Answer:

h = 20.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply trigonometric ratio formula to find h.

Reference angle = 40°

Opposite side length = 17 cm

Adjacent side = h

Thus:

Tan (40) = 17/h

h × tan (40) = 17/h × h (multiplication property of equality)

h × tan(40) = 17

(h×tan(40)/tan(40) = 17/tan(40) (division property of equality)

h = 20.3 cm (1 decimal place)

Randomization is important to ensure that both groups are roughly equivalent regarding students’ preparedness, anxiety levels, and study skills.

<h3>What is randomization in an experiment?</h3>

Randomization is when subjects in an experiment are placed in either the control group or the treatment group without any structure. They are placed in either groups randomly. The purpose of randomization is to ensure that subjects in either group are homogenous.

"a pollster wishes to estimate the number of left-handed scientists. how large of a sample is needed in order to be 98% confiden

nadezda [96]

The sample size should be 250.

Our margin of error is 4%, or 0.04. We use the formula

$\text{ME}=z\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

To find the z-score:
Convert 98% to a decimal: 0.98
Subtract from 1: 1-0.98 = 0.02
Divide both sides by 2: 0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1: 1-0.01 = 0.99

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value has a z-score of approximately 2.33. Using this, our margin of error and our proportion, we have:

$0.04=2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.08(1-0.08)}{n}}
\\
\\0.04=2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}}$

Divide both sides by 2.33:
$\frac{0.04}{2.33}=\sqrt{\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}}$

Square both sides:
$(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2=\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}$

Multiply both sides by n:
$(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2n=0.08(0.92)$

Divide both sides to isolate n:
$\frac{0.08(0.92)}{(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2}=n
\\
\\249.73=n
\\n\approx 250$

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,-2) and has a slope of -1/2

vampirchik [111]

Answer: y=-1/2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use point slope formula you get

y+2=-1/2(x+4)

simplify that in y=mx+b and you get

y=-1/2x-4

Answer:

For two rectangles to be similar, their sides have to be proportional (form equal ratios). The ratio of the two longer sides should equal the ratio of the two shorter sides.
