Answer:

1668 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the opposite side of the right triangle and we need the adjacent side, so we use the tangent function.

If the distance required is x  (adj side) we have:

tan 41 = opp/adj

tan 41 = 1450/x

x = 1450 / tan 41

= 1668.03

4. In a sample of 1000 people, 130 can wiggle their ears. Two unrelated people are
Elina [12.6K]

Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.7568 = 75.68% probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears.

The people are chosen from the sample without replacement, which is why the <u>hypergeometric distribution</u> is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • 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.

In this problem:

  • 1000 people means that N = 1000
  • 130 can wiggle their ears, thus k = 130
  • Two are selected, thus n = 2.

The probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears is P(X = 0), thus:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = x) = h(0,1000,2,130) = \frac{C_{130,0}C_{870,2}}{C_{1000,2}} = 0.7568

0.7568 = 75.68% probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

3:the value of the 4 in 0.04 is the value of the 4 in 0.4 divided by 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because in decimal places, we have what is called place value. In a decimal number after the decimal point, each number place is divided by an increasing power of 10. So, for example, if we have a decimal number 0.82, the place value of the 8 is 8/10 while that of the 2 is 2/10² = 2/100.

So, in the given numbers, 0.04 has a place value of 4/100 and 0.4 has a place value of 4/10. So, we can see that 4/100 = 4/10 ÷ 10 = 4/10 × 1/10.

So, the value of the 4 in 0.04 is the value of the 4 in 0.4 divided by 10.
