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.

Fine the value of the x in the triangle shown below.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a triangle must add to 180 degrees

Therefore,

79+73+x=180

Combine like terms by adding 79 and 73

152+x=180

To solve for x, get x by itself. Since 152 is being added to x, subtract 152 from both sides. This will cancel the 152, and leave x by itself.

152-152+x=180-152

x=28

So, x is equal to 28 degrees

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.64(14.7)}{3})^2 =64.57 \approx 65$

So the answer for this case would be n=65 rounded up to the nearest integer

And the sample size would decrease by 160-65=95 subjects

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

ME represent the margin of error

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

2) Solution to the problem

Since the new Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$
