Answer:

about 16°

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

Drawing the right triangle, we see that the shorter leg is 34 meters, and the longer leg is 122 meters. So the angle of elevation is:

\tan( \alpha )  =  \frac{34}{122}

\alpha  =  { \tan }^{ - 1}  \frac{34}{122}  = 15.57

A circular plot with a 160 foot diameter is watered by a spray irrigation system. To the nearest square foot, what is the area t
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

A circular plot is watered by a sprinkler that rotates through it. The sprinkler only rotates through a semi-circle, or half of the whole circle.

Area of a circle: A = pi x r^2

r = 160 / 2 = 80

A = pi x 80^2

A = 6400pi / 2 = 3200pi

3200pi = 10053.0965

The area water is approximately 10,053 ft^2.

Hope this helps!! :)

A United Nations report shows the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year. A FLOC (Farm
disa [49]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year and the provided information is consistent with the United Nations report.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a United Nations report shows the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year.

A FLOC  evaluation of 25 Mexican family units reveals a mean to be $30,000 with a sample standard deviation of $10,000.

Let \mu = <em><u>true mean family income for Mexican migrants.</u></em>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = $27,000     {means that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu \neq $27,000     {means that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is different from $27,000 per year}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                          T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean family income = $30,000

            s = sample standard deviation = $10,000

            n = sample of Mexican family = 25

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{30,000-27,000}{\frac{10,000}{\sqrt{25} } }  ~ t_2_4

                                     =  1.50

The value of t test statistics is 1.50.

Since, in the question we are not given the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. <u>Now, at 5% significance level the t table gives critical values of -2.064 and 2.064 at 24 degree of freedom for two-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $27,000 per year and the provided information is consistent with the United Nations report.

A country's population in 1994 was 182 million. In 2002 it was 186 million. Estimate the population in 2004 using the exponentia
iogann1982 [59]
\bf =ae^{kt}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;1994\impliedby \textit{year 0, starting point}\\&#10;t=0\qquad P=182&#10;\end{cases}\implies 182=ae^{k0}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;182=a\cdot e^0\implies 182=a\cdot 1\implies 182=a&#10;\\\\\\&#10;thus\qquad P=182e^{kt}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf P=182e^{kt}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;2002\impliedby \textit{8 years later}\\&#10;t=8\qquad P=186&#10;\end{cases}\implies 186=182e^{k8}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{186}{182}=e^{8k}\implies ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)=ln(e^{8k})\implies ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)=8k&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)}{8}=k\implies 0.0027\approx k\implies \boxed{P=182e^{0.0027t}}

what's the population in 2004?  well,  from 1994 to 2004 is 10 years later, so t = 10

plug that in, to get P for 2004
