If both triangles are similar then ratio of sides will be same.

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{12}{14}=\dfrac{y}{21}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 12(21)=14y$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 14y=252$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto y=\dfrac{252}{14}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto y=18$

Answer:

y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{BC}{EF}$ = $\frac{AC}{DF}$ , substitute values

$\frac{y}{12}$ = $\frac{21}{14}$ ( cross- multiply )

14y = 252 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y = 18

Answer:

a)0.6192

b)0.7422

c)0.8904

d)at least 151 sample is needed for 95% probability that sample mean falls within 8$ of the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let z(p) be the z-statistic of the probability that the mean price for a sample is within the margin of error. Then

z(p)= $\frac{ME*\sqrt{N}}{s }$ where

Me is the margin of error from the mean

s is the standard deviation of the population

N is the sample size

z(p)= $\frac{8*\sqrt{30}}{50 }$ ≈ 0.8764

by looking z-table corresponding p value is 1-0.3808=0.6192

z(p)= $\frac{8*\sqrt{50}}{50 }$ ≈ 1.1314

by looking z-table corresponding p value is 1-0.2578=0.7422

z(p)= $\frac{8*\sqrt{100}}{50 }$ ≈ 1.6

by looking z-table corresponding p value is 1-0.1096=0.8904

Minimum required sample size for 0.95 probability is

N≥ $(\frac{z*s}{ME} )^2$ where

N is the sample size

z is the corresponding z-score in 95% probability (1.96)

s is the standard deviation (50)

ME is the margin of error (8)

then N≥ $(\frac{1.96*50}{8} )^2$ ≈150.6

Thus at least 151 sample is needed for 95% probability that sample mean falls within 8$ of the population mean.

Middle school problem attached :D

suter [353]

Answer: $638.40

Step-by-step explanation:

45% converted to a decimal is 0.45

0.45 of $1200 = 0.45* $1200 (of in this case means multiply)

0.45 * $1200= $440

Because they said 11% of remaining salary, we have to do:

$1200-$440=$760

Now 11% converted to a decimal is 0.11

5% converted to a decimal is 0.05

So 0.11+0.05

0.11+0.05= 0.16

Now 0.16 *$760=$121.60

Now we find the remaining amount so we subtract: $760-$121.60= $638.40

So our answer is $638.40 left
