Answer:

7.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The third longest side is also the second shortest side.

The 14 ft side of quadrilateral ABCD corresponds to the 6 ft side of quadrilateral EFGH.

14/6 = 18/x

7/3 = 18/x

7x = 18 * 3

7x = 54

x = 54/7

x = 7.7

Answer: D. 7.7 feet

Use the normal distribution and the given sample results to complete the test of the given hypotheses. Assume the results come f
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.64 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{75}}}=2.43  

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability:

p_v =P(z>2.43)=0.0075 \approx 0.008  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion for this case is higher than 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=75 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.64 estimated proportion of interest

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to verify if the true proportion is higher than 0.5:  

Null hypothesis:p =0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{0.64 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{75}}}=2.43  

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability:

p_v =P(z>2.43)=0.0075 \approx 0.008  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion for this case is higher than 0.5

Which arrangement shows 318 , 3.7, 334 , and 3.89 in order from least to greatest?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Which arrangement shows 3\frac{1}{8}, 3.7, 3\frac{3}{4}, and 3.89 in order from least to greatest?"</h3><h3> </h3>

Convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers.

The steps to do this, are the following:

1. You must divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator.

2. Then you must add the quotient obtained to the whole number part.

Applying this procedure, you get that:

3\frac{1}{8}=3+0.125=3.125

3\frac{3}{4}=3+0.75=3.75

Now that you have all the numbers in decimal form, you can order from least to greatest:

3.125,\ 3.7,\ 3.75,\ 3,89

Therefore, you can conclude that the correct arrangement is:

3\frac{1}{8},\ 3.7,\ 3\frac{3}{4},\ 3,89

Simplify <br> 2/5(a+b)+3/5(a+c)
Sergeu [11.5K]
Distribute 2/5 and 3/5 into the ():
2/5(a+b)+3/5(a+c)

2/5 a+ 2/5 b+3/5 a+ 3/5 c

combine the like terms:
2/5 a+3/5 a= 5/5 a --> 1a --> a

new simplified equation:
a+2/5 b+3/5 c

Answers:

x = angle MLN = 35 degrees

angle FLJ = 55 degrees

=================================================

Explanation:

This problem is fairly tricky if you're not sure what to look for. A slight clue is that they've marked a red point that strangely doesn't have a label on it. It's a fairly small point but it's definitely there if you look closely. While this point's location isn't exactly what we want, we're fairly close. Start at point L and draw a ray through the center point P. Ray LP will intersect the circle at point A, as shown in the diagram below.

From here, draw segments FA and MA. Now notice that inscribed angle LMF = 55 and inscribed angle FAL both subtend the same arc. The term "subtend" basically means "cut off". This arc that the inscribed angles subtend is minor arc FL. A minor arc is where you travel the shorter path around the circle, which indicates its measure is less than 180 degrees.

Since inscribed angles LMF and FAL subtend the same minor arc, this makes the inscribed angles to be congruent.

In short: angle FAL is 55 degrees

----------------------

Segment LA goes through the center P. Through Thales theorem, we know that inscribed angle LFA is 90 degrees. Consequently, we can determine that inscribed angle FLA is 90-55 = 35 degrees.

Segment JL is tangent to the circle, meaning that angle ALJ is 90 degrees. So angle FLJ is 90-35 = 55 degrees.

It's not a coincidence that angle FLJ, angle FAL, and angle LMF are the same measure.

----------------------

We found that angle FAL was 55 degrees. Applying Thales theorem again shows that angle MAF is 90 degrees. Therefore, angle LAM is 90-55 = 35 degrees.

Focus now on triangle LMA. This is also a right triangle (Thales Theorem). The upper acute angle we found was angle LAM = 35, so the lower acute angle is ALM = 55.

Then we can find angle MLN = (angle ALN) - (angle ALM) = 90 - 55 = 35

In short, angle MLN = 35 degrees

Similar to the previous section, it is not a coincidence that angles LFM, LAM and MLN are the same measure.

------------------------

As an alternative, since we know angle FLJ = 55, and angle FLM is 90 degrees, this means...

(angle FLJ)+(angle FLM) + (angle MLN) = 180

55 + 90 + angle MLN = 180

145 + angle MLN = 180

angle MLN = 180 - 145

angle MLN = 35 degrees
