<h3>Answer: Rhombus and square</h3>

Explanation:

Any rhombus has its diagonals meet at 90 degree angles. The proof for this is a bit lengthy, so I'll let you handle it. The basic idea is to draw in the diagonals, which forms smaller triangles. Proving those triangles to be congruent leads to supplementary congruent angles, which in turn leads to the 90 degree angles needed.

A square is a special type of rhombus where all four angles are the same (each 90 degrees). Put another way, a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus at the same time.

Some rectangles are not squares, so the non-square rectangles will have the diagonals not be perpendicular.

If x+1 and x-1 are the factors of the polynomial ax^3 + x^2 - 2x +b,find the values of a and b

Nadusha1986 [10]

The polynomial remainder theorem says that dividing a polynomial $p(x)$ by $x-c$ leaves a remainder of $p(c)=0$ if $x-c$ is a factor of $p(x)$ . In this case, check $c=-1$ and $c=1$ .

$a(-1)^3+(-1)^2-2(-1)+b=-a+b+3=0$

$a(1)^3+(1)^2-2(1)+b=a+b-1=0$

From the first equation,

$-a+b+3=0\implies a=b+3$

and substituting into the second gives

$(b+3)+b-1=0\implies2b+2=0\implies b=-1\implies a=2$

An article in The Engineer (Redesign for Suspect Wiring," June 1990) reported the results of an investigation into wiring errors

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval on the proportion of aircraft that have such wiring errors is (0.0005, 0.0095).

b) A sample of 408 is required.

c) A sample of 20465 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

Of 1600 randomly selected aircraft, eight were found to have wiring errors that could display incorrect information to the flight crew.

This means that $n = 1600, \pi = \frac{8}{1600} = 0.005$

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.005 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.005*0.995}{1600}} = 0.0005$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.005 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.005*0.995}{1600}} = 0.0095$

The 99% confidence interval on the proportion of aircraft that have such wiring errors is (0.0005, 0.0095).

b. Suppose we use the information in this example to provide a preliminary estimate of p. How large a sample would be required to produce an estimate of p that we are 99% confident differs from the true value by at most 0.009?

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

A sample of n is required, and n is found for M = 0.009. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.009 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.005*0.995}{n}}$

$0.009\sqrt{n} = 2.575\sqrt{0.005*0.995}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575\sqrt{0.005*0.995}}{0.009}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575\sqrt{0.005*0.995}}{0.009})^2$

$n = 407.3$

Rounding up:

A sample of 408 is required.

c. Suppose we did not have a preliminary estimate of p. How large a sample would be required if we wanted to be at least 99% confident that the sample proportion differs from the true proportion by at most 0.009 regardless of the true value of p?

Since we have no estimate, we use $\pi = 0.5$
