Answer:

The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 24 kilometers

The difference between the lengths of the trails is 6 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete and correct question is

The diagram shows two different nature trails in a state park. The solid line shows the Dogwood Trail. The dashed line shows the Elm Trail.

Which of the following statements are true about the lengths of the trails? Check all that apply.

1.The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 16 kilometers.

2.The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 24 kilometers.

3.The Elm Trail is longer than the Dogwood Trail.

4.The difference between the lengths of the trails is 2 kilometers.

5.The difference between the lengths of the trails is 6 kilometers.

The picture in the attached figure

step 1

Find the value of a

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem in the right triangle ABC

$13^2=a^2+5^2\\a^2=169-25\\a^2=144\\a=12\ km$

step 2

Find the value of b

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem in the right triangle CDE

$5^2=b^2+3^2\\b^2=25-9\\b^2=16\\b=4\ km$

step 3

Find the total length of the Dogwood Trail (solid blue line)

The total length is equal to

$AD=AB+BC+CE+ED$ ---> by segment addition postulate

substitute the given values

$AD=a+5+b+3=(a+b+8)\ km$

substitute the value of a and b

$AD=(12+4+8)=24\ km$

step 4

Find the total length of the Elm Trail (dashed red line)

The total length is equal to

$AD=AC+CD$ ---> by segment addition postulate

substitute the given values

$AD=13+5=18\ km$

Verify the following statements

Part 1) The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 16 kilometers

The statement is false

Because

The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 24 kilometers (see the explanation)

Part 2) The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 24 kilometers

The statement is true (see the explanation)

Part 3) The Elm Trail is longer than the Dogwood Trail

The statement is false

Because

The Elm Trail is smaller than the Dogwood Trail

$18\ km < 24\ km$

Part 4) The difference between the lengths of the trails is 2 kilometers

The statement is false

Because

The difference is equal to

$24-18=6\ km$

Part 5) The difference between the lengths of the trails is 6 kilometers

The statement is true

Because

The difference is equal to

$24-18=6\ km$

Answer:

$t=\frac{201.77-200}{\frac{2.41}{\sqrt{10}}}=2.32$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

The p value for this case is given by:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>2.32)=0.0455$

For this case since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 200 F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

data: 202.2 203.4 200.5 202.5 206.3 198.0 203.7 200.8 201.3 199.0

We can calculate the sample mean and deviation with the following formulas:

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

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

$\bar X=201.77$ represent the sample mean

$s=2.41$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=10$ sample size

$\mu_o =200$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis to test

We want to determine if the true mean is equal to 200, the system of hypothesis are :

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 200$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu = 200$

The statistic for this case is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

The statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{201.77-200}{\frac{2.41}{\sqrt{10}}}=2.32$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

The p value for this case is given by:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>2.32)=0.0455$

andrezito [222]

We are asked to solve for:

P (sand | positive)

So, we solve this by:

P (sand | positive) = P (sand) x P (positive for sand)

P (sand | positive) = 0.26 (0.75)

P (sand | positive) = 0.195

The probability is 0.195 or 19.5%.

Aleks04 [339]

So if 32 oz is 20% more than the average bottle, you multiply 32 by .20 which gives you 6.4. This means that the 32 oz bottle is 6.4 oz more than the regular bottle. Furthermore, 32 - 6.4 = 25.6 so that's how big the typical bottle is.
