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.

0.8743 = 87.43% probability that more than one accident occurs per year
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

What is the probability that more than one accident occurs per year?
This is:
[tex]P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3.6}*(3.6)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0273[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3.6}*(3.6)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0984[/tex]
[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0273 + 0.0984 = 0.1257[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1) = 1 - 0.1257 = 0.8743[/tex]
0.8743 = 87.43% probability that more than one accident occurs per year

Answers
9514 1404 393
Answer:
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the smaller circles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their diameters. The two smallest circles have diameters equal to 1/4 the diameter of the largest circle. Hence their areas are (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of that of the largest circle.
Similarly, the medium circle has a diameter half that of the largest circle, so its area is (1/2)^2 = 1/4 of the are of the largest circle.
The smaller circles subtract 2×1/16 +1/4 = 3/8 of the area of the largest circle. Then the shading is 1-3/8 = 5/8 of the area of the largest circle.
Suppose a large shipment of televisions contained 9% defectives. If a sample of size 393 is selected, what is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%
Answers
Answer:
0.9624 = 96.24% probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%
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]
Suppose a large shipment of televisions contained 9% defectives
This means that [tex]p = 0.09[/tex]
Sample of size 393
This means that [tex]n = 393[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = p = 0.09[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.09*0.91}{393}} = 0.0144[/tex]
What is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%?
Proportion between 0.09 - 0.03 = 0.06 and 0.09 + 0.03 = 0.12, which is the p-value of Z when X = 0.12 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.06.
X = 0.12
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.12 - 0.09}{0.0144}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.08[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.08[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9812
X = 0.06
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.06 - 0.09}{0.0144}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.08[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.08[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0188
0.9812 - 0.0188 = 0.9624
0.9624 = 96.24% probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%

If sin ∅ = -sqrt{3} OVER 2 and π < ∅ < 3π OVER 2, what are the values of cos ∅ and tan ∅? What is ∅ in degrees and radians? Be sure to show and explain all work.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
sin ∅ = -(√3)/2
Note that
cos²∅ + sin²∅ = 1
cos²∅ = 1 - sin²∅
= 1 - (-√3 / 2)²
= 1 - (-√3)²/ 2²
= 1 - 3/4
= 1/4
cos²∅ = 1/4
Taking square root of both sides
cos∅ = 1/2
Note that tan∅ = sin∅/cos∅
therefore, tan∅ = -(√3)/2 ÷ 1/2
= -(√3)/2 × 2/1
= -√3
tan∅ = -√3
Since sin∅ = -√3 /2
Then ∅ = -60⁰
The value of ∅ for the given range (third quadrant) is 240⁰.
NB: sin∅ = sin(180-∅)
Also, since 180⁰ is π radians, then ∅ = 4π/3

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation :
y = a (e)^kt
If a = 100, y = 50, and k = -0.035, find t.
50 = 100(e)^(-0.035t)
50/100 = e^(-0.035t)
0.5 = e^-0.035t
Take the In
In(0.5) = - 0.035t
-0.693147 = - 0.035t
-0.693147 / - 0.035 = t
19.8042 = t
Hence, t = 19.80

B) A = -0.5x^2 + 7x
C) A = -x^2 + 10x
D) A = x^2 - 10x
Answers
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the base of the triangle be b and the height be h.
The sum of the base and height is 14. Thus:
[tex]b+h=14[/tex]
Recall that the area of a triangle is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]
From the first equation, solve for either variable:
[tex]h=14-b[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}b(14-b)[/tex]
Distribute:
[tex]\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}(14b-b^2)[/tex]
Distribute:
[tex]\displaystyle A=-0.5b^2+7b[/tex]
Let b = x. Hence:
[tex]A=-0.5x^2+7x[/tex]
Therefore, our answer is B.

The perimeter of a square and rectangle is the same. The width of the rectangle is 6cm and it's area is 16cmsquare less than the area of the square. Find the area of the square
Answers
Answer:
Area of square = 100 square cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides of a square be = a
Perimeter of a square = 4a
Let area of square = [tex]a^2[/tex]
Let the Length of rectangle be = [tex]l[/tex]
Given: width of the rectangle = 6 cm
Area of rectangle = length x breadth
Perimeter of rectangle and square is equal.
That is,
[tex]2(length + width) = 4a\\\\2(l + 6) = 4a\\\\l + 6 = 2a\\\\l = 2a - 6[/tex]
Therefore ,
Area of rectangle
[tex]= Length \times width \\\\= (2a - 6) \times 6\\\\=6(2a - 6)[/tex]
Given area of rectangle is 16 less than area of square.
That is ,
[tex]( 6(2a- 6) ) = a^2 - 16\\\\12a - 36 = a^2 - 16\\\\a^2 - 12a +20= 0\\\\a^2 - 2a -10a + 20 = 0\\\\a(a - 2) - 10(a - 2) = 0\\\\(a -10) ( a-2) = 0\\\\a = 10 , \ a = 2[/tex]
Check which value of 'a ' satisfies the equation:
[tex]\underline {when \ a = 2 }\\\\Length\ of \ rectangle \ l = 2a - 6 = 2 ( 2 ) - 6 = 4 - 6 = - 2. \\\\Length \ cannot \ be \ negative \ number. \\\\ \underline{ when \ a = 10 }\\\\Length \ of \ rectangle \ , l = 2a - 6 = 2 (10) - 6 = 20 - 6 = 14\\\\satisfies \ the \ conditions. \\\\Therefore , a = 10[/tex]
That is , side of the sqaure = 10
Therefore , area of the square = 10 x 10 = 100 square cm.

For given question,
We have been given a circle with a 8-cm radius associated with a central angle of 240 degrees.
[tex]r=8~cm,~\theta=240^{\circ}[/tex]
First we convert angle in radians.
[tex]\theta=240^{\circ}\\\\\theta=240^{\circ} \times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}\\\\ \theta=\frac{4\pi}{3}[/tex]

It is known that, nationally, 5% of patients account for 50% of the costs of healthcare. These are the “high cost” patients Assume* that: Being a high cost patient and being uninsured are independent characteristics Insured and uninsured people become “patients” at the same rate The uninsured and high cost patients in Texas are evenly distributed across the state, and that high cost patients are evenly distributed across insured and uninsured patient populations a. What is the probability that a patient in a Texas healthcare facility will be a high cost patient who is uninsured?
Answers
Answer: 0.108
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the probability of the uninsured is 21.6% of the population, then the probability of insured will be:
= 1 - 21.6%
= 78.4%
The probability of high cost patients is 5%. Therefore, the probability that a patient in a Texas healthcare facility will be a high cost patient who is uninsured will be:
= 5% × 21.6%
= 0.05 × 0.216
= 0.108

Answers
Answer:
2.-P = 0.38
3.-P [ Lb | Wt ] = 0.788
Step-by-step explanation:
1.-Probability of choosing any box is, 1/3. So the probability of choosing the lucky box is 1/3
Let´s say the lucky box is the number 2 box ( that consideration does not in any way change the problem generality)
Then we have
p₁ probability of choosing box 1 is 1/3 p₁´ Probability of win ticket is 0.12
p₂ probability of choosing box 2 is 1/3 p₂´Probability of win ticket is 0.90
p₃ probability of choosing box 3 is 1/3 p₃´ Probability of win ticket is 0.12
Then
P (of choosing a winning ticket is) = p₁*p₁´ + p₂*p₂´ + p₃*p₃´
P = 1/3*0.12 + 1/3*0.9 + 1/3*0.12
P = 0.04 + 0.3 + 0.04
P = 0.38
3.- if I draw a winning ticket what is the probability it came from Lucky box
According to Bayes theorem
P [ Lb | Wt ] = P(Lb) * P[ Wt|Lb]/ P(Wt)
P(Lb) = 1/3 = 0.33333
P[Wt|Lb] = 0.9
P(Wt) = 0.38
Then By substitution
P [ Lb | Wt ] = 0.333 * 0.9 / 0.38
P [ Lb | Wt ] = 0.788

Hannah ran 12 laps for 8 days. How many laps did she run in total if she take a break of 1 complete day and 1 half day.
Answers
Answer:
The correct answer would be - 9.75 laps (if runs 12 laps in 8 days) or 78 laps (if 12 laps each day for 8 days)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
a) Laps covered in 8 days = 12
interval = 1 and half day
total laps = ?
Solution:
To know the total laps with intervals we need to calculate the laps run each day :
= 12/8 laps per day
= 3/2 laps per day
Now multiply the daily run with days
= (3/2)*6.5 (due to 8 - 1.5 = 6,5 days)
= 9.75 laps
B) Given:
Laps covered in 8 days = 12*8 =96
interval = 1 and half day
total laps = ?
Solution:
To know the total laps with intervals we need to calculate the laps run each day :
= 96/8 laps per day
= 12laps per day
Now multiply the daily run with days
= 12*6.5 (due to 8 - 1.5 = 6,5 days)
= 78 laps
