If a triangle has side lengths 5 cm, 18 cm, and 12 cm, is it a right triangle?
1 answer:
Answer:
No, it's not a right triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The Pythagorean Theorem states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (longest side of a right triangle) is equal to the sum of the area of the squares from the two other sides.
2. The longest side in this "triangle" has 18 centimeters, and the other 2 sides are 5 and 12 centimeters.
3. Let's apply the Pythagorean Theorem to see if 5^2 + 12^2 = 18^2
4. Okay, so the sum of the area of the squares from the two other sides is not equal to the hypotenuse squared, therefore, it's not a right triangle.
(Plus, it's not even a triangle because 7 < x < 17, and the third "side", 18, is not between 7 and 17.)

Answer:
The 90% confidence interval for the population mean iron concentration is between 0.167 cc/m³ and 0.195 cc/m³.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .
So it is z with a pvalue of , so
Now, find M as such
In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 0.181 - 0.0140 = 0.167 cc/m³.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 0.181 + 0.0140 = 0.195 cc/m³.
The 90% confidence interval for the population mean iron concentration is between 0.167 cc/m³ and 0.195 cc/m³.
