Answer: Choice (3). Draw a circle with center A and radius equal to CB.

=======================================================

Explanation:

Your teacher wasn't clear with this, but I'm assuming the distance from B to C is greater than half of AB. Otherwise, the bisection wouldn't be possible.

Assuming this is the case, drawing a circle centered at A with the same radius, will allow us to intersect the two circles at points D and E as shown below. Segment DE is the perpendicular bisector of AB. We can prove this through the use of congruent triangles. Segment DE cuts AB into two smaller equal pieces FA and FB, so FA = FB.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis test about a population mean is done to evaluate two exclusive statements about a population in order to determine which is best supported by the sample data.

From the situations given, the correct options are

b. A recent study estimated that 20% of all college students in the United States smoke. The head of Health Services at Goodheart University suspects that the proportion of smokers may be lower there. This would require taking a sample and determining the probability of success.

c. A certain prescription allergy medicine is suppose to contain an average of 245 parts per million (ppm) of active ingredient. The manufacturer wants to check whether the mean concentration in a large shipment of pills is 245 ppm or not.

d. A report on the College Board website stated that in 2003 males scored generally higher than females on the SAT exam. An educational researcher wants to check whether this is true in her school district.
