Answer:

x=68

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by setting up as a proportion. 99.2 and 112 ft are across from each other so we can put those as our numerators. Additionally 62 and (x+2) ft are across from each other so we can put those as denominators. Now we can set up our proportion and begin to cross multiply:

99.2/62 = 112/(x+2) is our equation. It might help you see it clearly to write it out as fractions. From here, we cross multiply.

When we do that, we get x=68

Please help me with my math homework what is the answer!!!

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The letters are easy enough.

y^3 determines that 3 ys are needed. y^2 is taken in by the cubed.

x^4 determines that 4 xs are needed. x^3 is part of x^4 and you don't need any more xs

12 and 42 are the parts that will cause the problem. Factor them both into prime factors

12: 2 * 2 * 3

42: 2 * 3 * 7

You need two 2s.

You need one 3

You need one 7

LCD = 2 *2*3 * 7 = 84

Suppose that a random sample of 10 newborns had an average weight of 7.25 pounds and sample standard deviation of 2 pounds. a. T

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

$z=\frac{7.25-7.5}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{10}}}=-0.565$

$p_v =P(Z$

a) If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true average is not significantly less than 7.5.

b) $\chi^2 =\frac{10-1}{1.96} 4 =18.367$

$p_v =P(\chi^2 >18.367)=0.0311$

If we compare the p value and the significance level provided we see that $p_v >\alpha$ so on this case we have enough evidence in order to FAIL reject the null hypothesis at the significance level provided. And that means that the population variance is not significantly higher than 1.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this info: "Suppose birth weights follow a normal distribution with mean 7.5 pounds and standard deviation 1.4 pounds"

1) Data given and notation

$\bar X=7.25$ represent the sample mean

$s=1.2$ represent the sample standard deviation

$\sigma=1.4$ represent the population standard deviation

$n=10$ sample size

$\mu_o =7.5$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05,0.01$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is less than 7.5, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 7.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 7.5$

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

3) Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{7.25-7.5}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{10}}}=-0.565$

4)P-value

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z$

5) Conclusion

Part a

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true average is not significantly less than 7.5.

Part b

A chi-square test is "used to test if the variance of a population is equal to a specified value. This test can be either a two-sided test or a one-sided test. The two-sided version tests against the alternative that the true variance is either less than or greater than the specified value"

$n=10$ represent the sample size

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the confidence level

$s^2 =4$ represent the sample variance obtained

$\sigma^2_0 =1.96$ represent the value that we want to test

Null and alternative hypothesis

On this case we want to check if the population variance increase, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: $\sigma^2 \leq 1.96$

Alternative hypothesis: $\sigma^2 >1.96$

Calculate the statistic

For this test we can use the following statistic:

$\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2$

And this statistic is distributed chi square with n-1 degrees of freedom. We have eveything to replace.

$\chi^2 =\frac{10-1}{1.96} 4 =18.367$

Calculate the p value

In order to calculate the p value we need to have in count the degrees of freedom , on this case 9. And since is a right tailed test the p value would be given by:

$p_v =P(\chi^2 >18.367)=0.0311$

In order to find the p value we can use the following code in excel:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(18.367,9,TRUE)"

100 points! Please help asap! Look at the picture attached. My teacher said that both 1 and 2 are neither can someone explain wh

Neko [114]

Answer:

Your teacher is right, there is not enough info

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Question 1</h3>

We can see that RS is divided by half

The PQ is not indicated as perpendicular to RS or RQ is not indicates same as QS

So P is not on the perpendicular bisector of RS

<h3>Question 2</h3>

We can see that PD⊥DE and PF⊥FE

There is no indication that PD = PF or ∠DEP ≅ FEP

So PE is not the angle bisector of ∠DEF
