Step-by-step explanation:

In a positive correlation, an increase in the independent variable has a corresponding increase in the dependent variable.

What is correlation?

Correlation is a statistical measure that expresses the extent to which two variables are linearly related. We know a positive correlation—when the correlation coefficient is greater than 0 signifies that both variables move in the same direction. Also, A positive correlation exists when one variable decreases as the other variable decreases or one variable increases while the other increases.

The side lengths of triangle ABC are written in terms of the variable p, where p≥ 3. p+4 4p-1 3p B
Which is correct regarding the angles of the triangle? mm mzB O m/B>m/A> mZC Omze>m/A> m/B Omzc>m/B> m/A​

Answers

The correct statement that regarding the angles of triangle is option (C)  m∠C > m∠A > m∠B

The value of p ≥ 3

Consider the value p = 3

The length of the side AB = 4p - 1

= 4×3 - 1

= 12 - 1

= 11 units

The length of side BC = 3p

= 3×3

= 9 units

The length of the side AC = p + 4

= 3 + 4

= 7 units

Then length of AB > length of BC > length of AC

The angles opposite to the side AB, BC and AC are m∠C , m∠A and m∠B

Then  m∠C > m∠A > m∠B

Hence, the correct statement that regarding the angles of triangle is option (C)  m∠C > m∠A > m∠B

Two angles are complementary to each other. one angle measures 18°, and the other angle measures (8x − 28)°. determine the value of x. 12.5 20 44.5 16

Answers

The value of x in complementary angle is 12.5⁰.

We need to know about complementary angles to solve this problem. The complementary angle is the angle that can make another angle has a value of 90⁰. It can be written as

A + B = 90⁰

where A and B are the complementary angles.

From the question above, the given parameters are

A = 18⁰

B = (8x - 28)⁰

By substituting the given parameters, we can calculate the x value

A + B = 90⁰

18⁰ + (8x - 28)⁰ = 90⁰

The height of a triangle is 5 m longer than the base. If the area is 150 m2 , how long is the base?.

Answers

The base of the triangle is 15 meters.

Here, we are given that the height of a triangle is 5 m longer than the base.

Let the height of the triangle be h

Then, the base of the triangle will be = h - 5

Further, we are given that area of the triangle = 150 meter square

We know that area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

⇒ 150 = 1/2 × h × (h-5)

150 × 2 = h(h-5)

300 = [tex]h^{2}[/tex] - 5h

[tex]h^{2}[/tex] - 5h - 300 = 0

Now, we solve the above quadratic equation by splitting the middle term.

[tex]h^{2}[/tex] + 15h - 20h - 300 = 0

h( h + 15) - 20( h + 15) = 0

(h - 20) (h + 15) = 0

Thus, h = 20 or -15

But since height cannot be negative, h = 20

⇒ base = h - 5

= 20 - 5

= 15 meters

Thus, the base of the triangle is 15 meters.

in a survey of 2480 golfers, 15% said they were left-handed. the survey's margin of error was 3%. construct a confidence interval for the proportion of left-handed golfers.

Answers

The confidence interval for the proportion of left-handed golfers is of:

(0.12, 0.18).

How to obtain a confidence interval?

A confidence interval is calculated as the sample mean plus/minus the margin of error, hence the bounds of the confidence interval are given as follows:

Lower bound: sample mean - margin of error.Upper bound: sample mean + margin of error.

In the context of this problem, these parameters are given as follows:

Sample mean: 15% as a percentage, 0.15 as a proportion.Margin of error: 3% as a percentage, 0.03 as a proportion.

Hence the lower bound of the confidence interval for the proportion of left-handed golfers is:

0.15 - 0.03 = 0.12.

The upper bound of the confidence interval for the proportion of left-handed golfers is:

0.15 + 0.03 = 0.18.

Then the interval is:

Explanation:
A 5-sided shape has a sum of 540°.

120+118+73+89+x=540
400+x=540
x=140°

Answer: x = 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all interior angles in a pentagon is 540°.

Since you have every other angle except for one, you can subtract them from the total:

540°-120°-118°-89°-73° = 140°

Lydia buy 5 pound of apple and 3 pound of banana for a total cot of $8. 50. Ari buy 3 pound of apple and 2 pound of banana for a total cot of $5. 25. Thi ytem of equation repreent the ituation, where x i the cot per pound of apple, and y i the cot per pound of banana

Answers

We need to multiply equation 2 with 3 and result is x = 1.25. The cost of one apple and one banana is $1.25 and $0.75 respectively.

Forming the equation using given variables x and y. Firstly writing the equation based on Lydia's items.

5x + 3y = 8.50 : Equation 1

Now writing the equation based on Ari's items.

3x + 2y = 5.25 : Equation 2

Now we need to equate one variable to find the other variable. So, multiplying equation 1 with 2 and equation 2 with 3.

10x + 6y = 17 : Equation 3

9x + 6y = 15.75 : Equation 4

Subtracting equation 4 from equation 3. We get the result -

x = 1.25

Keep the value of x in equation 1 to find the value of y

5×1.25 + 3y = 8.50

6.25 + 3y = 8.50

3y = 8.50 - 6.25

3y = 2.25

y = 2.25/3

y = 0.75

Thus, the cost of one apple is $1.25 and cost of one banana is $0.75.

Every time a force pushes something over a distance, work is done. By multiplying the force by the distance moved in the force's direction, you may determine the energy transferred, or work done. Energy transmitted equals work done, which is force times the distance travelled in the force's direction.

According to the Centroid Ratio Theorem , we have:

                    x = 37 , DG = 22,

                   AG = 44  and AD = 66

Centroid Ratio Theorem:

The Centroid ratio theorem states that the centroid of the triangle is at 2/3 of the distance from the vertex to the mid point of the side.

according to the centroid ratio theorem, we have,

                        AG = 2/3 (AD)       ----------------------------- (1)

                        AG = x + 7

                        DG = x - 15

                        AD = x + 7 + x- 15 = 2x - 8

Putting the values in equation (1)

     x + 7 = 2/3 (2x - 8)

⇒ 3(x + 7) = 2( 2x - 8)

⇒3x + 21 = 4x - 16

⇒ -x = -37

⇒ x = 37

Putting the value of x= 37

DG = 37 - 15 = 22

AG = 37 +7 = 44

AD= 2×37 - 8 = 66

if the probability that a particular event occurs is 7/10, what are the odds favoring the event not occurring? express your answer in the form a:b.

Answers

For the probability of any particular event occurring is 7 /10 then odds of favoring the event which is not occurring in the form of a: b is equal to

7 : 3.

As given in the question,

Probability of any particular event occurring is equal to 7 /10

Probability of any particular event not occurring is = 1- (7/10)

                                                                                    = (10 -7) /10

                                                                                    = 3/10

Probability of the odds favoring the events which are not occurring

= (7 /10) / (3/10)

= ( 7 × 10) / (3 × 10)

= 7 /3

Odds favoring the events which are not occurring in the form a: b

= 7 : 3

The probability that at least one person will receive the correct letter is 2/3.

Each envelope has exactly one letter inside it once the letters are randomly placed inside.

Aa, Bb, Cc, Aa, Bc, Cb, Ab, Ba, Cc, Ab, Bc, Ca, Ac, Bb, Ca, Ac, Ba, Cb, are all possible combinations.

Thus, the total number of scenarios is 6 (n(S)).

A=(Aa, Bb, Cc), (Aa, Bc, Cb), (Ac, Bb, Ca), (Ab, Ba, Cc), n(A)=4

let A be an event that at least one letter is in its right envelope.
