We know that the square of distance between two points $$\displaystyle{\left({x}_{{1}},{y}_{{1}}\right)}{\quad\text{and}\quad}{\left({x}_{{2}},{y}_{{2}}\right)}{i}{s}{\left({x}_{{2}}-{x}_{{1}}\right)}^{{2}}+{\left(_{y}{2}-{y}_{{1}}\right)}^{{2}}$$ and the converse of pythagorus theorem , we have if sum of square of any two side is equal to square of third side of triangle, then it is right angled triangle.
Using distance formula and converse of pythagorus theorem , we find that ABC is right angled triangle right angled at A
A(-4,3), B(0,5), C(3,-4)
$$\displaystyle{c}^{{2}}={\left|{A}{B}\right|}^{{2}}={\left({0}+{4}\right)}^{{2}}+{\left({5}-{3}\right)}^{{2}}={16}+{4}={20}$$
$$\displaystyle{a}^{{2}}={\left|{B}{C}\right|}^{{2}}={\left({3}-{0}\right)}^{{2}}+{\left(-{4}-{5}\right)}^{{2}}={9}+{81}={90}$$
$$\displaystyle{b}^{{2}}={\left|{C}{A}\right|}^{{2}}={\left({3}+{4}\right)}^{{2}}+{\left(-{4}-{3}\right)}^{{2}}={49}+{49}={98}$$
$$\displaystyle{a}^{{2}}\ne{b}^{{2}}+{c}^{{2}}$$
$$\displaystyle{98}\ne{90}+{20}$$

What is the X value corresponding to $$z = - 0.50?$$ C. If all of the scores in the population are transformed into z-scores, what will be the values for the mean and standard deviation for the complete set of z-scores? D. What is the z-score corresponding to a sample mean of $$M=42$$ for a sample of $$n = 4$$ scores? E. What is the z-scores corresponding to a sample mean of $$M= 42$$ for a sample of $$n = 6$$ scores? 2. True or false: a. All normal distributions are symmetrical b. All normal distributions have a mean of 1.0 c. All normal distributions have a standard deviation of 1.0 d. The total area under the curve of all normal distributions is equal to 1 3. Interpret the location, direction, and distance (near or far) of the following zscores: $$a. -2.00 b. 1.25 c. 3.50 d. -0.34$$ 4. You are part of a trivia team and have tracked your team’s performance since you started playing, so you know that your scores are normally distributed with $$\mu = 78$$ and $$\sigma = 12$$. Recently, a new person joined the team, and you think the scores have gotten better. Use hypothesis testing to see if the average score has improved based on the following 8 weeks’ worth of score data: $$82, 74, 62, 68, 79, 94, 90, 81, 80$$. 5. You get hired as a server at a local restaurant, and the manager tells you that servers’ tips are $42 on average but vary about $$12 (\mu = 42, \sigma = 12)$$. You decide to track your tips to see if you make a different amount, but because this is your first job as a server, you don’t know if you will make more or less in tips. After working 16 shifts, you find that your average nightly amount is$44.50 from tips. Test for a difference between this value and the population mean at the $$\alpha = 0.05$$ level of significance.
