Answer:

S(-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached below,=. Frim the diagram, the coordinate of R and T are (-5, 3) and (-1, -5) respectively. If the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, the coordinate of S can be gotten using the midpoint segment formula as shown;

S(X, Y) = {(ax1+bx2/a+b), (ay1+by1/a+b)} where;

x1 = -5, y1 = 3, x2 = -1, y2 = -5, a = 3 and b =1

Substitute the values into the formula;

X = ax2+bx1/a+b

X = 3(-1)+1(-5)/3+1

X = -3-5/4

X = -8/4

X = -2

Similarly;

Y = ay2+by1/a+b

Y = 3(-5)+1(3)/3+1

Y = -15+3/4

Y = -12/4

Y = -3

Hence the coordinate of the point (X, Y) is (-2, -3)

zhenek [66]

Answer:

s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And replacing we got:

s= 0.286

And then the estimator for the standard error is given by:

SE= \frac{0.286}{\sqrt{4}}= 0.143

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following dataset given:

20.05, 20.56, 20.72, and 20.43

We can assume that the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And the standard error for this case would be:

SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

And we can estimate the deviation with the sample deviation:

s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And replacing we got:

s= 0.286

And then the estimator for the standard error is given by:

SE= \frac{0.286}{\sqrt{4}}= 0.143
