First we dra a triangle:
To prove that the triangles are similar we have to do the following:
Considet triangles ABC and ACD, in this case we notice that angles ACB and ADC are equal to 90°, hence they are congruent. Furthermore angles CAD and CAB are also congruent, this means that the remaining angle in both triangles will also be congruent, therefore by the AA postulate for similarity we conclude that:
Now consider triangles ABC and BCD, in this case we notice that angles ACB and BDC are congruent since they are both equal to 90°. Furthermore angles ABC and DBC are also congruent, this means that the remaining angle in both triangles will, once again, be congruent. Hence by the AA postulate we conclude that:
With this we conclude that traingles BCD and ACD are both similar to triangle ABC, and by the transitivity property of similarity we conclude that:
Now that we know that both triangles are similar we can use the following proportion:
this comes from the fact that the ratios should be the same in similar triangles.
From this equation we can find h:
Plugging the values we have for x and y we have that h (that is the segment CD) has length:
Therefore, the length of segment CD is:
Answer:
b. Student-t with 48 degrees of freedom
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we need to use a Two Sample t Test: equal variances.
Assumptions
When running a two-sample equal-variance t-test, the basic assumptions are "that the distributions of the two populations are normal, and that the variances of the two distributions are the same".
Let and
be the sample means of two sets of data of size
and
respectively. We assume that the distribution's of x and y are:
Both are normally distributed but without the variance equal for both populations.
The system of hypothesis can be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
We can define the following random variable:
The random variable t is distributed , with the degrees of freedom
And the pooled variance can be founded with the following formula:
So on this case the best answer would be :
b. Student-t with 48 degrees of freedom
