Answer:
a) x = 30°
b) mRS = x = 30°
mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°
Question:
The complete question as found on Chegg website:
In the diagram below, secants PT and PU have been drawn from exterior point P such that the four arcs
intercepted have the following ratio of measurements:
mRS : mST :MTU : mUR=1:4:4:3
(a) If mRS = x, then write an equation that could be used to solve for x
and find the value of x.
(b) State the measure of each of the four arcs.
mRS =
mST =
MTU
MUR =
Step-by-step explanation:
Find attached the diagram related to the question
mRS : mST : mTU : mUR = 1:4:4:3
Since mRS = x
Writing the ratios of the measure of angle in terms of mRS:
mST = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x
mTU = 4× mRS = 4×x = 4x
mUR= 3× mRS = 3×x = 3x
The sum of measure the 4 measures of arc = 360° (sum of angle in a circle)
mRS + mST + mTU + mUR = 360°
x + 4x + 4x + 3x = 360
12x = 360
x = 360/12
x = 30°
b) The measure of angle
mRS = x = 30°
mST = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mTU = 4x = 4(30°) = 120°
mUR = 3x = 3(30°) = 90°
Answer:
a) Standard error = 2
b) Range = (76.08, 83.92)
c) P=0.69
d) Smaller
e) Greater
Step-by-step explanation:
a) When we have a sample taken out of the population, the standard error of the mean is calculated as:
where n is te sample size (n=25) and σ is the population standard deviation (σ=10).
Then, the standard error of the classroom average score is 2.
b) The calculations for this range are the same that for the confidence interval, with the difference that we know the population mean.
The population standard deviation is know and is σ=10.
The population mean is M=80.
The sample size is N=25.
The standard error of the mean is σM=2.
The z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.
The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:
Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:
The range that we expect the average classroom test score to fall 95% of the time is (76.08, 83.92).
c) We can calculate this by calculating the z-score of X=79.
Then, the probability of getting a average score of 79 or higher is:
The approximate probability that a classroom will have an average test score of 79 or higher is 0.69.
d) If the sample is smaller, the standard error is bigger (as the square root of the sample size is in the denominator), so the spread of the probability distribution is more. This results then in a smaller probability for any range.
e) If the population standard deviation is smaller, the standard error for the sample (the classroom) become smaller too. This means that the values are more concentrated around the mean (less spread). This results in a higher probability for every range that include the mean.
