The probability that Rebecka selects a terrier and Aaron selects a retriever is 10/121

The distribution of the puppies is given as:

4 ​poodles, 5 ​terriers, and 2 retrievers

The probability of selecting a terrier is;

P(terrier) = 5/11

The probability of selecting a retriever is;

P(retriever) = 2/11

The required probability is

P = 5/11 * 2/11

Evaluate

P = 10/121

Hence, the probability that Rebecka selects a terrier and Aaron selects a retriever is 10/121

The measure of the interior angle at vertex C is D. 144.

Based on the information given, the angle will be calculated thus:

8x + 8x + 8x + 3x + 3x = (5 - 2) × 180

30x = 540

Divide both side by 30

30x/30 = 540/30

Step-by-step explanation:

to be a tangent, it would have to have a 90° angle with the radius (12).

and that would make the triangle ABCenter of the circle a right-angled triangle.

and then Pythagoras must apply :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the baseline opposite of the 90° angle). in our case the 20-line.

so,

20² = 12² + 16²

400 = 144 + 256 = 400

yes, it is confirmed, because the Pythagoras principle applies, it is a right-angled triangle, and therefore AB is indeed a tangent.

Answer:

the line AB is tangent to the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

we have :

16² + 12² = 256 +144 = 400

On the other hand:

20² = 400

Then

16² + 12² = 20²

Then

According to the Pythagorean theorem:

The line AB is perpendicular to the radius of the circle

Which means the line AB is tangent to the circle.

Answer:

156 : 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Since

169 : 52 = 156 : X

Then we know

52/169 = X/156

Multiplying both sides by 156 cancels on the right

156 × (52/169) = (X/156) × 156

156 × (52/169) = X

Then solving for X

X = 156 × (52/169)

X = 48

Therefore

169 : 52 = 156 : 48

Answer:

We are 90% confident that the true mean lies between 8..6563 and     9.9437  

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of your estimate plus and minus the range of that estimate constitutes a confidence interval. Within a specific level of confidence, this is the range of values you anticipate your estimate to fall within if you repeat the test. Confidence is another word for probability.

mean (x) = 9.3                        

standard deviation (s) = 2                        

sample size (n) = 28                        

T- Distribution:

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27    

90% Confidence Interval ==> α = 0.1

critical value, t =  1.703 ( t-table)

standard error, SE = s/√n = 2 /√28 = 0.3780

margin of error, E = t × SE= 1.703 × 0.3780 = 0.6437

Confidence Interval: x ± E = 9.3 ± 0.6437

lower limit: x - E = 9.3 - 0.6437 = 8.6563    

upper limit: x + E = 9.3 + 0.6437 = 9.9437    

Confidence Interval: 8.6563 < µ < 9.9437

Z - Distribution:

Formula: Confidence Interval = x ± z (s/√n)

Sample Mean = s/√n = 2/√28 = 2/5.29 = 0.3781

z = 1.645 (from z - table)

From formula, z (s/√n): 0.3781 x 1.645 = 0.620 (rounded)

x ± 0.62

lower limit: x - 0.62 = 9.3 - 0.62 = 8.68  

upper limit: x + 0.62 = 9.3 + 0.62 = 9.92

Confidence Interval: 8.68 < µ < 9.92

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to determine the relationship between these two lines you have to find the slope.

=> if they have the same slope ,then they are parallel.

=> if they have negative inverse slope relative to each other ,then they are perpendicular.

=> if the slope for both equations is neither of the above cases ,then the two equations are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

so if we divide the first equation by 3 which is the commen factor for the whole equation and arrange it in the form y=mx +b it would give us y =5x +4. and since the two have the same slope which is 5 ,then we can conclude they are parallel lines.

Answer:

If the x-6 is all under the sqrt, the last answer is right:

6<= x <= infinity

If only x is under the sqrt and - 6 is NOT under the sqrt, then:

0 <= x <= infinity is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can look at the equation and or graph to determine the domain of a function. The domain is all the x's that may go into the equation or all the x's on the graph of the function. Inside of a squareroot symbol the number inside there must be positive. While considering the equation, only x's that keep that inside positive can be used.

For sqrt(x-6), x has to be 6 or bigger.

For sqrt(x) - 6, x has to be 0 or bigger.

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that 49.85% of buyers paid between $150,000 and $154,800.

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Considering the given mean and standard deviation, the interval between $150,000 and $154,800 corresponds to the interval between the mean and 3 standard deviations above the mean.

The normal distribution is symmetric(50% above the mean, 50% below), hence the percentage corresponding to this interval is:
