The height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.

<h3>How to determine the height</h3>

From the information given, we have:

angle of elevation = 32°
length of the base, adjacent side = 376 meters
height of the skyscraper, opposite side = x meters

To determine the height of the elevator, let's use the tangent identity

We have that;

tan θ = opposite/ adjacent

The value of the opposite side is 'x' which is the height of the skyscraper and the value of the adjacent side is 376 meters which is the length of the base of the skyscraper

Now, substitute the values, we have;

tan 32 = x/ 376

cross multiply

x = tan 32 × 376

x = 0. 6249 × 376

x = 234. 95 meters

We know that the 'x' represents the opposite side and thus the height of the skyscraper

Thus, the height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.

Based on the calculations, the statement which has the strongest association is that females prefer drama movies (0.571).

<h3>How to determine the strongest association?</h3>

In order to determine which statement has the strongest association, we would have to calculate the probability for each statement and then select the statement with the highest value of probability.

For females that prefer drama movies, we have:

P = (No. of females who prefer drama)/(No. of females)

P = 72/126

P = 0.571.

For males that prefer comedy movies, we have:

P = (No. of males who prefer comedy)/(No. of males)

P = 45/125

P = 0.36.

For males that prefer thriller movies, we have:

P = (No. of males who prefer thriller)/(No. of males )

P = 65/125

P = 0.52.

For females that prefer comedy movies, we have:

P = (No. of females who prefer comedy)/(No. of females)

P = 36/126

P = 0.286.

Based on the calculations, we can logically deduce that the statement with the strongest association is that females prefer drama movies (0.571).
