Step-by-step explanation:

y is easy.

it is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of the small right-angled triangle created by the height (8) of the main triangle, the segment 6 of the main Hypotenuse and y.

so, Pythagoras :

y² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100

y = 10

x is a bit more complex.

I think the easiest way to get it is to know that the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of both segments of the Hypotenuse.

so, if we call the segments of the Hypotenuse a and b with a = 6, we have

x = a + b = 6 + b

height (8) = sqrt(a×b) = sqrt(6b)

therefore,

6b = height² = 8² = 64

b = 64/6 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 = 10.66666666...

so,

x = 6 + 10.66666... = 16.666666666...

round it to what is needed. e.g. 2 positions after the decimal point (hundredths) ? then it would be 10.67

How do I solve this?

mart [117]

X + y = 20 Substitute
x by 2 y - 4 in x + y = 20 to obtain 2 y •
4 + y = 20 Solve for y to find y = 8 and
x = 2y - 4 = 12

A sample of 5 buttons is randomly selected and the following diameters are measured in inches. Give a point estimate for the pop

Helen [10]

Answer:

$s^2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}$

But we need to calculate the mean with the following formula:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_I}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\bar X = \frac{ 1.04+1.00+1.13+1.08+1.11}{5}= 1.072$

And for the sample variance we have:

$s^2 = \frac{(1.04-1.072)^2 +(1.00-1.072)^2 +(1.13-1.072)^2 +(1.08-1.072)^2 +(1.11-1.072)^2}{5-1}= 0.00277\ approx 0.003$

And thi is the best estimator for the population variance since is an unbiased estimator od the population variance $\sigma^2$

$E(s^2) = \sigma^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data:

1.04,1.00,1.13,1.08,1.11

And in order to estimate the population variance we can use the sample variance formula:

$s^2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}$

But we need to calculate the mean with the following formula:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_I}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\bar X = \frac{ 1.04+1.00+1.13+1.08+1.11}{5}= 1.072$

And for the sample variance we have:

$s^2 = \frac{(1.04-1.072)^2 +(1.00-1.072)^2 +(1.13-1.072)^2 +(1.08-1.072)^2 +(1.11-1.072)^2}{5-1}= 0.00277\ approx 0.003$

And thi is the best estimator for the population variance since is an unbiased estimator od the population variance $\sigma^2$

$E(s^2) = \sigma^2$

Do 6 right hand times 4 right hand photos. Then you do 6 left hand with 3 left hand photos. 24 plus 18 is 42
