)/2 = 21 Q1 = 12 Q3 = 28

(d) 20, 28, 23, 25, 3, 5, 30, 22, 18, 40, 16, 35, 1, 33, 12

1, 3, 5, 12, 16, 18, 20 | 22 | 23, 25, 28, 30, 33, 35, 40

n = 15 M = 22 Q1 = 12 Q3 = 30

A 20 foot ladder is resting against the side of the house the base of the latter is 4 feet away from the house approximately how
notka56 [123]

The ladder resting against the house forms a triangle similar to the one in the image below

To answer this question you must use Pythagorean theorem

a^{2} +b^{2}=c^{2}

a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)

c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

In this case...

a = x

b = 4

c = 20

^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem

x^{2} +4^{2} =20^{2}

solve for x

x^{2} + 16 = 400

x^{2} = 384

x = 8√6

or

x ≈ 19.5959....

Hope this helped!
