Answer:

A. Plane B because it was 9.33 miles away

B. 48 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Since the airplanes fly at an angle to the runway, their direction forms a triangle with the runway with their height above the ground as the opposite of the angle and their distance from the airport as the hypotenuse.

So for airplane A with 44° angle of departure,

sin44° = y/h where y = height above the ground and h = distance from airport

So h = y/sin44° = 6/sin44° = 8.64 miles

So for airplane B with 40° angle of departure,

sin40° = y/H where y = height above the ground and H = distance from airport

So H = y/sin40° = 6/sin40° = 9.33 miles

Since airplane B is at 9.33 miles away from the airport whereas airplane A is 8.64 miles from the airport, airplane B is farther away.

B. We know that scale factor = new size/original size

Our scale factor = 4 and original size = 12 units. So,

new size = scale factor original size = 4 × 12 = 48 units.

74 degrees, because angle 1 and 8 add up to 73 degrees, so to make 180 you subtract 180-73 degrees, which makes 112 degrees for angle 9. Angle 9 and 12 are supplementary so they should both add up to 180. That means that angle 12 must be 68. Angles 12, 7, and 6 must add up to 180, so 38+68=106. 180-106=74. Therefore, angle 6 is 74 degrees

Scores on a college entrance exam are normally distributed with a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 100. Find the value th

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value that represents the 90th percentile of scores is 678.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 550, \sigma = 100$

Find the value that represents the 90th percentile of scores.

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So X when Z = 1.28.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.28 = \frac{X - 550}{100}$

$X - 550 = 100*1.28$

$X = 678$

The value that represents the 90th percentile of scores is 678.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let θ be the angle of depression i.e the angle between the horizontal and the observer's line of sight.

tanθ= (Height of the light house)/(Horizontal distance of ship from the base of light house)

∴tanθ=88/1532=0.0574

∴θ=tan−1(0.0574)=3.290(2dp)

Zepler [3.9K]

The domain of the function is \[A \ge0\] If A is negative we get an imaginary number for the radius. This makes sense because the area of a circle cannot be negative.
