Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 13 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample

of Element X is 60 grams, how much of the element would remain after 30 years, to the nearest whole number?

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

m∠P ≅ m∠L; this can be confirmed by translating point P to point L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle angle (AA) similarity postulate state that two triangles are similar if two of their corresponding angle is similar. The corresponding angle for each point of the triangles will be:

∠L=∠P

∠Q=∠M

∠N=∠R

Since the 2nd triangle made from dilation, it should maintain its orientation.

Option 1 is true, ∠P corresponds to ∠L. If you move/translate point P to point L, you can confirm it because their orientation is the same.

Option 2 is false, the triangle will be similar if ∠P=∠N but you can't confirm it with translation alone.

Option 3 and 4 definitely wrong because it speaking about length, not the angle.

In order to determine the average price of hotel rooms in Atlanta, a sample of 64 hotels was selected. It was determined that th

deff fn [24]

Answer:

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the average room price is significantly different from $108.50

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 64

The average price is $\= x = \$ 112$

The population standard deviation is $\sigma = \$ 16$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.05$

The population mean is $\mu = \$ 108.5$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 108.50$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu \ne 108.50$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$

=> $z = \frac{112 - 108.50 }{ \frac{ 16}{\sqrt{64} } }$

=> $z = 1.75$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to 1.75 is

$P( Z > 1.75) = 0.040059$

Generally p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = 2 * P( Z > 1.75)$

=> $p-value = 2 * 0.040059$

=> $p-value = 0.08012$

From the values obtained we see that $p-value > \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the average room price is significantly different from $108.50
