The distance of the ball from the foot of the tower is : 35.18m

The ball would be moved 57.2m away from the foot of the tower for the Angle of elevation to be halved.

<h3>What is angle of elevation?</h3>

Angle of elevation is the angle formed between the horizontal and the  line of view from the vertical.

Analysis:

The height of the tower and the distance of the ball from the foot of the tower form a right angle triangle.

so we use trigonometry.

a) let distance of the ball from foot of tower be x.

  so that, tan 52 = 45/x

  x = 45/tan52

  x = 45/1.279 = 35.18m

b) let the distance of the ball in the new position from the foot of the tower be y.

if the angle of elevation is halved, then new angle is 52/2 = 26°

 tan 26 = 45/y

y = 45/tan26 = 45/0.487 = 92.4m

distance moved from old position to new position = 92.4 - 35.18 = 57.2m

In conclusion, the distance of the ball from the foot of the tower and the distance the ball should move to make its elevation 26° are 35.18m and 57.2m respectively.

Tickets for admission to a high school football game cost $3 for students and $5 for adults. During 1 game, $2995 was collected
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Number of student tickets = 325

Number of adult tickets = 404

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of student tickets

y be the number of adult tickets

According to given statement;

x+y=729     Eqn 1

3x+5y=2995    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

3(x+y=729)

3x+3y=2187    Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(3x+5y)-(3x+3y)=2995-2187

3x+5y-3x-3y=808

2y=808

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{808}{2}\\y=404

Putting y=404 in Eqn 1

x+404=729

x=729-404

x=325

Hence,

Number of student tickets = 325

Number of adult tickets = 404

The time T required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with mean 10 hours.
Firdavs [7]

It can be expected about 36.79% of chance that repair time exceeds

The probability that a repair time exceeds  15 hours is 0.3679

What is the exponential distribution?

It explains about the time between events or the distance between two random events is termed the exponential distribution. Here, the occurrence of the events is continuous and also independent. Moreover, the average rate is constant.

The cumulative distribution function of T is obtained below:

From the information given, let the random variable T be the required time to repair a machine follows exponential distribution with parameter λ
with mean. 1/2 hours

That is,  E(x) =  1/2 hours.
The parameter of the random variable T is,
E(x) =  1/λ
λ = 1/E(x)
= 1/(1/2)
= 2

The probability density function of T is,
f(t) = \left \{ {{2e^{-2t} \ \ \ t > 0}  \  \atop {0} \ \ \ elsewhere} \ \right.
The cumulative density function of T is,
FT(t) = P(T <= t)

= 1 - e^{- \lambda t}

= 1 - e^{- 2t}
The CDF of T is,
P(T <= t)  = 1 - e^{- 2t}    0 <= T <= ∞
        = 0          otherwise
to obtain the probability that a repair time exceeds

1/2 hours.
(a) The probability that a repair time exceeds 1/2 hours.
From the given information, the CDF of T is,
P(T <= t)  = 1 - e^{- 2t}    0 <= T <= ∞
        = 0          otherwise

The required probability is,
P(T <= 1/2)  = 1 - P(T <= 1/2)
        = 1 - [  = 1 - e^{- 2(1/2)} ]
       = e^{-1}
= 0.3679

om total probability. It can be expected about 36.79% of chance that repair time exceeds

P(X => x)  = 1 - P(X < x)
to obtain the probability that a repair takes at least 12.5 hours given that its duration exceeds 12 hours.

(b), The probability that a repair takes at least 12.5 hours given that its duration exceeds 12 hours is obtained below:
From the given information, the CDF of T is,
P(T <= t)  = 1 - e^{- 2t}    0 <= T <= ∞
        = 0          otherwise
The required probability is,
P = P(T => 12.5∩T>12) / P(T>12)
= e^{- 25 + 24}

= e^{- 1}
= 0.3679
The probability that a repair takes at least 12.5 hours given that its duration exceeds 12 hours is obtained by dividing the
P = P(T => 12.5∩T>12) / P(T>12)
with
P(T>12).

It can be expected about 36.79% of chance that a repair takes at least 12.5 hours given that its duration exceeds 12 hours.

Hence, It can be expected about 36.79% of chance that repair time exceeds,

The probability that a repair time exceeds  15 hours is 0.3679

The ratio of boys to girls in a choir is 3 to 6. There are 30 girls in the choir.
agasfer [191]

Answer:

45 members are in the choir.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable x = boys

3/6 = x/30

Cross multiply:

3 × 30 = 6 × x

90 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6:

15 = x

There are 15 boys.

To find the number of members in the choir, add the number of boys and girls:

30 + 15 = 45

May I know why is the answer 1/2? Any idea <br><br> Thank you!
ElenaW [278]

let's put value of t in equation.

x = 2√t

x = 2√y

x/2 = √y

(x/2)^2 = y

y = x^2 /4

now let's differentiate it with respect to x.

dy/dx = 2x/4 = x/2

differentiating again wrt to x

d^2y/dx^2 = 1/2
