Hay 162 refugiados en el campamento. Si hubiera mas de 162, ya no recivirian la misma racion de comida. Cada uno recive un paquete de galletas, dos paquetes de arroz y pienso k una botella y media de agua (aunque lo de el agua suene un poko ilogico).

Researchers from Dartmouth Medical School conducted a study in 2003 to look at the connection between watching actors smoking in

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adolescents who tried smoking for the first time because of exposure to smoking in the movies is (0.37, 0.40).

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is an interval estimate of the population parameter. The confidence interval has a certain probability of consisting the true value of the parameter.

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for the population proportion (<em>p</em>) is given by:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

The information provided is:

$n = 6522\\\hat p=0.38\\z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the critical value.

Construct the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adolescents who tried smoking for the first time because of exposure to smoking in the movies as follows:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.38\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{6522}}\\=0.38\pm 0.0118\\=(0.3682, 0.3918)\\\approx (0.37, 0.40)$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adolescents who tried smoking for the first time because of exposure to smoking in the movies is (0.37, 0.40).

Two cross sections of a right hexagonal pyramid are obtained by cutting the pyramid with planes parallel to the hexagonal base.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The larger cross section is 24 meters away from the apex.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section of a right hexagonal pyramid is a hexagon; therefore, let us first get some things clear about a hexagon.

The length of the side of the hexagon is equal to the radius of the circle that inscribes it.

The area is

$A=\frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} r^2$

Where $r$ is the radius of the inscribing circle (or the length of side of the hexagon).

Now we are given the areas of the two cross sections of the right hexagonal pyramid: $A_1=216\:ft^2\: \:\:\:A_2=486\:ft^2$

From these areas we find the radius of the hexagons:

$r_1=\sqrt{\frac{2A_1}{3\sqrt{3} } } =\sqrt{\frac{2*216}{3\sqrt{3} } }=\boxed{9.12ft}$

$r_2=\sqrt{\frac{2A_2}{3\sqrt{3} } } =\sqrt{\frac{2*486}{3\sqrt{3} } }=\boxed{13.68ft}$

Now when we look at the right hexagonal pyramid from the sides ( as shown in the figure attached ), we see that $r_1$ $r_2$ form similar triangles with length $H$

Therefore we have:

$\frac{H-8}{r_1} =\frac{H}{r_2}$

We put in the numerical values of $r_1$ , $r_2$ and solve for $H$ :

$\boxed{H=\frac{8r_2}{r_2-r_1} =\frac{8*13.677}{13.68-9.12} =24\:feet.}$

A set of notations (SSS, SAS, ASA and RHS) is used to describe/prove that two triangles are conjurent. For each pair of triangle

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements are not given but from this definition, you should be able to select the correct statement.

Triangles are said to be congruent if they have the same size and shape. A triangle is made up of six (three sides and three angles) but only three is usually needed to prove triangle congruence. These are:

a) Side - Side - Side (SSS): Two triangles are congruent if the length of their three sides are equal to each other.

b) Side- angle- side (SAS): If two sides and one angle of a triangle is equal to two sides and a angle of another triangle then the two triangles are congruent to each other.

c) Angle - side - angle (ASA): If two angles and a side of a triangle are equal to a corresponding two angles and a side of another triangle then the two triangles are congruenr.

d) Right angle - hypotenuse - side (RHS): If for two right angled triangles, their hypotenuse and a side (leg) are equal, then the two triangles are congruent.
