Answer:

EG = 19

Explanation:

Given that a line segment CD. EF bisects the line CD at point G.

Length of CG = 5x-1

Length of GD = 7x - 13

We know that CG = GD

5x-1 = 7x-13

Solve for x,

2x = 12

x = 6

Now given that,

EF = 6x-4

GF = 13

EF = EG + GF

6x - 4 = EG + 13

EG = 6x - 4 - 13

EG = 6x - 17

put the value of x = 6, in order to find the EG

EG = 6*6 - 17

EG = 19

That's the final answer.

I hope it will help you.

5x-1=7x-13 —> subtract 7x from both sides and add 1 to both sides —> -2x-12 —> divide both sides by -2 —> x=6

For a specific location in a particularly rainy city, the time a new thunderstorm begins to produce rain (first drop time) is un

ikadub [295]

Answer:

b) 0.0608

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is mentioned that the next two days i.e 24 hours, the probability of the rain is uniformly distributed

Therefore the rain probability is

$= \frac{T}{24}$

where,

T = Length of the time interval

Plus, as we know that rain is independent

So let us assume the rain between the 8: 40 AM and 2: 35 PM on single day is P1 and the time interval is 5 hours 55 minutes

i.e

= 5.91666 hours long.

So, P1 should be

$= \frac{5.91666}{24}$

= 0.2465

Now we assume the probability of rain on day 2 is P2

So it would be same i.e 0.2465

Since these events are independent

So, the total probability is

$= 0.2465 \times 0.2465$

= 0.0608

Hence, the b option is correct

The sum of 23.8 and a number is 28.17, as shown below. What number should go in the box to complete the addition problem?

gregori [183]

Since there is no picture to show the box, all I can say is that 28.17- 23.8 = 4.37 and 23.8 + 4.37 = 28.17

According to the Vivino website, suppose the mean price for a bottle of red wine that scores 4.0 or higher on the Vivino Rating

Natali [406]

Answer:

a) Null and alternative hypothesis

$H_0: \mu=32.48\\\\H_a:\mu< 32.48$

b) Test statistic t=-1.565

P-value = 0.0612

NOTE: the sample size is n=65.

c) Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that the price in Providence for a bottle of red wine that scores 4.0 or higher on the Vivino Rating System is less than the population mean of $32.48.

d) Null and alternative hypothesis

$H_0: \mu=32.48\\\\H_a:\mu< 32.48$

Test statistic t=-1.565

Critical value tc=-1.669

t>tc --> Do not reject H0

Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that the price in Providence for a bottle of red wine that scores 4.0 or higher on the Vivino Rating System is less than the population mean of $32.48.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the mean price in Providence for a bottle of red wine that scores 4.0 or higher on the Vivino Rating System is less than the population mean of $32.48.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu=32.48\\\\H_a:\mu< 32.48$

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=65.

The sample mean is M=30.15.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=12.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

$s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{65}}=1.4884$

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

$t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{30.15-32.48}{1.4884}=\dfrac{-2.33}{1.4884}=-1.565$

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

$df=n-1=65-1=64$

This test is a left-tailed test, with 64 degrees of freedom and t=-1.565, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

$\text{P-value}=P(t$

As the P-value (0.0612) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the mean price in Providence for a bottle of red wine that scores 4.0 or higher on the Vivino Rating System is less than the population mean of $32.48.

<u>Critical value approach</u>

<u></u>

At a significance level of 0.05, for a left-tailed test, with 64 degrees of freedom, the critical value is t=-1.669.

As the test statistic is greater than the critical value, it falls in the acceptance region.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
