The length of the shadow is 14.2 m

Right angle triangle:

Right angle triangle has one of its sides as 90 degrees.

The height of the building is the opposite side of the triangle.

The distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow is 35 m is the hypotenuse side.

The length of the shadow is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Therefore,

c² = a² + b²

b² = 35² - 32²

b² = 1225 - 1024

b² = 201

b = √201

b = 14.17

b = 14.2 m

Hence the length of the shadow is 14.2 m.

URGENT: statistics: A researcher wishes to estimate the percentage of adults who support abolishing the penny what size sample s
irina1246 [14]

Using the margin of error for the z-distribution, the sample sizes are given as follows:

a) 822.

b) 1068.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The margin of error is given by:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which:

  • \pi is the sample proportion.
  • z is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.

We have a 95% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.95, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975, so the critical value is z = 1.96.

Item a:

The estimate is of \pi = 0.26, hence we solve for n when M = 0.03.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.26(0.74)}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.26(0.74)}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.26(0.74)}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.26(0.74)}}{0.03}\right)^2

n = 821.2

A sample of 822 is needed.

Item b:

No prior estimate, hence \pi = 0.5.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}\right)^2

n = 1067.11

A sample of 1068 is needed.

Solve for x someone please help me out
____ [38]

Answer:

Since there are no terms that can be combined I assume that you would simply subtract y from either side so X +Y = R would turn into X = Y - R. Then you would have done all that you can to solve for X

A cube has a side length of 16 in. Use the formula S = 6s squared to find the area/surface.
dlinn [17]
I'm assuming side length is the variable S, so you do 16 squared (256) times 6 (1,536) As your final answer. This may be wrong, as I may be interpreting wrong.
