In order to prove that traingle ADC is congruent to triangle ABC by SAS, we would need to show that

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

D) Angle DAC is congruent to Angle BAC

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The triangles ABC and ADC are congruent by SAS postulate.

SAS postulate means two corresponding sides are congruent to each other and the included pair of angles are also congruent to each other.

From the figure, consider the triangles ABC and ADC.

AB = AD (Given)

AC = AC ( Reflexive property. Side AC is a common side to both triangles)

Now, the pair of angles included between these two pair of sides are angle BAC and angle DAC.

So, in order to prove the two triangles congruent by SAS postulate, we need to prove angle DAC congruent to angle BAC. Therefore, the correct option is option D.

Among a sample of 55 male soldiers the average shower time was found to be 2.95 minutes and the population standard deviation is

Oksanka [162]

Answer: -3.0593

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic for the difference between two population mean (when population standard deviations $\sigma_1\ \&\ \sigma_2$ are known ) is given by :-

$z=\dfrac{\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}}$

where ,

$n_1\ \&\ n_2$ = Sample sizes taken from two populations 1 and 2.

$\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2$ = Difference between two Sample mean.

$\sigma_1\ \&\ \sigma_2$ = Standard deviations of populations 1 and 2.

As per given , we have

$n_1=55\ \&\ n_2=58$

$\overline{x}_1=2.95\ \&\ \overline{x}_2=3.3$

$\sigma_1=0.65\ \&\ \sigma_2=0.56$

We assume that the data follows a normal distribution.

Then, the test statistic will be :-

$z=\dfrac{2.95-3.3}{\sqrt{\dfrac{(0.65)^2}{55}+\dfrac{(0.56)^2}{58}}}\\\\=\dfrac{-0.35}{\sqrt{0.0130887}}\\\\=\dfrac{-0.35}{0.1144059}=3.05928278174\approx-3.0593$
