This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, that are longer than the length of the base, b. The perimeter of the t

riangle is 15.7 centimeters. The equation 2a + b = 15.7 can be used to find the side lengths. If one of the longer sides is 6.3 centimeters, what is the length of the base?

Isosollese triangle has 2 equal sides that are longer than legnth of base
perimiter=15.7
equation is 2a+b=15.7
so if the longer side is 6.3, wat is legnth of base
we know that identical sides are bigger so 6.3 is one of the identical sides
2a means the 2 idneical sides
2(6.3)+b=15.7
12.6+b=15.7
subtract 12.6 from btohs ides
b=3.1
answer is base=3.1 cm

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.

The Census Bureau reports that 82% of Americans over the age of 25 are high school graduates. A survey of randomly selected resi

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

a) Mean = 1030; Standard deviation = 12.38.

b) The county result is unusually high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

(a) Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of high school graduates in groups of 1210 Americans over the age of 25.

This first question is a binomial propability distribution.

We have a sample of 1210 Amricans, so $n = 1210$ .

The mean of the sample is 1030.

The probability of a success is $\pi = \frac{1030}{1210} = 0.8512$ .

The standard deviation of the sample is $s = \sqrt{n\pi(1-\pi)} = \sqrt{1210*0.8512*0.1488} = 12.38$

(b) Is that county result of 1030 unusually high, or low, or neither?

The first step is find the zscore when $X = 1030$ .

Then we find the pvalue of this zscore.

If this pvalue is bigger than 0.95, the county result is unusually high.

If this pvalue is smaller than 0.05, the county result is unusually low.

Otherwise, it is neither.

The national mean is 82%. So,

$\mu = 0.82(1210) = 992.2$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1030 - 992.2}{12.38}$

$Z = 3.05$

$Z = 3.05$ has a pvalue of 0.9989.This means that the county result is unusually high.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The 95% of confidence intervals

(2.84 ,2.99)

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of 20 accounting students results in a mean of 2.92 and a standard deviation of 0.16

given small sample size n =20

sample mean x⁻ =2.92

sample standard deviation 'S' =0.16

level of significance ∝ = 0.95

The 95% of confidence intervals

$x^{-} ± t_{\alpha } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }$

the degrees of freedom γ=n-1 =20-1=19

t-table 2.093

$(x^{-} - t_{\alpha } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} },x^{-} + t_{\alpha } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} })$

$(2.92 - 2.093(\frac{0.16}{\sqrt{20} } ,2.92+2.093(\frac{0.16}{\sqrt{20} } )$

(2.92-0.0748,2.92+0.0748)

(2.84 ,2.99)

Therefore the 95% of confidence intervals

(2.84 ,2.99)

An unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30{,}00030,00030, comma, 000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck

kari74 [83]

Answer:

1131 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30,000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck holds 26 pallets of cargo, and each of the 18 tires of the fully loaded semi-truck bears approximately 3,300 pounds.

First of all, we will find weight of 18 tires by multiplying 18 by 3,300 as:

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=18\times 3,300$

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=59,400$

The weight of 26 pallets would be weight of 18 tires minus weight of unloaded truck.

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=59,400-30,000$

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=29,400$

Now, we will divide 29,400 by 26 to find average weight of one pallet of cargo.

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=\frac{29,400}{26}$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=1130.769230769$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}\approx 1131$

Therefore, the average weight of one pallet of cargo is approximately 1131 pounds.
