(Show full work please) Carter spots an airplane on radar that is currently approaching in a straight line, and
that will fly directly overhead. The plane maintains a constant altitude of 7250 feet.
Carter initially measures an angle of elevation of 16 to the plane at point A. At some
later time, he measures an angle of elevation of 26° to the plane at point B. Find the
distance the plane traveled from point A to point B. Round your answer to the
nearest foot if necessary
Answers
Consult the attached diagram.
In the larger triangle,
tan(16°) = (7250 ft) / (x + y)
and in the smaller triangle,
tan(26°) = (7250 ft) / y
You want to solve for x.
From the first equation (I'm ignoring units from here on, all distances are measured in ft), you have
(x + y) tan(16°) = 7250
x tan(16°) + y tan(16°) = 7250
x tan(16°) = 7250 - y tan(16°)
x = 7250 cot(16°) - y
From the second equation,
y = 7250 cot(26°)
Solving for x gives
x = 7250 cot(16°) - 7250 cot(26°)
x = 7250 (cot(16°) - cot(26°))
x ≈ 10,433 ft
The distance the plane traveled from point A to point B is 10,433 ft.
We have given that,
Carter spots an airplane on the radar that is currently approaching in a straight line, and that will fly directly overhead.
The plane maintains a constant altitude of 7250 feet.
In the larger triangle,tan(16°) = (7250 ft) / (x + y)and in the smaller triangle,
What is the tan ratio?[tex]tan(\ theta)=\frac{\\opposite \side }{hypotenouse}[/tex]tan(26°) = (7250 ft) / y
we have to solve for x.
From the first equation (I'm ignoring units from here on, all distances are measured in ft),
you have
(x + y) tan(16°) = 7250
x tan(16°) + y tan(16°) = 7250
x tan(16°) = 7250 - y tan(16°)
x = 7250 cot(16°) - y
From the second equation,
y = 7250 cot(26°)
Solving for x gives
x = 7250 cot(16°) - 7250 cot(26°)
x = 7250 (cot(16°) - cot(26°))x ≈ 10,433 ft
Therefore the distance the plane traveled from point A to point B is 10,433 ft.

Suppose a batch of metal shafts produced in a manufacturing company have a standard deviation of 2 and a mean diameter of 200 inches.
If 83 shafts are sampled at random from the batch, what is the probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by less than 0.2 inches? Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answers
Answer:
0.6372 = 63.72% probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by less than 0.2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Standard deviation of 2 and a mean diameter of 200 inches.
This means that [tex]\sigma = 2, \mu = 200[/tex]
83 shafts
This means that [tex]n = 83, s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{83}}[/tex]
What is the probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by less than 0.2 inches?
Mean between 200 - 0.2 = 199.8 inches and 200 + 0.2 = 200.2 inches, which is the p-value of Z when X = 200.2 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 199.8.
X = 200.2
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{200.2 - 200}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{83}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.91[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.91[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8186
X = 199.8
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{199.8 - 200}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{83}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.91[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.91[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1814
0.8186 - 0.1814 = 0.6372
0.6372 = 63.72% probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by less than 0.2 inches.

The moment generating function for health care costs experienced by a policyholder is given as follows:
Mx(t)= (4/4-t)^3
An insurer reimburses the policyholder for 70% of health care costs experienced by the policyholder. Calculate the expected reimbursement by the insurer for a policyholder.
Answers
Answer:
0.525 = 52.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Moment generating function ( Mx(t) ) = ( 4 / 4-t)^3
Reimbursement by Insurer = 70%
Determine the expected reimbursement by insurer for policyholder
d/dx (Mx(t) ) = d/dt ( 4 / 4-t)^3 = d/dt (1 - t/4 )^-3
= 3/4 ( 1 - t/4 )^-4 = 3/4
as t → 0
Given that the insurer reimburses 70% = 0.7
expected reimbursement = 0.7 * 3/4 = 0.7 * 0.75 = 0.525

A preliminary sample showed that 30.0% of the families in this sample own this company's product. The sample size that would limit the margin of error to be within 0.047 of the population proportion is:
Answers
Answer:
The sample size is of 366.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
The margin of error is of:
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
A preliminary sample showed that 30.0% of the families in this sample own this company's product.
This means that [tex]\pi = 0.3[/tex]
95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
The sample size that would limit the margin of error to be within 0.047 of the population proportion is:
This is n for which [tex]M = 0.047[/tex]. So
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.047 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3*0.7}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.047\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.3*0.7}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.3*0.7}}{0.047}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.3*0.7}}{0.047})^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 365.2[/tex]
Rounding up:
The sample size is of 366.

Substance A decomposes at a rate proportional to the amount of A present. a) Write an equation that gives the amount A left of an initial amount A0 after time t. b) It is found that 8 lb of A will reduce to 4 lb in 4.6 hr After how long will there be only 1 lb left?
a) Choose the equation that gives A in terms of A0, t, and k, where k > 0.
b) There will be 1 lb left after 14 hr (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
Answers
Answer:
(a) [tex]A = A_0 * e^{kt}[/tex]
(b) There will be 1lb left after 14 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving (a): The equation
Since the substance decomposes at a proportional rate, then it follows the following equation
[tex]A(t) = A_0 * e^{kt}[/tex]
Where
[tex]A_0 \to[/tex] Initial Amount
[tex]k \to[/tex] rate
[tex]t \to[/tex] time
[tex]A(t) \to[/tex] Amount at time t
Solving (b):
We have:
[tex]t = 4.6hr[/tex]
[tex]A_0 = 8[/tex]
[tex]A(4.6) = 4[/tex]
First, we calculate k using:
[tex]A(t) = A_0 * e^{kt}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]A(4.6) = 8 * e^{k*4.6}[/tex]
Substitute: [tex]A(4.6) = 4[/tex]
[tex]4 = 8 * e^{k*4.6}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4
[tex]0.5 = e^{k*4.6}[/tex]
Take natural logarithm of both sides
[tex]\ln(0.5) = \ln(e^{k*4.6})[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]-0.6931 = k*4.6[/tex]
Solve for k
[tex]k = \frac{-0.6931}{4.6}[/tex]
[tex]k = -0.1507[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]A(t) = A_0 * e^{kt}[/tex]
[tex]A(t) = 8e^{-0.1507t}[/tex]
To calculate the time when 1 lb will remain, we have:
[tex]A(t) = 1[/tex]
So, the equation becomes
[tex]1= 8e^{-0.1507t}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8
[tex]0.125= e^{-0.1507t}[/tex]
Take natural logarithm of both sides
[tex]\ln(0.125)= \ln(e^{-0.1507t})[/tex]
[tex]-2.0794= -0.1507t[/tex]
Solve for t
[tex]t = \frac{-2.0794}{-0.1507}[/tex]
[tex]t = 13.7983[/tex]
[tex]t = 14[/tex] --- approximated
