Answer:KS=26

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find MQ. To find that we would use the formula

MQ=1/2(NP+LR) due to the trapezoid midsegment Theroum.

We know that NP=8 and that LR=20 so we can replace that into

MQ=1/2(8+20). After we add them we can get MQ=1/2(28). Finally, we can get MQ=14

To find the measure of KS we know that LR=1/2(MQ+KS). We can substitute to find 20=1/2(14+KS). We can then multiply the 1/2 to both sides which would equal 40=14+KS. After that, we could subtract 14 which would get us the final answer of 26=KS.

Impact of humour in specific language structure

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Summary

Interest in the linguistics of humor is widespread and dates since classical times. Several theoretical models have been proposed to describe and explain the function of humor in language. The most widely adopted one, the semantic-script theory of humor, was presented by Victor Raskin, in 1985. Its expansion, to incorporate a broader gamut of information, is known as the General Theory of Verbal Humor. Other approaches are emerging, especially in cognitive and corpus linguistics. Within applied linguistics, the predominant approach is an analysis of conversation and discourse, with a focus on the disparate functions of humor in conversation. Speakers may use humor pro-socially, to build in-group solidarity, or anti-socially, to exclude and denigrate the targets of the humor. Most of the research has focused on how humor is co-constructed and used among friends, and how speakers support it. Increasingly, corpus-supported research is beginning to reshape the field, introducing quantitative concerns, as well as multimodal data and analyses. Overall, the linguistics of humor is a dynamic and rapidly changing field.Step-by-step explanation:

As part of the Pew Internet and American Life Project, researchers conducted two surveys in late 2009. The first survey asked a

REY [17]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of all U.S. teens and adults who use social networking sites is (0.223, 0.297). This means that we are 95% sure that the true difference of the proportion is in this interval, between 0.223 and 0.297.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval we need to understand the central limit theorem and the subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Sample of 800 teens. 73% said that they use social networking sites.

This means that:

$p_T = 0.73, s_T = \sqrt{\frac{0.73*0.27}{800}} = 0.0157$
