Answer:

34.3 in, 36.3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Hypothenus = 50 in

1st leg (L₁) = L

2nd leg (L₂) = 2 + L

Thus, we can obtain the value of L by using the pythagoras theory as follow:

Hypo² = L₁² + L₂²

50² = L² + (2 + L)²

2500 = L² + 4 + 4L + L²

2500 = 2L² + 4L + 4

Rearrange

2L² + 4L + 4 – 2500 = 0

2L² + 4L – 2496 = 0

Coefficient of L² (a) = 2

Coefficient of L (n) = 4

Constant (c) = –2496

L = –b ± √(b² – 4ac) / 2a

L = –4 ± √(4² – 4 × 2 × –2496) / 2 × 2

L = –4 ± √(16 + 19968) / 4

L = –4 ± √(19984) / 4

L = –4 ± 141.36 / 4

L = –4 + 141.36 / 4 or –4 – 141.36 / 4

L = 137.36/ 4 or –145.36 / 4

L = 34.3 or –36.3

Since measurement can not be negative, the value of L is 34.3 in

Finally, we shall determine the lengths of the legs of the right triangle. This is illustrated below:

1st leg (L₁) = L

L = 34.4

1st leg (L₁) = 34.3 in

2nd leg (L₂) = 2 + L

L = 34.4

2nd leg (L₂) = 2 + 34.3

2nd leg (L₂) = 36.3 in

Therefore, the lengths of the legs of the right triangle are 34.3 in, 36.3 in

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that mean (μ) = 23 hours, standard deviation (σ) = 10 hours

a) The population is a group of self employed home based workers while the variable is the number of hours worked per week.

b) The mean of the distribution of sample means (also known as the Expected value of M) is equal to the population mean μ.

\mu_x=\mu=23\ hours

The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is called the Standard Error of M, it is given by:

\sigma_x=\sigma/\sqrt{n} =\frac{10}{\sqrt{100} }=1

c) \mu_x=\mu=23\ hours

\sigma_x=\sigma/\sqrt{n} =\frac{10}{\sqrt{1000} }=0.32

d) The sample size has no effect on the mean, hence increasing the sample size does not change the mean.

The square root of sample size is inversely proportional to the standard deviation therefore increasing the sample size reduces the standard deviation.
