Answer:

yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

to find this answer, use the pythagoras theorem. the pythagoras theorem states that a² + b² = c².

to see if this is a right angled triangle, we will use this formula, as the pythagoras theorem only works for right angled triangles.

we are going to work out c, which is always the hypotenuse. the hypotenuse is the longest side of a triangle, that is larger than the other values. we know that the hypotenuse of this triangle is 17, so let’s see if that’s the answer we get.

calculation:

a² + b² = c²

a = 8 millimetres

b = 15 millilitres

c = ?

8² + 15² = c²

64 + 225 = c²

64 + 225 = 289.

289 = c²

√289 = c

√289 = 17.

the pythagoras theorem correctly identified the length of the hypothenuse. as i said earlier, this theorem only works on right angled triangles, therefore, this triangle is right angled.

Mr. Horn had a sheet of plywood that measured 84 inches long and 65 inches wide. He sawed th sheet of plywood in half. What was

Fofino [41]

Draw a rectangle with one side equal to 84 in. and the other side equal to 65 in. We know that area = l*w, so the area of the rectangle is 5,460 sq. in. Since Mr. Horn cut the piece of plywood in half, he produces two identical pieces of plywood, with half the amount of area as the original. So, 5,460 sq. in. divided by 2 = 2,730 sq. in.

Which of the following is not a property of a chi-square distribution?

laiz [17]

Answer:

c) Is not a property (hence (d) is not either)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the chi square distribution with k degrees of freedom has this formula

$\chi_k^2 = \matchal{N}_1^2 + \matchal{N}_2^2 + ... + \, \matchal{N}_{k-1}^2 + \matchal{N}_k^2$

Where N₁ , N₂m .... $N_k$ are independent random variables with standard normal distribution. Since it is a sum of squares, then the chi square distribution cant take negative values, thus (c) is not true as property. Therefore, (d) cant be true either.

Since the chi square is a sum of squares of a symmetrical random variable, it is skewed to the right (values with big absolute value, either positive or negative, will represent a big weight for the graph that is not compensated with values near 0). This shows that (a) is true

The more degrees of freedom the chi square has, the less skewed to the right it is, up to the point of being almost symmetrical for high values of k. In fact, the Central Limit Theorem states that a chi sqare with n degrees of freedom, with n big, will have a distribution approximate to a Normal distribution, therefore, it is not very skewed for high values of n. As a conclusion, the shape of the distribution changes when the degrees of freedom increase, because the distribution is more symmetrical the higher the degrees of freedom are. Thus, (b) is true.
