We have to determine the length of segment CE if AE = 15 inches and ED = 5 inches and EB = 3 inches.

Since ,we can observe that AB and CD are chords intersecting at point E.

Therefore, by intersecting chord theorem which states:

" When two chords intersect each other inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal"

So, $AE \times EB= CE \times ED$

$15 \times 3= CE \times 5$

$45= CE \times 5$

$CE = \frac{45}{5}$

CE = 9 inches.

So, the measure of segment CE is 9 inches.

So, Option B is the correct answer.

Answer:

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value between c and d is given by:

$P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}$

A particular employee arrives at work sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.

We can consider 8 am = 0, and 8:30 am = 30, so $a = 0, b = 30$

Find the probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.

Between 15 and 25, so:

$P(15 \leq X \leq 25) = \frac{25 - 15}{30 - 0} = 0.3333$

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a) c) μ = 16.4.

b) d) μ > 16.4.

c) a) μ < 16.4.

d) c) μ ≠ 16.4.

e) d) right; left; both.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Test if it is getting worse, so at the alternative hypothesis we test if the mean is of greater than 16.4 inches, but at the null hypothesis we test if it is still of 16.4 options, so option C.

Question b:

At the alternative hypothesis we test if the mean is of greater than 16.4 inches, as said above, so the answer is given by option d.

Question c:

Dying down, so if the mean is lower than 16.4 inches, so option a.

Question d:

Don't know, so just test if it is different, which includes both lower or greater, so the correct answer is given by option c.

Question e:

Test if more -> right, so on question b) is a right tailed test.

Test if less -> left, so on question c) is a left tailed test.

Different -> both sides, so on question d) it is a two-tailed test.

Thus the correct answer is given by option d.

0.9(x+1.4)−2.3+0.1x=1.60.9(x+1.4)−2.3+0.1x=1.6

SIZIF [17.4K]

I assume that the given equation above is 0.9(x+1.4)−2.3+0.1x=1.6 and not 0.9(x+1.4)−2.3+0.1x=1.60.9(x+1.4)−2.3+0.1x=1.6, I think there is a typo error on this. Based on equation I assumed the answer is 2.64.Thank you for posting your question here, I hope my answer helps.
