Answer:

The unknown side is 15 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$a^2+8^2=17^2$

$a^2+64=289$

$a^2=289-64$

$a^2=225$

$a=15$

Use the following cell phone airport data speeds (Mbps) from a particular network. Find the percentile corresponding to the dat

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Thus percentile lies between 53.3% and 55.6 %

Step-by-step explanation:

First we arrange the data in ascending order . Then find the number of the values corresponding to the given value. Then equate it with the number of observations and x and then multiply it to get the percentile. n= P/100 *N

where n is the ordinal rank of the given value

N is the number of values in ascending order.

The data in ascending order is

0.1 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.9 1.3

1.5 1.7 1.9 2.2 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.8 3.3 3.5 5.5 6.1 6.4 6.9 7.5 7.9 8.3 9.8 10.1 11.8 11.9 12.1 12.3 12.7 12.9 13.8 13.8 14.6 14.7 14.8 27.5

Number of observation = 45

4.9 lies between 3.3 and 5.5

x*n = 24 observation x*n = 25 observation

x*45= 24 x*45= 25

x= 0.533 x= 0.556

Thus percentile lies between 53.3% and 55.6 %

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-5,7) and (2,3)

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in order to solve this problem, I started off by drawing it out. On my graph that I have attached below, I first started out by locating the points (-5,7) and (2,3). Now, this is an optional step, but I highly encourage practicing your graphing skills by solving this problem on graph paper as well. Next, I connected the two points that I just graphed. This is the line that passes through (-5,7) and (2,3).

Now, here is where the actual solving starts. If you haven't already been taught this yet, I will introduce it to you now. I am going to find the equation of this line by filling in what I know in the equation y=mx+b, where m= the slope of the line, and b= y intercept.

Slope of the line: m= $\frac{y_{1} - y_{2} }{x_{1} - x_{2} } = \frac{7-3}{-5-2} = \frac{4}{-7}= -\frac{4}{7}$

If you haven't been taught how to find the slope of a line I recommend you find out.

Substitute the slope into the equation.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\$

Now, we will solve for the 'b,' or y intercept.

We already have x and y values to use: (-5,7) or (2,3). I'll use x=2 and y=3 to solve for the y intercept.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\\\3=-\frac{4}{7} *2+b\\\\3=-\frac{8}{7} +b\\b=3+\frac{8}{7} \\b=\frac{21}{7}+\frac{8}{7}=\frac{29}{7} =4\frac{1}{7} \\b=4\frac{1}{7}$
