from an observer o, the angles of elevation of the bottom and the top of a flagpole are 40° and 45° respectively.find the height of the flagpole?
Answers
Answer:
Take a look of the image below, we can think on this problem as a problem of two triangle rectangles.
We can see that both triangles share the adjacent cathetus, then the height of the flagpole is just the difference between the opposite cathetus.
Remember the relation:
Tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)
So, if we define H as the height of the cliff
X as the distance between the observer and the cliff
and h as the height of the flagopole
we can write:
tan(40°) = H/X
tan(45°) = (H + h)/X
Notice that we have two equations and 3 variables (we should have the same number of equations than variables) then here is missing information, and we can't get an exact solution for the height of the flagpole.
But we can write it in terms of the height of the cliff H, or in terms of the distance between the observer and the cliff.
We want to find the value of h.
If we take the quotient between both equations, we get:
Tan(45°)/Tan(40°) = (H + h)/H
1.192 = (H + h)/H
1.192*H = H + h
1.192*H - H = h
0.192*H = h
So the height of the flagpole is 0.192 times the height of the cliff.

Answers
Answer:
25 ; 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
____________For __ Against __ No Opinion
21-40 years _________20 _______5
41-60 years ___20 ______________20
Over 60 years _55____ 15________ 5
Given that :
40% of 21-40 are against
Then :
40% = 20
To a obtain 100% of 21 - 40
40% = 20
100% = x
Cross multiply
0.4x = 20
x = 20/0.4
x = 50
100% of 21 - 40 = 50 people
For = 50 - (20 + 5)
= 50 - 25
= 25
2.)
Total who have no opinion :
(5 + 20 + 5) = 30
30 = 15%
Total number surveyed will be , x :
30 = 15%
x = 100%
Cross multiply :
0.15x = 30
x = 30/0.15
x = 200
Number of 41 - 60 against an increase, y:
(25 + 20 + 5 + 20 + y + 20 + 55 + 15 + 5) = 200
165 + y = 200
y = 200 - 165

The variance
This is calculated using:

So, we have:
[tex]Var = 40 * \frac{1}{20} * (1 - \frac{1}{20})[/tex]
[tex]Var = 40 * \frac{1}{20} * \frac{19}{20}[/tex]

g(x) = (x - 1)² + 1g(-x) = (-x - 1)² + 1This is not correct as x - 1 ≠ -x - 1 so as their squares, so g(x) ≠ g(-x)

a. What is the margin of error for a 98% confidence interval? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
b. What is the 98% confidence interval for the population mean? (Use Student's t Distribution Table.) (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answers
Answer:
a) The margin of error for a 98% confidence interval is of 3.388 people.
b) The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is between 20.61 people and 27.39 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 15 - 1 = 14
98% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 14 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99[/tex]. So we have T = 2.624
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.624\frac{5}{\sqrt{15}} = 3.388[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. This means that the answer to question a is of 3.388.
Question b:
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 24 - 3.39 = 20.61 people
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 24 + 3.39 = 27.39 people.
The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is between 20.61 people and 27.39 people.
2. If 5 mg in 2 ml of liquid medication, how many mg is in 4 ml of medication?
Answers
Answer:
10mg
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a proportional relationship.
We know that there are 5mg in 2ml of liquid medication.
Now we want to know how many mg there are in 4 ml of medication.
First, we can rewrite it as:
4ml = 2ml + 2ml
And we know that, in every 2 ml of medicine, there are 5mg.
Then if we have two times 2ml of medicine, we have two times 5mg.
This is:
2*5mg = 10mg

Hattie had $3,000 to invest and wants to earn 10.6% interest per year. She will put some of the money into an account that earns 12% per year and the rest into an account that earns 10% per year. How much money should she put into each account?
Answers
Answer:
900 at 12%
2100 at 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= amount invested at 12%
let y= amount invested at 10%
with that being said we can write the two equation
Equation 1: x+y=3000
Equation 2: 3000*.106=.12x+.1y
isolte x from equation 1
x= 3000-y
plug this into equation 2
318=.12(3000-y)+.1y
318=360-.12y+.1y
-42= -.02y
y= 2100
Plug this into equation 1
x+2100=3000
x=900
she should invest $900 into the account earning 12% interest and $2100 into the account earning 10% interest.
How to determine How much money should she put into each accountLet's denote the amount of money Hattie invests at 12% as \(x\) dollars, and the amount she invests at 10% as \(\$3000 - x\) dollars.
The formula for calculating interest is: \(\text{Interest} = \text{Principal} \times \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}\).
For the 12% account:
Interest_12% = \(x \times 0.12 \times 1\) (1 year)
For the 10% account:
Interest_10% = \((3000 - x) \times 0.10 \times 1\) (1 year)
Hattie wants to earn 10.6% interest on the total investment, so we can set up the equation:
\(\text{Total Interest} = \text{Interest}_12% + \text{Interest}_10%\)
\(3000 \times 0.106 = x \times 0.12 + (3000 - x) \times 0.10\)
Now, solve for \(x\):
\(318 = 0.12x + 300 - 0.10x\)
\(318 = 0.02x + 300\)
\(18 = 0.02x\)
\(x = 900\)
Hattie should invest $900 at 12% and \(3000 - 900 = 2100\) at 10%.
Therefore, she should invest $900 into the account earning 12% interest and $2100 into the account earning 10% interest.

Lindsay is checking out books at the library, and she is primarily interested in mysteries and nonfiction. She has narrowed her selection down to ten mysteries and twelve Nonfiction books. If she randomly chooses four books fro her selections, what’s the probability that they will all be nonfiction?
twelve nonfiction books. If she randomly chooses four books
answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.
Answer
Answers
Answer:
0.0677 = 6.77% probability that they will all be nonfiction
Step-by-step explanation:
The books are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
In which:
x is the number of successes.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this question:
10 + 12 = 22 books.
She chooses 4 books, which means that [tex]n = 4[/tex]
12 nonfiction, which meas that [tex]k = 12[/tex]
What’s the probability that they will all be nonfiction?
This is P(X = 4). So
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = h(4,22,4,12) = \frac{C_{12,4}*C_{10,0}}{C_{22,4}} = 0.0677[/tex]
0.0677 = 6.77% probability that they will all be nonfiction
