To estimate the height of a totem pole, Jorge uses a small square of plastic. He holds the square up to his eyes and walks backw

ard from the pole. He stops when the bottom of the pole lines up with the bottom edge of the square and the top of the pole lines up with the top edge of the square. Jorge's eye level is about 2 m from the ground. He is about 3 m from the pole. Which of the following is the best estimate of the height of the totem pole?

The height of the pole is 6.50 meters

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

To calculate the height of the pole, we will use of the following equivalent ratios.

By Pythagoras theorem, we have:

x ^2 = 2^2 + 3^2\\\\x ^2 = 4 + 9\\\\x = \sqrt{13}

So, we have:

h = \dfrac{\sqrt{13}^2 }{2} \\\\h = \dfrac{13}{2}\\\\h = 6.5

Hence, the height of the pole is 6.50 meters

<span>You need to set up 2 equations for this, a system to be exact let x represent the cheaper phone and y represent the upgraded phone for store costs you will have 5x+25y=200 for selling prices you will have 30x+100y=900 set these two equations together 5x+25y=200 30x+100y=900 multiply the first one by -4 and add them -20x-100y=-800 30x+100y=900 10x=100 x=10 10 cheaper phones, plug into any equation again 5(10)+25(y)=200 y=6<<<6 upgraded phones</span>

Arada [10]

Answer:

A. No, the student is not right. The central limit theorem says nothing about the histogram of the sample values. It deals only with the distribution of the sample means.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the student is not right. The central limit theorem says nothing about the histogram of the sample values. It deals only with the distribution of the sample means. The central limit theorem says that if we take a large sample (i.e., a sample of size n > 30) of any distribution with finite mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, then, the sample average is approximately normally distributed  with mean \mu and variance \sigma^2/n.
