Using the midpoint formula, the coordinates of endpoint H are (4, -6).

<h3>The Midpoint Formula</h3>

The midpoint formula is given as: $(x_m, y_m) = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} )$

<em>Where</em>,

$(x_m, y_m)$ = coordinates of the midpoint

$(x_1, y_1)$ = coordinates of the first point

$(x_2, y_2)$ = coordinates of the second point

Given the following:

$(x_m, y_m)$ = M( 6,-4)

$(x_1, y_1)$ = G(8,-2)

$(x_2, y_2)$ = H(?, ?)

Plug in the values into the midpoint formula

$M(6, -4) = (\frac{8 + x_2}{2}, \frac{-2 + y_2}{2} )$

Solve for the x-coordinate and y-coordinate separately

$6 = \frac{8 + x_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides

$6 \times 2 = 8 + x_2\\\\12 = 8 + x_2\\\\12 - 8 = x_2\\\\4 = x_2\\\\\mathbf{x_2 = 4}$

$-4 = \frac{-2 + y_2}{2}\\\\-8 = -2 + y_2\\\\-8 + 2 = y_2\\\\-6 = y_2\\\\\mathbf{y_2 = -6}$

Therefore, using the midpoint formula, the coordinates of endpoint H are (4, -6).

Pls pls answer this asap no wrong answers pls

klemol [59]

Answer:

20, increased, Bianca

Step-by-step explanation:

First one:

He is shown to have travelled 20km in 1 hour, so that's 20km/h.

Second:

The gradient is how steep the curve is, the steeper the faster the person is travelling. Due to the fact Bianca's curve becomes steeper, it shows she is travelling faster. Therefore, her running speed increases.

Third:

Bianca's line hits 50km before Alberto, so therefore she finished first.

Let me know if this makes sense, hope it helped! :D

A genetic experiment involving peas yielded one sample of offspring consisting of 420 green peas and 174 yellow peas. Use a 0.01

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a) $z=\frac{0.293 -0.23}{\sqrt{\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{594}}}=3.649$

b) For this case we need to find a critical value that accumulates $\alpha/2$ of the area on each tail, we know that $\alpha=0.01$ , so then $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , using the normal standard table or excel we see that:

$z_{crit}= \pm 2.58$

Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=420+174=594 represent the random sample taken

X=174 represent the number of yellow peas

$\hat p=\frac{174}{594}=0.293$ estimated proportion of yellow peas

$p_o=0.23$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

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

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of yellow peas is 0.23:

Null hypothesis: $p=0.23$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.23$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.293 -0.23}{\sqrt{\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{594}}}=3.649$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z>3.649)=0.00026$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

b) Critical value

For this case we need to find a critical value that accumulates $\alpha/2$ of the area on each tail, we know that $\alpha=0.01$ , so then $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , using the normal standard table or excel we see that:

$z_{crit}= \pm 2.58$

Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.
