<h3>Answer: -3.71</h3>

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

Explanation:

You'll need to use a T table to answer this question. Your stats textbook should have such a table in the back appendix section.

If your textbook doesn't have the proper table, or you don't have your textbook with you, then I recommend searching online for "t table" and you should have tons of free options to choose from.

In the table you'll look for the degrees of freedom row 6, since the degrees of freedom are equal to n-1. In this case, n = 7.

In this row, locate the column labeled "alpha = 0.005" and you'll be looking at "one tail". The value in this row and column is roughly 3.707

Since we're doing a left tailed test and we want P(t < C) = 0.005, where C is the critical value we're after. This must mean C < 0. So C = -3.707 approximately. Round this to two decimal places and we end up with -3.71

All angles of a triangle have to equal 180 degrees. The top and bottom triangle are the same. So the first angle tells you 32 degrees. The second one has a little square which means 90 degrees. So 180 - 32 - 90 = 58.
So the angle A is 58. Since the top triangle and bottom triangle have the same angle measurement then angle C = 58 degrees.

Richard and Teo have a combined age of 26 . Richard is5 years older than twice Teo's age. How old are Richard and Teo?

loris [4]

Answer:Teo's age = 7 years ,Richard's age = 19 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let Teo's age be represented as x

Such that Richard 's age = 5 + 2x

and their combined ages equaling 26 can be expressed as

x + 5+ 2x = 26

Step 2 --- SOLVING

x + 5+ 2x = 26

3x+ 5= 26

3x= 26-5

3x= 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Teo's age = 7 years

Richard's age = 5+2x= 5 + 14= 19 years

2. The Welcher Adult Intelligence Test Scale is composed of a number of subtests. On one subtest, the raw scores have a mean of

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 37.31 b) 42.70 c) 0.57 d) 0.09

Step-by-step explaanation:

We are regarding a normal distribution with a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 6, i.e., $\mu$ = 35 and $\sigma$ = 6. We know that the probability density function for a normal distribution with a mean of $\mu$ and a standard deviation of $\sigma$ is given by

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2\sigma^{2}}]$

in this case we have

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}6}\exp[-\frac{(x-35)^{2}}{2(6^{2})}]$

Let $X$ be the random variable that represents a row score, we find the values we are seeking in the following way

a) we are looking for a number $x_{0}$ such that

$P(X\leq x_{0})$ = $\int\limits^{x_{0}}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.65$ , this number is $x_{0}$ =37.31

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction qnorm(0.65, mean = 35, sd = 6)

b) we are looking for a number $x_{1}$ such that

$P(X\leq x_{1})$ = $\int\limits^{x_{1}}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.9$ , this number is $x_{1}$ =42.70

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction qnorm(0.9, mean = 35, sd = 6)

c) we find this probability as

$P(28\leq X\leq 38)$ = $\int\limits^{38}_{28} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.57$

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction pnorm(38, mean = 35, sd = 6) -pnorm(28, mean = 35, sd = 6)

d) we find this probability as

$P(41\leq X\leq 44)$ = $\int\limits^{44}_{41} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.09$

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction pnorm(44, mean = 35, sd = 6) -pnorm(41, mean = 35, sd = 6)

The perimeter of a square is 36 feet. If you increase the length by 3 feet and decrease the width

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

84 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the perimeter is 36 feet, and all the sides are the same length, then all the sides are 9. if we increase the length by 3 feet and decrease the width by 2 feet then we are left with 12 * 7 = 84
