Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By triangle theorem for similarity we have

AC||DE if and only if

the ratios

$\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{CE}{EB}$

Option I:

Here we find the ratios are equal to 1/2

Hence parallel

OPtion 2:

Here we get both ratios equal to 2/3 Hence parallel

Option 3:

Here we get I ratio =2/5 and II ratio =4/7

Since the two are not equal we get not parallel

Manny is making 12 quarts of orange juice from concentrate and water. The number of quarts of water is 3 times the number of qua

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: There are 3 quarts of concentrate and 9 quarts of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of number of quarts of water to number of quarts of concentrate is

3:1

Number of quarts of orange juice from concentrate and water = 12 quarts

So, the number of quarts of concentrate would be

$\dfrac{1}{4}\times 12\\\\=\dfrac{12}{4}\\\\=3\ quarts$

the number of quarts of water would be

$\dfrac{3}{4}\times 12\\\\=3\times 3\\\\=9\ quarts$

Hence, there are 3 quarts of concentrate and 9 quarts of water.

A dealer bought 3 gross buttons at $.38 a dozen. He sold the buttons at 5 cents each. How much was his profit per gross?(12 doze

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

$0.60 - $0.38 = $0.22

As 12 dozen is 1 gross, the profit per gross would be

12 * $0.22 = $2.64

What is the sum of StartRoot negative 2 EndRoot and StartRoot negative 18 EndRoot?

Darya [45]

Answer:

$4 \sqrt{2} i$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the sum of

$\sqrt{ - 2} + \sqrt{ - 18}$

We can rewrite this as

$\sqrt{ 2 \times - 1} + \sqrt{ 18 \times - 1}$

This becomes;

$\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{ - 1} + \sqrt{18} \times \sqrt{ - 1}$

Recall that;

$i = \sqrt{ - 1}$

This implies that;

$\sqrt{2} i + 3 \sqrt{2} i$

Combine like terms:

$4 \sqrt{2} i$

The extract of a plant native to Taiwan has been tested as a possible treatment for Leukemia. One of the chemical compounds prod

True [87]

Answer:

a) 57.35%

b) 99.99%

c) 68.27%

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a random variable X that is normally distributed with mean $\large\bf \mu$ and standard deviation $\large\bf \sigma$ , then

The probability that the random variable has a value less than a, P(X < a) = P(X ≤ a) is the area under the normal curve with mean $\large\bf \mu$ and standard deviation $\large\bf \sigma$ to the left of a.

The probability that the random variable has a value greater than b, P(X > b) = P(X ≥ b) is the area under the normal curve with mean $\large\bf \mu$ and standard deviation $\large\bf \sigma$ to the right of b.

The probability that the random variable has a value between a and b, P(a < X < b) = P(a ≤ X ≤ b) = P(a < X ≤ b)= P(a ≤ X < b) is the area under the normal curve with mean $\large\bf \mu$ and standard deviation $\large\bf \sigma$ between a and b.

In this case, the random variable is the collagen amount found in the extract of the plant. The mean is 63 g/ml and the standard deviation is 5.4 g/ml

(a) What is the probability that the amount of collagen is greater than 62 grams per mililiter?

As we have seen, we need to find the area under the normal curve with mean 63 and standard deviation 5.4 to the right of 62 (see picture).

You can find this value easily with a calculator or a spreadsheet. If you prefer the old-style, then you have to standardize the values and look up in a table.

If you have access to Excel or OpenOffice Calc, you can find this value by introducing the formula:

1- NORMDIST(62,63,5.4,1) in Excel

1 - NORMDIST(62;63;5.4;1) in OpenOffice Calc

and we will get a value of 0.5735 or 57.35%

(b) What is the probability that the amount of collagen is less than 90 grams per mililiter?

Now we want the area to the left of 90

NORMDIST(90,63,5.4,1) in Excel

NORMDIST(90;63;5.4;1) in OpenOffice Calc

You will get a value of 0.9999 or 99.99%

(c) What percentage of compounds formed from the extract of this plant fall within 1 standard deviations of the mean?

You can use either the rule that 68.27% of the data falls between $\large\bf \mu -\sigma$ and $\large\bf \mu +\sigma$ or compute area between 63 - 5.4 and 63 + 5.4, that is to say, the area between 57.6 and 68.4

In Excel

NORMDIST(68.4,63,5.4,1) - NORMDIST(57.6,63,5.4,1)

In OpenOffice Calc

NORMDIST(68.4;63;5.4;1) - NORMDIST(57.6;63;5.4;1)

In any case we get a value of 0.6827 or 68.27%
