Answer:

The sides of the triangle are:

$3x = 3(8)=24$

$x-1=8-1=7$

$3x+1=3(8)+1=25$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the length of its sides.

As the sides are given

3x+1

so the equation of the perimeter becomes

$P=3x+\left(x-1\right)+\left(3x+1\right)\:$

P = 56m

$56=3x+\left(x-1\right)+\left(3x+1\right)$

$3x+x+3x-1+1=56$

$7x-1+1=56$

$7x=56$

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{56}{7}$

$x=8$

Now finding the sides

$3x = 3(8)=24$

$x-1=8-1=7$

$3x+1=3(8)+1=25$

Therefore, the sides of the triangle are:

$3x = 3(8)=24$

$x-1=8-1=7$

$3x+1=3(8)+1=25$

Answer:

The sides are 24cm, 7cm, and 25cm

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+x-1+3x+1=56 <---- First we combine like terms (the 1's cancel out)

7x/7=56/7 <--- Divide by 7 to isolate the variable

x=8 <--- Now that we've solved for x we need to plug it back into each side

3(8)=24

(8)-1=7

3(8)+1=25

24+25+7=56 <---- Make sure it all adds up to 56

Hope this helps :)

A certain geneticist is interested in the proportion of males and females in the population who have a minor blood disorder. In

lord [1]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of males and females who have the blood disorder is [-0.064 , 0.014].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain geneticist is interested in the proportion of males and females in the population who have a minor blood disorder.

A random sample of 1000 males, 250 are found to be afflicted, whereas 275 of 1000 females tested appear to have the disorder.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the difference between population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p_1$ = sample proportion of males having blood disorder= $\frac{250}{1000}$ = 0.25

$\hat p_2$ = sample proportion of females having blood disorder = $\frac{275}{1000}$ = 0.275

$n_1$ = sample of males = 1000

$n_2$ = sample of females = 1000

$p_1$ = population proportion of males having blood disorder

$p_2$ = population proportion of females having blood disorder

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used Two-sample z proportion statistics.

So, 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population proportions, ( $p_1-p_2$ ) is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ < ${(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ ) = 0.95

P( $(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ < ( $p_1-p_2$ ) < $(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for ( $p_1-p_2$ ) =

[ $(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ , $(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ ]

= [ $(0.25-0.275)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{1000}+ \frac{0.275(1-0.275)}{1000}} }$ , $(0.25-0.275)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{1000}+ \frac{0.275(1-0.275)}{1000}} }$ ]

= [-0.064 , 0.014]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of males and females who have the blood disorder is [-0.064 , 0.014].

Find the equation of the line through point (2,2) and parallel to y=x+4. Use a forward slash (i.e.”/“) for fractions (e.g. 1/2 f

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The equation of the line is, y = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The constraints of the required linear equation are;

The point through which the line passes = (2, 2)

The line to which the required line is parallel = y = x + 4

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope, therefore, we have;

The slope of the line, y = x + 4 is m = 1

Therefore, the slope of the required line = 1

The equation of the required lime in point and slope form becomes;

y - 2 = 1 × (x - 2)

∴ y = x - 2 + 2 = x

The equation of the required line is therefore, y = x
