If triangles AMN and ABC are similar, then

AM/AB = AN/AC

or

AM/(AM + MB) = AN/(AN + NC)

Check if this is true:

AM/AB = 21/(21 + 9) = 21/30 = 7/10

AN/AC = 14/(14 + 6) = 14/20 = 7/10

The angle at vertex A is common to both of the triangles.

Then by the side-angle-side (SAS) similarity theorem, the triangles are indeed similar.

Answer:

$z=\frac{13-20}{4}=-1.75$

Assuming:

H0: $\mu \geq 20$

H1: $\mu$

$p_v = P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest (number of correct answers in the test), on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=100, p=0.2)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

$np=100*0.2=20 \geq 10$

$n(1-p)=20*(1-0.2)=16 \geq 10$

So we see that we satisfy the conditions and then we can apply the approximation.

If we appply the approximation the new mean and standard deviation are:

$E(X)=np=100*0.2=20$

$\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{100*0.2(1-0.2)}=4$

So we can approximate the random variable X like this:

$X\sim N(\mu =20, \sigma=4)$

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean". The letter $\phi(b)$ is used to denote the cumulative area for a b quantile on the normal standard distribution, or in other words: $\phi(b)=P(z$

The z score is given by this formula:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we replace we got:

$z=\frac{13-20}{4}=-1.75$

Let's assume that we conduct the following test:

H0: $\mu \geq 20$

H1: $\mu$

We want to check is the score for the student is significantly less than the expected value using random guessing.

So on this case since we have the statistic we can calculate the p value on this way:

$p_v = P(Z$

Which system of equations does this graph represent?

jeyben [28]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can find the equation of the parabola. The standard form of a parabola is ax^2 + bx + c,

where c is the y-intercept. The y-intercept on the graph is -5, and every option starts with x^2, so the equation must be x^2 - 5. This rules out options 3 and 4.

Next, we can find the equation of the line. The options are all given in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept on the graph is 1, and option 1 has 1 in the place of b. Therefore, option 1 is the answer.
