serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Center: (4,8)

Radius: 2.5

Equation: $(x-4)^2+(y-8)^2=6.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

It was given that; the endpoints of the longest chord on a circle are (4, 5.5) and (4, 10.5).

Note that the longest chord is the diameter;

The midpoint of the ends of the diameter gives us the center;

Use the midpoint formula;

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

The center is at; $(\frac{4+4)}{2} ,\frac{5.5+10.5}{2}=(4,8)$

To find the radius, use the distance formula to find the distance from the center to one of the endpoints.

The distance formula is;

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$r=\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(10.5-8)^2}$

$r=\sqrt{0^2+(2.5)^2}$

$r=\sqrt{0^2+(2.5)^2}=2.5$

The equation of the circle in standard form is given by;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

We substitute the center and the radius into the formula to get;

$(x-4)^2+(y-8)^2=2.5^2$

$(x-4)^2+(y-8)^2=6.25$

On day two of a study on body temperatures, 106 temperatures were taken. Suppose that we only have the first 10 temperatures to

NemiM [27]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of all body temperatures is between 97.76 ºF and 99.12 ºF

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 10 - 1 = 9

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 9 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975$ . So we have T = 2.2622

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.2622*0.3 = 0.68

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 98.44 - 0.68 = 97.76 ºF

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 98.44 + 0.68 = 99.12 ºF

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of all body temperatures is between 97.76 ºF and 99.12 ºF

Use complete sentences to describe how measurements of position in two directions (vertical and horizontal) are sufficient enoug

posledela

Answer:

We know that our world is in 3 dimensions i.e. there are three directions and so, three co-ordinates are required.

Now, if we have to find a position of an object lying on a flat surface, this means that there are only two directions and so, two co-ordinates are needed.

So, we can define the domain ( xy-axis ) in such a way that there are two axis - horizontal where right area have positive values & left area has negative values and vertical where upward side have positive values & downward side has negative values.

For e.g. if we want to find the position of a pen on the table. We will make our own xy-axis and see in which quadrant the pen lies.

Let us say that the pen lies at (2,3), this means that the position of pen is in the first quadrant or it is 2 units to the right of y-axis and 3 units up to the x-axis.

This way we can see that two directions are sufficient to find the position of an object placed on a flat surface.
