Answers:

RS = 13

ST = 8

==================================================

Explanation:

S is between R and T. I'm assuming also that S is on line RT.

If that's the case, then by the segment addition postulate, we can say  RS+ST = RT.

In other words, the longest segment RT is broken into two smaller pieces RS and ST (not necessarily equal but they may be). Gluing the pieces back together should get us the original longest segment.

---------------

Apply substitution and solve for x.

RS+ST = RT

(2x+5)+(3x-4) = 21

(2x+3x)+(5-4) = 21

5x+1 = 21

5x = 21-1

5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4

--------------------

If x = 4, then,

  • RS = 2x+5 = 2*4+5 = 13
  • ST = 3x-4 = 3*4-4 = 8

Then notice how RS+ST = 13+8 = 21, which is is the length of RT

This confirms that RS+ST = RT is true and it confirms our answers.

A psychologist obtains a random sample of 2020 mothers in the first trimester of their pregnancy. The mothers are asked to play
leva [86]

Answer:

First of all, we need to determine the system of hypothesis, which must have a null and alternative hypothesis.

In all hypothesis proof procedure, we must work with the null one, rejecting it or accepting it. If we reject the null hypothesis, it will mean that our principal hypothesis is true.

According to the problem, the null hypothesis must be: H_{o} : u = 100; because it says that 100 is the normal mean that is used.

The alternative hypothesis must be: H_{a} : u > 100; because the question is asking if there's enough evidence to say that they children have a higher IQ than 100.

Then, we must calculate the P-value, which is the probability value that we are gonna use to accept or reject the null hypothesis. This P-value we can calculate it with the formula: Z=\frac{x-u}{\frac{o}{\sqrt{n} } }; where x is the sample mean, u is the hypothetical mean parameter, o is the sample deviation and n is the sample.

Extracting all values from the problem: x = 104.3; u = 100; o = 14 and n = 20.

Applying all values to the formula: Z=\frac{104.3 - 100}{\frac{14}{\sqrt{20} } } = \frac{4.3}{\frac{14}{ 4.5} }=\frac{4.3}{3.1}=1.4

Then, this Z-value will give us the P-value by using the Z-table with the 0.05 level of significance. In table attached, we can see that the result is 0.9265. However, the P-value is 1 - 0.9265 = 0.735. We need to do this subtraction because, the result 0.9265 belong to the bigger area (as it's shown is the image in blue colour), and we need the smaller area, which belong to the 0.05 level of significance.

<em>In this problems, if the P-value is more than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is accepted. If the P-value is less than the level of significance the null hypothesis is rejected.</em>

Therefore, there is no enough evidence to say that the sample children have higher IQs, because the P-value is higher than the level of significance. (0.735>0.05).

The sum of four consecutive odd integers is -72. Write an equation to model this situation, and ind the values of the four integ
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

  • equation: (x-3) +(x-1) +(x+1) +(x+3) = -72
  • values: -21, -19, -17, -15

Step-by-step explanation:

When dealing with consecutive integers, it often simplifies the problem to work with their average value. We know the average value of the integers in this problem is the even integer between the middle two. We can call it x, and write the equation ...

  (x-3) +(x-1) +(x+1) +(x+3) = -72

This simplifies to ...

  4x = -72 . . . . . . . we knew this before we wrote the above equation, since the sum of 4 numbers is 4 times their average.

  x = -18 . . . . . . . . the middle number of the sequence

So, the numbers are:

  • -18-3 = -21
  • -18-1 = -19
  • -18+1 = -17
  • -18+3 = -15

_____

A more conventional approach is to define the variable as the integer at one end or the other of the sequence. If we make it be the lowest number, then the equation is ...

  (x) +(x +2) +(x +4) +(x +6) = -72

and that simplifies to ...

  4x +12 = -72 . . . . . collect terms

  4x = -84 . . . . . . . . subtract 12

  x = -21 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Now, the other three numbers are found by adding 2, 4, and 6 to this one.
