Answer:
it should be 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The student who weighted the rock 5 times has a 95% confidence interval of (25.2, 29.1) which is guaranteed to be more wider (less precise) than the other student who weighted the rock 20 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
What is Confidence Interval?
The confidence interval represents an interval that we can guarantee that the target variable will be within this interval for a given confidence level.
The confidence interval is given by
Where is the mean weight is the standard deviation is the critical value from t-table and n is the sample size.
The term is known as margin of error.
As the sample size is decreased the corresponding margin of error increases which results in wider confidence interval which means smaller precision.
The student who weighted the rock 5 times has a 95% confidence interval of (25.2, 29.1) which is guaranteed to be more wider (less precise) than the other student who weighted the rock 20 times.
We can say with 95% confidence that the true mean weight of the rock is within the interval of (25.2, 29.1).
We must first solve the number of fiction and nonfiction books
if x is the number of fiction books and
y is the number of nonfinction books
Then,
x + y = 400
x = y + 40
Solving the system of equations:
x = 220
y = 180
Therefore, the probability that Audrey and Ryan will get both nonfiction books is
P = 180/400 + 179/399
P = 0.8986
Answers:
A. True
B. True
C. True
D. False
E. True
In short, only answer choice D is false. Everything else is true.
=================================
Explanations:
A. The ordering of FGH and LMN is important. This is because F and L pair up as the first letters of the triple letter sequences, so do G and M as the second letters. Segment FG pairs up with LM because we're talking about the first two letters of both sequences. At the same time, FH and LN pair up because they are composed of the first and third letters of FGH and LMN respectively. Due to the triangles being similar, we can say FG/LM = FH/LN, ie we have a proportion.
------------------
B. Segment LN is proportional to FH, as explained back in part A. For example, FH could be 10 times longer than LN, making FH = 10*LN. Once the scale factor is set, you must use it for the other pairs of sides as well.
------------------
C. Similar triangles have corresponding angles that are congruent. This means F = L, G = M and H = N. Dividing the measure of F over the measure of L leads to 1 (regardless of what the angles happen to be) due to the rule x/x = 1, where x is nonzero. The same thing happens with dividing the measures of angle G over angle M. We get 1 on both sides after simplifying this given equation, so it is a true equation.
-----------------
D. Similar triangles are not congruent, so their corresponding side lengths are not congruent either.
-----------------
E. As explained back in part C, the corresponding angles are congruent because we know the triangles to be similar. The ordering of the letters matter. Angles H and N are the third letters of FGH and LMN respectively, which is why they pair up and are congruent.
