Consider two people where one person is 20​% taller than the other but proportioned in exactly the same way.​ (That is, the tall

er person looks like a larger version of the shorter​ person.) Suppose the shorter person has a 36​-inch waist. What size is the taller​ person's waist?

Answer:

43.2in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two people are equally proportional, then knowing the size of the waist of one of them, we gonna we be able to know the other's wais size, by the relation.

36in*(1*20%) = 36in*1.2 = 43.2in

<u>Answer:</u>

The taller person's waist size is 43.2 inches

<u>Solution:</u>

As given in the question, if 2 people are equal in proportion, then the taller person has 20% taller or larger waist than the smaller person in any given dimension. This means that, the taller person’s waist would be 120 % of the smaller person.

Hence, we multiply 1.2 (120%) with 36 inches (waist size of shorter person) which gives the waist size of the taller person as 43.2 inches.

36\times (1.2) = 43.2 inches.

In parallelogram WXYZ, WY = 12 in., XZ = 16 in., WX = 10 in., and XY = 9 in. What is the length of line segment MX? 6 in. 7 in.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Using the charasteristics of a parallelogram, the length of line segment MX is 8 in (Third option).

Step-by-step explanation:

In parallelogram WXYZ:

WY=12 in., this is a diagonal in the parallelogram

XZ=16 in., this is the other diagonal in the parallelogram

WX=10 in., this is one of the sides of the parallelogram

XY=9 in., this is the other side of the parallelogram

MX=? this segment is between the vertex X and the point of intersection of the diagonals

In a parallelogram the diagonals intersect (point M) dividing them in equal parts each other, then:

MX=MZ=XZ/2

MX=MZ=(16 in.)/2

MX=MZ=8 in.

preliminary sample of 100 labourers was selected from a population of 5000 labourers by simple random sampling. It was found tha
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

n=\frac{0.4(1-0.4)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=368.79  

n=369

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

X=40 number of the selected labourers opt for a new incentive scheme.

n=100 random sample taken

\hat p=\frac{40}{100}=0.4 estimated proportion of the selected labourers opt for a new incentive scheme.

p true population proportion of the selected labourers opt for a new incentive scheme.

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

2) Solution tot he problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.05 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.4(1-0.4)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=368.79  

And rounded up we have that n=369

Choose the product. -7p 3(4p 2 + 3p - 1)
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

14p -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-7p 3(4p 2+3p - 1)

3x4= 12p

3x3=9p

12+9= 21

21-7=14p

3x2=6

3x-3=-9

-9 +6= -3

= 14p -3

hope this helps :)

A million years ago, an alien species built a vertical tower on a horizontal plane. When they returned they discovered that the
velikii [3]

Answer:

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that measurements of three points on the ground gave coordinates of (0,0,0),(1,2,0) and (0,2,1)

We have to find the angle by which the tower now deviate from the vertical

We find cross product of <1,2,0> and <0,2,1>

\times =\begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\1&2&0\\0&2&1\end{vmatrix}

\times =2\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k}

Now, we are finding the angle between  \timesand vertical vector <0,0,1>

Angle between two vectors formula

cos\theta=\frac{a.b}{\mid a\mid\cdot\mid b\mid }

Now, using this formula

cos\theta=\frac{2}{1\cdot 3}=\frac{2}{3}

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})

Hence, the tower deviate from the vertical by the angle \theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})

David made a class banner out of a large rectangular piece of paper. He cut a
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

100 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the banner is equal to the area of the initial rectangle minus the area of the cutout triangle.

The rectangle has a height of 8 inches and width of 14 inches, so its area is:

A = (8 in) (14 in) = 112 in²

The triangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 3 inches, so its area is:

A = ½ (8 in) (3 in) = 12 in²

So the area of the banner is 112 in² − 12 in² = 100 in².
