&
given circleR, how is it known that QS = YT?

(idk the answers i guessed)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal. This also means that the length of two sides of the triangle are equal. Looking at triangle ABC, to prove that it is an isosceles triangle, then

Angle CAB = angle CBA

For the second question, to determine how it is known that QS is equivalent to YT, we would recall that the diameter of a circle passes through the center and from one side of the circle to the other side. Assuming R is the center of the circle, then QS and YT are the diameters of the circle and also the diagonals of the rectangle. Thus, the correct option is

The diameters act as diagonals

k = 3 ; 2k + 2 = 2*3 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8

k = 4;  2k + 2 = 2*4 + 2 = 8 +2 = 10

k =5; 2k + 2 = 2*5 +2 = 10+2 = 12

k=6;  2k +2 = 2*6 + 2 = 12+2 = 14

k = 7 ; 2k + 2 = 2*7 +2 = 14 +2 = 16

k = 8 ; 2k + 2 = 2*8 + 2 = 16 +2 = 18

About 16.6% of Americans can speak Spanish. We obtain a random sample of seventy-five Americans and determine the proportion in the sample who speak Spanish. Find the probability that 25% or more in the sample speak Spanish.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that 25% or more in the sample speak Spanish is 76%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample of 75 Americans

If 25% or more in the sample speak Spanish, it can be deduced that 24% do not speak Spanish.

The proportion of those who do not speak Spanish is 18 (24% of 75)

Therefore, the proportion of those who speak Spanish is 57 (75 - 19)

This implies that 57/75 x 100 = 76% of the sample speak Spanish.

This 76% of the sample who speak Spanish is equal to the 25% or more who do speak Spanish in the sample.

Probability is the chance that an event may occur from many other events that could have occurred.  It is an educated guess or estimate of something or one event happening when all the events in the set are given an equal chance.

In the parallelogram below, solve for x and y. (Give your answer as a decimal, when necessary)

Answers

Answer: x = 15, y = 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the three angle measures of a triangle equals 180ᴼ

Since these triangles are vertical, the measures are congruent.

45 + 60 = 105

180 - 105 = 75

So now we know that 5x = 75ᴼ and 6y = 75ᴼ.

To find x, divide 75 by 5

75 / 5 = 15

x = 15

To find y, divide 75 by 6

75 / 6 = 12.5

y = 12.5

Answers

Answer:

  30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Jose's charges are ...

  j = 5 + 0.30m . . . . . for m miles

Kathy's charges are ...

  k = 8 +0.20m . . . . . for m miles

The charges are the same when ...

 j = k

  5 +0.30m = 8 + 0.20m

  0.30m = 3 + 0.20m . . . . subtract 5

  0.10m = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20m

A bus can carry a maximum of 60 passengers. Each row accommodates the same number of passengers. If two rows are added then each row would accommodate one passenger less for the bus to carry maximum number of passengers. Determine number of rows in the bus and no. Of passengers per row

Answers

Answer:

10 rows with 6 passengers per row

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of rows and y the number of passengers per row.

Then we can interpret the story as the following two equations:

xy=60

(x+2)(y-1)=60

Solving these two equations:

y=60/x

(x+2)(60/x-1)=60     (substitute y)

60 - x + 120/x - 2 = 60 (multiply by -x)

x² + 2x - 120 = 0     (factor)

(x-10)(x+12) = 0

x = 10

y = 60/10 = 6

and indeed 10 * 6 = 60 and also 12 * 5 = 60

The Ball Corporation's beverage can manufacturing plant in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, uses a metal supplier that provides metal with a known thickness standard deviation σ = .000586 mm. Assume a random sample of 59 sheets of metal resulted in an x¯ = .2905 mm. Calculate the 95 percent confidence interval for the true mean metal thickness.

Answers

Answer:

The 95 percent confidence interval for the true mean metal thickness is between 0.2903 mm and 0.2907 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.96[/tex]

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 1.96\frac{0.000586}{\sqrt{59}} = 0.0002[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 0.2905 - 0.0002 = 0.2903 mm

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 0.2905 + 0.0002 = 0.2907 mm

The 95 percent confidence interval for the true mean metal thickness is between 0.2903 mm and 0.2907 mm

The curvature of a plane parametric curve x = f(t), y = g(t) is $ \kappa = \dfrac{|\dot{x} \ddot{y} - \dot{y} \ddot{x}|}{[\dot{x}^2 + \dot{y}^2]^{3/2}}$ where the dots indicate derivatives with respect to t. Use the above formula to find the curvature. x = 6et cos(t), y = 6et sin(t)

Answers

Answer:

The curvature is modelled by [tex]\kappa = \frac{e^{-t}}{6\sqrt{2}}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the curvature is:

[tex]\kappa = \frac{|\dot {x}\cdot \ddot {y}-\dot{y}\cdot \ddot{x}|}{[\dot{x}^{2}+\dot{y}^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2} }}[/tex]

The parametric componentes of the curve are:

[tex]x = 6\cdot e^{t} \cdot \cos t[/tex] and [tex]y = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot \sin t[/tex]

The first and second derivative associated to each component are determined by differentiation rules:

First derivative

[tex]\dot{x} = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot \cos t - 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot \sin t[/tex] and [tex]\dot {y} = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot \sin t + 6\cdot e^{t} \cdot \cos t[/tex]

[tex]\dot x = 6\cdot e^{t} \cdot (\cos t - \sin t)[/tex] and [tex]\dot {y} = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\sin t + \cos t)[/tex]

Second derivative

[tex]\ddot{x} = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\cos t-\sin t)+6\cdot e^{t} \cdot (-\sin t -\cos t)[/tex]

[tex]\ddot x = -12\cdot e^{t}\cdot \sin t[/tex]

[tex]\ddot {y} = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\sin t + \cos t) + 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\cos t - \sin t)[/tex]

[tex]\ddot{y} = 12\cdot e^{t}\cdot \cos t[/tex]

Now, each term is replaced in the the curvature equation:

[tex]\kappa = \frac{|6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\cos t - \sin t)\cdot 12\cdot e^{t}\cdot \cos t-6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\sin t + \cos t)\cdot (-12\cdot e^{t}\cdot \sin t)|}{\left\{\left[6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\cos t - \sin t)\right]^{2}+\right[6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\sin t + \cos t)\left]^{2}\right\}^{\frac{3}{2}}} }[/tex]

And the resulting expression is simplified by algebraic and trigonometric means:

[tex]\kappa = \frac{72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot \cos^{2}t-72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot \sin t\cdot \cos t + 72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot \sin^{2}t+72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot \sin t \cdot \cos t}{[36\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot (\cos^{2}t -2\cdot \cos t \cdot \sin t +\sin^{2}t)+36\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot (\sin^{2}t+2\cdot \cos t \cdot \sin t +\cos^{2} t)]^{\frac{3}{2} }}[/tex]

[tex]\kappa = \frac{72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}}{[72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}]^{\frac{3}{2} } }[/tex]

[tex]\kappa = [72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}]^{-\frac{1}{2} }[/tex]

[tex]\kappa = 72^{-\frac{1}{2} }\cdot e^{-t}[/tex]

[tex]\kappa = \frac{e^{-t}}{6\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

The curvature is modelled by [tex]\kappa = \frac{e^{-t}}{6\sqrt{2}}[/tex].

Answers

The answers are in order

r = −0.08 --> weak negative correlation

r = −0.83 --> strong negative correlation

r = 0.96 --> strong positive correlation

r = 0.06 --> weak positive correlation

The match of each correlation is given by,

r = −0.08  implies a weak negative correlation

r = −0.83  implies a strong negative correlation

r = 0.96  implies strong positive correlation

r = 0.06 implies  weak positive correlation.

r = 0.96                               weak negative correlation                    

r = 0.06                                strong positive correlation

We have to match the given relation

What is the positive and negative correlation?

If the correlation coefficient is greater than zero, it is a positive relationship. Conversely, if the value is less than zero, it is a negative relationship.

So the correct match is,

r = −0.08  implies a weak negative correlation

r = −0.83  implies strong negative correlation

r = 0.96  implies strong positive correlation.

r = 0.06 is implies  weak positive correlation.

Given in the question are restated as follows:

Marginal cos = C'(x) = x^4 - 2x ...................... (1)

Note that marginal cost (C'(x)) refers to the change in the total cost (C(x)) as a result of one more unit increase in the quantity produced. That is, MC refers to the additional cost incurred in order to produce one more unit of a good.

Therefore, TC can be obtained by integrating equation (1) as follows:

There are 12 teams, each representing a different country, in a women’s Olympic basketball tournament. In how many ways is it possible for the gold, silver, and bronze medals to be awarded? Use the formula for permutations to find your answer.

Answers

Answer:

1320 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we need to use permutations and factorials. If we wanted to find where they would all place 1-12, we would do 12!

12! is the same as 12x11x10x9x8... etc

But in this problem, we are only looking for the top 3.

We can set up a formula

[tex]\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

N is the number of options that are available and r represents the amount we are choosing

In this case, we have 12 teams so n=12

We are looking for the top 3 so r=3

[tex]\frac{12!}{(12-3)!}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12!}{9!}[/tex]

We expand the equation and cancel out

[tex]\frac{12x11x10x9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2}{9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2}[/tex]

Notice how both sides can cancel out every number 9 and below

That leaves us with 12x11x10

1320 ways

The possible ways for the gold, silver, and bronze medals to be awarded is 1320

What is permutation?

A permutation of a set is, loosely speaking, an arrangement of its members into a sequence or linear order, or if the set is already ordered, a rearrangement of its elements.

The word "permutation" also refers to the act or process of changing the linear order of an ordered set.

Given that, there are 12 teams, each representing a different country, in a women’s Olympic basketball tournament.

We need to find that, in how many ways is it possible for the gold, silver, and bronze medals to be awarded,

Using the concept of permutation, to find the number of ways

ⁿPₓ = n!/(n-x)!

= 12! / (12-3)!

= 12! / 9!

= 1320

Hence, the possible ways for the gold, silver, and bronze medals to be awarded is 1320

Thus; in order to minimize the variance of [tex]\hat \theta_3[/tex] ; then constant a can be determined as :

[tex]V( \hat \theta_3) = a^2 \sigma_1^2 + (1-a)^2 \sigma^2_2[/tex]

Using differentiation:

[tex]\dfrac{d}{da}(V \ \hat \theta_3) = 0 \implies 2a \ \sigma_1^2 + 2(1-a)(-1) \sigma_2^2 = 0[/tex]

[tex]a (\sigma_1^2 + \sigma_2^2) = \sigma^2_2[/tex]

[tex]\hat a = \dfrac{\sigma^2_2}{\sigma^2_1+\sigma^2_2}[/tex]

This implies that

[tex]\dfrac{d}{da}(V \ \hat \theta_3)|_{a = \hat a} = 2 \ \sigma_1^2 + 2 \ \sigma_2^2 > 0[/tex]

So, [tex]V( \hat \theta_3)[/tex] is minimum when [tex]\hat a = \dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{\sigma_1^2+\sigma_2^2}[/tex]

As such; [tex]a = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]       if   [tex]\sigma_1^2 \ \ = \ \ \sigma_2^2[/tex]
