Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5√(7)m  or 13.23m

Step-by-step explanation:

use pythagorean theorem

a²+b²=c²

c=20

b=15

a²+225=400

a²=175

√(175) = 5√(7) = 13.23

Answer 2

The height of the kite is 13.23 meters.

What is Pythagoras' theorem?

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, according to Pythagoras's Theorem.

Given:

A boy is flying a kite.

The length of the string is 20 meters and the horizontal distance between the boy and the kite is 15 meters.

Assuming there is no slack in the string,

then the height of the kite is,

= √(20)² - (15)²

= 13.23 feet.

Therefore, the height is 13.23 meters.

The triangle shown below has an area of 20 units squared. Find the missing side if the height is 8

Answers

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets keep the missing side as x

And we also know that the area of Triangle is,

[tex] \frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]

So taking this into consideration we can write a linear equation like this,

[tex] \frac{1}{2} bh = 20[/tex]

Where height is 8,

[tex] \frac{1}{2} \times b \times 8 = 20 \\ 4 \times b = 20 \\ b = \frac{20}{4} \\ b = 5[/tex]

So therefore the missing side is 5

5 because the formula for a triangle is (l w) divide by two and you get the area so when you do the formula backwards you get 5

A survey of 300 students from a New York State School District reveals that 112 favor year round school with two week vacations every ten weeks. Construct the 98% confidence interval for the true population proportion of all New York students who favor year round school.

Answers

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the true population proportion of all New York students who favor year round school is (0.3083, 0.4383).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

A survey of 300 students from a New York State School District reveals that 112 favor year round school with two week vacations every ten weeks.

This means that [tex]n = 300, \pi = \frac{112}{300} = 0.3733[/tex]

98% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3733 - 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.3733*0.6267}{300}} = 0.3083[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3733 + 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.3733*0.6267}{300}} = 0.4383[/tex]

The 98% confidence interval for the true population proportion of all New York students who favor year round school is (0.3083, 0.4383).

Answer:

Decision Rule

The critical region for one tailed test with 7 d.f is t > 1.415 for

H0 : ud ≤ 0 against the claim Ha: ud > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given is

Population mean = ud= 0

Sample difference mean = d`= 3.125

Sample difference standard deviation = sd= 2.911

Sample size= n= 8

Formulate the null and alternate hypotheses as

H0 : ud ≤ 0 against the claim Ha: ud>0

The significance level ∝= 0.1

The degrees of freedom = n-1 = 8-1 = 7

The critical region for one tailed test with 7 d.f is t > 1.415

The test statistic is

t= d`- ud/ sd/ √n

Putting the values

t= 3.125-0 / 2.911/√8

t= 3.125/1.0292

t= 3.036

since the calculated value of t falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis .

area of rectangle = 110 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

here's your solution

=> length of rectangle = 35 cm. [ given ]

=> width of rectangle = 20 cm. [ given ]

=> we need to find area ,

=> area of rectangle = 2(length + width)

=> area of rectangle = 2(35 + 20)

=> area of rectangle = 2*55 =

A car company hires a marketing firm to advertise a particular model of car. After a year the marketing company presents the following graph to show the increase in sales resulting from their advertising campaign.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, the graph makes it appear as if sales increased three folds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph presented by the advertising company is misleading, as it attempts to exaggerate the effect of its advert on sales. This can be attributed to the scale which is isn't uniform.

Last year sale was about 137000 and it grew to 150000 as a result of advertisement.

But from the bar chart, it seems there was three times increase in sales.

Using the graphing function on your calculator, what is the solution to the
system of equations show below?
Y+ 2x = 5
4y+ 5x=14
A. x=2 y=1
B. x= 1, y = 2
O C. More than 1 solution
O D. No solution

Answers

Answer:

x = 2 y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation

Y+ 2x = 5 ...1

4y+ 5x=14 ,,,,2

From 1;

y =5 - 2x ....3

Substitute 3 into 2

4(5-2x) + 5x = 14

20 - 8x + 5x = 14

20 - 3x = 14

-3x = 14-20

-3x = -6

x = 6/3

x = 2

Since y = 5-2x

y = 5-2(2)

y = 5-4

y = 1

Hence the required solution is (2,1)
