Please help me with this question

When you are given two side lengths of a right triangle, you use the Pythagorean theorem to find the third side: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse (the longest side).

All you have to do is plug the given information in:

Remember, 13 is the hypotenuse for this triangle.

12² + b² = 13²

Simplify:

144 + b² = 169

Subtract 144 from both sides:

b² = 169-144

b² = 23

Square root both sides:

b = √23

And that's your answer!

BUILDING ON THE ESSENTIAL QUESTION .<br>How are negative exponents and positive exponents related?

Trava [24]

Zero-Exponent Rule: a0 = 1, this says that anything raised to the zero power is 1. ... Negative Exponent Rule: , this says that negative exponents in the numerator get moved to the denominator and become positive exponents. Negative exponents in the denominator get moved to the numerator and become positive exponents.

Answer:

a) H0: There is no association between level of education and TV station preference (Independence)

H1: There is association between level of education and TV station preference (No independence)

b) $\chi^2 = \frac{(15-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(15-20)^2}{20}+\frac{(10-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(5-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(25-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(10-20)^2}{20} =33.75$

c) $\chi^2_{crit}=5.991$

d) Since the p value is lower than the significance level we enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that we have dependence between the two variables analyzed.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Assume the following dataset:

High school Some College Bachelor or higher Total

Public Broadcasting 15 15 10 40

Commercial stations 5 25 10 40

Total 20 40 20 80

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:

Part a

H0: There is no association between level of education and TV station preference (Independence)

H1: There is association between level of education and TV station preference (No independence)

The level os significance assumed for this case is $\alpha=0.05$

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}$

Part b

The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula $E_i = \frac{total col * total row}{grand total}$

And the calculations are given by:

$E_{1} =\frac{20*40}{80}=10$

$E_{2} =\frac{40*40}{80}=20$

$E_{3} =\frac{20*40}{80}=10$

$E_{4} =\frac{20*40}{80}=10$

$E_{5} =\frac{40*40}{80}=20$

$E_{6} =\frac{20*40}{80}=10$

And the expected values are given by:

High school Some College Bachelor or higher Total

Public Broadcasting 10 20 10 40

Commercial stations 10 10 20 40

Total 20 30 30 80

Part b

And now we can calculate the statistic:

$\chi^2 = \frac{(15-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(15-20)^2}{20}+\frac{(10-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(5-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(25-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(10-20)^2}{20} =33.75$

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

$df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(2-1)(3-1)=2$

Part c

In order to find the critical value we need to look on the right tail of the chi square distribution with 2 degrees of freedom a value that accumulates 0.05 of the area. And this value is $\chi^2_{crit}=5.991$

Part d

And we can calculate the p value given by:

$p_v = P(\chi^2_{3} >33.75)=2.23x10^{-7}$

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(33.75,2,TRUE)"

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that we have dependence between the two variables analyzed.
