Answer:

22 3/4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.

<h3>Proportion</h3>

Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...

h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet

Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...

h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4

h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft

The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.

Answer:

$s^2=1.32$

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a binomial probability distribution problem.

-Given that p=0.86 and n=11, the sample variance can be calculated using the formula:

$\sigma^2=np(1-p)$

#We substitute the given parameters in the formula to solve for variance:

$\sigma^2=np(1-p)\\\\\\=11\times 0.86(1-0.86)\\\\=1.324\approx1.32$

Hence, the sample variance is 1.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to convert cups to fluid ounces

1 cup = 8 fluid ounces

8 fluid ounces = 8 x 2 = 16 fluid ounces

the quantity of water = 16 x 5 = 80 fluid ounces

Total fluid ounces = 80 + 16 = 96 fluid ounces
