The lengths of the sides of triangle PQR are consecutive even integers. The perimeter of triangle PQR is 42 cm. What is the leng

Answer:

16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive even integers representing the sides of the triangle PQR be x, (x +2) and (x + 4).

Since, perimeter of triangle PQR = 42 cm

\therefore \: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 42 \\ 3x + 6 = 42 \\ 3x = 42 - 6 \\ 3x = 36 \\ x =  \frac{36}{3}  \\ x = 12 \\  \\  \because \: longest \: side = x + 4 \\  \therefore \:  longest \: side = 12 + 4 \\  \red{ \bold{ \therefore \:  longest \: side = 16 \: cm}} \\

Suppose that public opinion in a large city is 55% in favor of increasing taxes to support renewable energy and 45% against such
Harman [31]

Answer:

The approximate probability that more than 360 of these people will be against increasing taxes is P(Z> <u>0.6-0.45)</u>

                                              √0.45*0.55/600

The right answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

sample size, h=600

probability against increase tax p=0.45

The probability that in a sample of 600 people, more that 360 people will be against increasing taxes.

We find that P(P>360/600)=P(P>0.6)

The sample proposition of p is approximately normally distributed mith mean p=0.45

standard deviation σ=√P(1-P)/n=√0.45(1-0.45)/600

If x≅N(u,σ∧∧-2), then z=(x-u)/σ≅N(0,1)

Now, P(P>0.6)=P(<u>P-P</u>   >     <u>0.6-0.45)</u>

                             σ          √0.45*0.55/600

=P(Z> <u>0.6-0.45)</u>

       √0.45*0.55/600

Consider the function represented by the graph. What is the domain of this function
Neporo4naja [7]
The end of the ray stops the x values from proceeding left at x=0. So your domain is from that point on to infinity. In your solution set x >= 0, since the arrow continues on the right side where x's are positive.

A simple random sample of 100 concert tickets was drawn from a normal population. The mean and standard deviation of the sample
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

We accept the null hypothesis and the population mean is $120.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 100

Sample mean, \bar{x} = $120

Alpha, α = 0.01

Sample standard deviation, s = $25

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 125\\H_A: \mu \neq 125

We use two-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = -2.0              

p-value one tail= 0.024

p-value two tail= 0.048

Conclusion:

Since the p-value for two tailed test is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept it.

Thus, the population mean is $120.

An oblique prism has trapezoidal bases and a vertical height of 10 units. An oblique trapezoidal prism is shown. The trapezoid h
denis23 [38]

Answer:

volume of trapezoidal prism = 15x^2 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, area of the trapezoidal bases.

Parallel sides measure x and 2x, for an average of 1.5x.

Height = x

Area of trapezoidal base = 1.5x*x = 1.5x^2

Volume of prism = area base * height

(length does not matter, height does)

= 1.5x^2 * 10 = 15x^2
