Answer:

3:4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To work this out we need to find the highest multiple of 45 and 60.

15 is the largest number that goes into both of them so what we are going to do now is divide both number by 15.

45 divided by 15 = 3

60 divided by 15 = 4

Therefore the odds of selecting a red candy is 3:4.

Hope that helps. x

The mean SAT score in mathematics, M, is 600. The standard deviation of these scores is 48. A special preparation course claims
kupik [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean SAT score is \mu=600, we are going to call it \mu since it's the "true" mean

The standard deviation (we are going to call it \sigma) is

\sigma=48

Next they draw a random sample of n=70 students, and they got a mean score (denoted by \bar x) of \bar x=613

The test then boils down to the question if the score of 613 obtained by the students in the sample is statistically bigger that the "true" mean of 600.

- So the Null Hypothesis H_0:\bar x \geq \mu

- The alternative would be then the opposite H_0:\bar x < \mu

The test statistic for this type of test takes the form

t=\frac{| \mu -\bar x |} {\sigma/\sqrt{n}}

and this test statistic follows a normal distribution. This last part is quite important because it will tell us where to look for the critical value. The problem ask for a 0.05 significance level. Looking at the normal distribution table, the critical value that leaves .05% in the upper tail is 1.645.

With this we can then replace the values in the test statistic and compare it to the critical value of 1.645.

t=\frac{| \mu -\bar x |} {\sigma/\sqrt{n}}\\\\= \frac{| 600-613 |}{48/\sqrt(70}}\\\\= \frac{| 13 |}{48/8.367}\\\\= \frac{| 13 |}{5.737}\\\\=2.266\\

<h3>since 2.266>1.645 we  can reject the null hypothesis.</h3>

A line segment that goes from one side of the circle to the other side of the circle and doesn't go through the center is:
rewona [7]

A line segment that goes from one side of the circle to the other side of the circle and doesn't go through the center is called chord of circle.

Since,

The chord of a circle can be defined as the line segment joining any two points on the circumference of the circle.

The diameter is the length of the line through the center that touches two points on the edge of the circle.

So, we can say that every diameter of a circle is always called chord (longest chord) but every chord of the circle is not a diameter because the diameter passes to the circle's center but it not necessay that evey chord will pass through the center of the circle. Some, line segment goes from one side of the circle to the other side and doesn't pass through centre then for this case the line segment is called chord of the circle.

Hence, a line segment that goes from one side of the circle to the other side of the circle and doesn't go through the center is called chord of the circle.

What is a point-slope equation of the line with slope -12 that goes through the point (5,3)
laila [671]

Answer:

y-3 = -12 (x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of an equation is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point

y-3 = -12 (x-5)

그대의 외로움 내가 다 알 수 없지만
