A triangle has sides that measure 5 units, 7 units, and 8 units. Is this a right triangle

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leto [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given lengths if we say this is a right triangle then 8 would be length of hypotenuse

From the Pythagorean theorem 

8^2 = 5^2 + 7^2

64 = 25 + 49

64 = 74 is not a correct equation so the triangle is not a right triangle for the given lengths

The mean cost of a five pound bag of shrimp is 50 dollars with a variance of 64. If a sample of 43 bags of shrimp is randomly se
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

0.4122 = 41.22% probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by greater than 1 dollar

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance) \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 50, \sigma = \sqrt{64} = 8, n = 43, s = \frac{8}{\sqrt{43}} = 1.22

What is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by greater than 1 dollar?

Either it differs by 1 dollar or less, or it differs by more than one dollar. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1.

Probability it differs by 1 dollar or less:

pvalue of Z when X = 50+1 = 51 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 50 - 1 = 49.

X = 51

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{51-50}{1.22}

Z = 0.82

Z = 0.82 has a pvalue of 0.7939

X = 49

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{49-50}{1.22}

Z = -0.82

Z = -0.82 has a pvalue of 0.2061

0.7939 - 0.2061 = 0.5878

Probability it differs by more than 1 dollar:

p + 0.5878 = 1

p = 0.4122

0.4122 = 41.22% probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by greater than 1 dollar

A line is represented by the equation 2x + 3y = 15. What is another way to represent the same line, for solving Y ? Help is need
Lady bird [3.3K]

The another way to represent the same line, for solving y will be:  y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Given equation of the line is:  2x+3y=15

"Solving y" means <u>we need to get</u> y <u>alone in left side.</u> So, we will eliminate all other terms except y from the left side.

First we will <u>subtract 2x </u>from both sides. So, we will get......

2x+3y-2x=15-2x\\ \\ 3y=15-2x

Now, we will <u>divide both sides by 3</u> for getting y alone. So.....

\frac{3y}{3}= \frac{15-2x}{3}\\ \\ y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x

Thus, the another way to represent the same line, for solving y will be:  y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x
