Answer:

  • x = 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>As the triangles are similar, their corresponding sides will have same ratio:</u>

  • left short side /right short side = left long side / right long side

or simpler

  • s₁/s₂ = l₁/l₂

<u>Substitute values to find the missing one:</u>

  • 4/x = 10/20
  • 4/x = 1/2
  • x = 4*2
  • x = 8

The missing side is 8 inches long

Frank owns a clothing store that sells shorts and graphic T-shirts. He sells the shorts for $14 each and the T-shirts for $6 eac
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Let s be the number of shorts and t be the number of T-shirts. s shorts cost $12s and t T-shirts cost $5t, then you have to find min and max value for the function f(s,t)=12s+5t.

The shaded domain (see image) is defined from the system of unequalities. The green lines are the graphs of function f(x,y) and it intersects domain in first point (0,5) (the minimum point) and in last point (20,0) (the maximum point). So,

Select all of the following statements that are true:
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

B. You shouldnt take a random sample of more than 5% of the population size.

Step-by-step explanation:

B. You shouldnt take a random sample of more than 5% of the population size. This is True, so as to avoid the research analysis to be more complex to interpret and analyzed

However, the following are not true statements:

A. Random samples only generate unbiased estimates of long-run proportions, not long-run means. This is False, as there may be sampling error, when picking the sample, which will lead to bias estimates in the long run proportions

C. There is no way that a random sample of 100 people can be representative of all adults living in the United States. This is False, as using the right factors such as gender, age, income, etc, in selecting the sample, 100 people is enough to use as sample of adults living in the United States

D. If this question is voted out, the alternate option is "larger samples are always better than smaller samples, regardless of how the sample was collected." This is False, larger samples are not always better than smaller samples. In fact, they are often difficult to analyze and interpret.

E. Nonrandom samples are always poor representations of the population: This is False, depending on the expected outcome of the research study. Some research studies required the research to use Nonrandom samples to reach verifiable conclusion.
