9514 1404 393

Answer:

  15 in, 36 in, 39 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells us that for short side x, the relation is ...

  (2x +9)² = (2x +6)² +x²

  4x² +36x +81 = 4x² +24x +36 +x²

  x² -12x -45 = 0 . . . . . subtract the left-side expression

  (x -15)(x +3) = 0 . . . . factor

  x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . the positive value of x that makes a factor zero

The side lengths of the triangle are 15 inches, 36 inches, and 39 inches.

Consider the null hypothesis, H0: µ = 4,000, at the 1% level of significance. If the z-test statistic is calculated to be 6.00,
kow [346]

Answer:

Option B) Reject null hypothesis      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We are given the null hypothesis:

H_0 = 4,000

\alpha = 0.01

z_{stat} = 6.00

Two tailed z-test

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.01 level of significance } = \pm 2.58

Since,  

The calculated z-statistic does not lie in the acceptance region, we fail to accept and reject the null hypothesis.

Left-tailed z-test

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.01 level of significance } = -2.58

Since,  

z_{stat} > z_{critical}

We fail to accept and reject the null hypothesis.

Right-tailed z-test

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.01 level of significance } = 2.58

Since,  

z_{stat} > z_{critical}

We fail to accept and reject the null hypothesis.

How would you solve 3/4 over 1/2 as a ratio
miskamm [114]

Answer:

  3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A couple of different methods are used for dividing fractions.

1. "Invert and multiply". Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

  (3/4) / (1/2) = (3/4) × (2/1)

  = (3·2)/(4·1) = 6/4 = 3/2

__

2. Make the denominators the same and use the ratio of numerators.

  (3/4) / (1/2) = (3/4) / (2/4) = 3/2

_____

For these fractions, you can recognize that 3/4 is 1/4 more than 1/2, and that 1/4 is half of 1/2. That means 3/4 is half-again as much as 1/2, so is 1 1/2 = 3/2 times 1/2. This tells you the ratio (3/4) : (1/2) = 3/2.

__

Along the lines of the above, you can write the ratio as ...

  (3/4) : (1/2)

and multiply by 4 to get

  = (3/4)×4 : (1/2)×4 = 3 : 2
