In Δ ABC, ∠A=120°, AB=AC=1

To draw a circumscribed circle Draw perpendicular bisectors of any of two sides.The point where these bisectors meet is the center of the circle.Mark the center as O.

Then join OA, OB, and OC.

Taking any one OA,OB and OC as radius draw the circumcircle.

Now, from O Draw OM⊥AB and ON⊥AC.

As chord AB and AC are equal,So OM and ON will also be equal.

The reason being that equal chords are equidistant from the center.

AM=MB=1/2 and AN=NC=1/2 [ perpendicular from the center to the chord bisects the chord.]

In Δ OMA and ΔONA

OM=ON [proved above]

OA is common.

MA=NA=1/2 [proved above]

ΔOMA≅ ONA [SSS]

∴ ∠OAN =∠OAM=60° [ CPCT]

In Δ OAN

$\cos60=\frac {AN}{OA}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{OA}$

OA=1

∴ OA=OB=OC=1, which is the radius of given Circumscribed circle.

Consider the following sample of observations on coating thickness for low-viscosity paint.

Julli [10]

Answer:

a) $\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And for this case if we use this formula we got:

$\bar x = 1.3538$

b) Since we have n =16 values for the sample the median can be calculated as the average between position 8th anf 9th and we got:

$Median = \frac{1.31+1.46}{2}= 1.385$

c) $P(X>a)=0.1$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.9 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$

$P(z$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=1.3538 +1.28*0.3505=1.8024$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 1.8024.

d) $Median= \frac{x_{8} +x_{9}}{2}$

The variance for this estimator is given by:

$Var(\frac{x_{8} +x_{9}}{2}) = \frac{1}{4} Var(X_{8} +X_{9})$

We can assume the obervations independent so then we have:

$Var(\frac{x_{8} +x_{9}}{2}) = \frac{1}{4} (2\sigma^2) = \frac{\sigma^2}{2}$

And replacing we got:

$Var(\frac{x_{8} +x_{9}}{2})= \frac{0.3105^2}{2}= 0.0482$

And the standard error would be given by:

$Sd(\frac{x_{8} +x_{9}}{2})= \sqrt{0.0482}=0.2196$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given:

0.86 0.88 0.88 1.07 1.09 1.17 1.29 1.31 1.46 1.49 1.59 1.62 1.65 1.71 1.76 1.83

Part a

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And for this case if we use this formula we got:

$\bar x = 1.3538$

Part b

For this case in order to calculate the median we need to put the data on increasing way like this:

0.86 0.88 0.88 1.07 1.09 1.17 1.29 1.31 1.46 1.49 1.59 1.62 1.65 1.71 1.76 1.83

Since we have n =16 values for the sample the median can be calculated as the average between position 8th anf 9th and we got:

$Median = \frac{1.31+1.46}{2}= 1.385$

Part c

For this case we can assume that the mean is $\mu = 1.3538$

And we can calculate the population deviation with the following formula:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{N}}$

And if we replace we got: $\sigma= 0.3105$

And assuming normal distribution we have this:

$X \sim N (\mu = 1.3538, \sigma= 0.3105)$

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.1$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.9 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$

$P(z$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=1.3538 +1.28*0.3505=1.8024$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 1.8024.

Part d

The median is defined as :

$Median= \frac{x_{8} +x_{9}}{2}$

The variance for this estimator is given by:

$Var(\frac{x_{8} +x_{9}}{2}) = \frac{1}{4} Var(X_{8} +X_{9})$

We can assume the obervations independent so then we have:

$Var(\frac{x_{8} +x_{9}}{2}) = \frac{1}{4} (2\sigma^2) = \frac{\sigma^2}{2}$

And replacing we got:

$Var(\frac{x_{8} +x_{9}}{2})= \frac{0.3105^2}{2}= 0.0482$

And the standard error would be given by:

$Sd(\frac{x_{8} +x_{9}}{2})= \sqrt{0.0482}=0.2196$

Raymond can paint 5/8 of a wall in 16minutes. How long would it take him to paint 1/3 of a wall?

givi [52]

Answer:

128/15 min or 8.5 min

Step-by-step explanation:

By using unitary method,

Time required to paint 5/8 of wall = 16 min.

Time required to paint 1/1 of wall = 16×8/5

Hence, Time required to paint 1/3 of wall = 16×8/5×1/3

What is the length of the diagonal of the square shown below?

Usimov [2.4K]

Hey,here is the answer to ur question......!!!!
Since it is a square and all angles =90
Therefore to
Find length of the diagonal we have to use Pythagoras theorem....!
So, (AC)^2=(AB)^2+(BC)^2
=>(AC)^2=(11)^2+(11)^2
=>(AC)^2=121+121
=>(AC)^2=242
=>AC=root242
=>AC=11root2
=>length of the diagonal =11root2
Hope this helps u....!!!!

wariber [46]

Given:
standard deviation = 4.3%
sample size = 15
mean = 26.4%

error = σ/√n

error = 4.3% / √15

error = 4.3% / 3.873

error = 0.0111

0.0111 x 100% = 1.11%
