One of the vertices of △PQR is P(2, −1). The midpoint of PQ is M(3, 0). The midpoint of QR is N(5, 3). Show that MN || PR and MN
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

<em>See the proof below</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following coordinates

P(2, −1)

Midpoint of PQ M(3, 0)

We can get the coordinate point Q using the midpoint formula;

M(X,Y) = (x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2)

X = x1+x2/2

3 = 2+x2/2

6 = 2+x2

x2 = 6-2

x2 = 4

Y = y1+y2/2

0 = -1+y2/2

0 = -1 + y2

y2 = 0+1

y2 = 1

<em>Hence the coordinate of Q is (4, 1)</em>

Next is to get the coordinate of R

Given the midpoint of QR to be N(5, 3)

(5,3) = (4+x2/2, 1+y2/2)

5 = 4+x2/2

10 = 4+x2

x2 = 10-4

x2 = 6

1+y2/2 = 3

1+y2 = 6

y2 = 6-1

y2 = 5

<em>Hence the coordinate of R is (6,5)</em>

<em></em>

Given the coordinates M(3, 0) and N(5, 3)

Slope is expressed as:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 3-0/5-3

m = 3/2

Slope of MN = 3/2

Get the slope of PR

Given the coordinates P(2, −1) and R (6,5)

Slope of PR = 5-(-1)/6-2

Slope of PR = 5+1/4

Slope of PR = 6/4 = 3/2

<em>Since the slope of MN is equal to that of PR, hence MN is parallel to PR i.e MN || PR</em>

<em></em>

To show that MN = 1/2PR, we will have to take the distance between M and N and also P and R first as shown:

For MN with coordinates  M(3, 0) and N(5, 3)

MN = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

MN = √(5-3)²+(3-0)²

MN = √2²+3²

MN = √13

Get the length of PR where P(2, −1) and R (6,5)

PR = √(6-2)²+(5+1)²

PR = √4²+6²

PR = √16+36

PR = √52

PR = √4*13

PR = √4*√13

PR = 2√13

Since MN = √13

PR = 2MN

Divide both sides by 2

PR/2 = 2MN/2

PR/2 = MN

Hence MN = 1/2 PR (Proved!)

Two different samples will be taken from the same population of test scores where the population mean and standard deviation are
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The sample consisting of 64 data values would give a greater precision.

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population mean μ is:

\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

So, from the formula of the width of the interval it is clear that the width is inversely proportion to the sample size (<em>n</em>).

That is, as the sample size increases the interval width would decrease and as the sample size decreases the interval width would increase.

Here it is provided that two different samples will be taken from the same population of test scores and a 95% confidence interval will be constructed for each sample to estimate the population mean.

The two sample sizes are:

<em>n</em>₁ = 25

<em>n</em>₂ = 64

The 95% confidence interval constructed using the sample of 64 values will have a smaller width than the the one constructed using the sample of 25 values.

Width for n = 25:

\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{25}}=\frac{1}{5}\cdot [2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma]        

Width for n = 64:

\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{64}}=\frac{1}{8}\cdot [2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma]

Thus, the sample consisting of 64 data values would give a greater precision

Events M and N are independent events. In this scenario, if P(M) = 0.46 and P(M and N) = 0.138, then P(N) = .
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

P(N)=0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P(M)= 0.46, P(M and N)=0.138

Using P(M) ×P(N)= P(M and N)

⇒0.46×P(N)= 0.138

⇒P(N)= \frac{0.138}{0.46}

⇒P(N)=0.3
