Answer:

\dfrac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The number of observations is:

6, 10, 12

If we are to use a simple  random sampling without replacement, then we will have:

(6,10)  (6,12)  (10,12)

Here;

the sample size n = 2

The population size N = 3

For (6,10) ; The sample mean = \dfrac{6+10}{2}

= \dfrac{16}{2}

= 8

For (6,12) ; The sample mean = \dfrac{6+12}{2}

= \dfrac{18}{2}

= 9

For (10, 12) ; The sample mean = \dfrac{10+12}{2}

= \dfrac{22}{2}

= 11

The probability distribution of sample mean(x) is:

X           8           9          11

P(X=x)    \dfrac{1}{3}          \dfrac{1}{3}           \dfrac{1}{3}

Thus, the probability that the sample mean  is larger than 8 is:

P(X> 8) = P(X = 9) + P(X + 11)

P(X> 8) = \dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}

P(X > 8) = \dfrac{1+1}{3}

P(X> 8) = \dfrac{2}{3}

RS is the perpendicular bisector of TU. Find x and y​
german

Answer:

x = 1

y = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

is RS is ⊥ to TU then TS = US so we can use this equation to find 'x':

20x-3 = 5x+12

15x = 15

x = 1

we also know that RS intersecting with TU creates a 90° angle

if 3y = 90 then y = 30

ABCD is a rectangle and AC and BD are its diagonals. If AC = 10 cm, then BD is?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

A. 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right angled triangle, a² + b² = c² where c is the diagonal or hypotenuse. If you split a rectangle diagonally into two right angle triangles, the a and b of both triangles would be the same length. Therefore, the c or diagonals would also be the same length - 10 cm.

Hope this helps!

Here is a circle touching a square.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: 9πcm²

Step-by-step explanation: area of the square= 36cm²

Therefore, the area of one side= √area = √36 = 6cms

Since the circle is touching the sides of the square, the side of the square = the diameter of the circle

Therefore the radius of the circle= side/2 = 3cm

The formula for the ares of the circle is πr²

π*3*3 = 9πcm²

Ratio of 2:3 white flour to whole wheat flour to total of 10 cups flour
LenaWriter [7]
White flour makes up 2 / (2+3) of the total 10 cups:  2/5 of the total 10 cups.

2/5 times 10 is 4 cups.

You'll need 4 cups white flour and 6 cups whole wheat flour, making a total of 10 cups of flour.
