Answer:

direct distance = 65,644.07 feet

horizontal distance = 65,154.77 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression is the angle that the airplane does with the horizontal plane.

So, if this angle is 7° and the airplane is at an altitude if 8000 feet, we can find the direct distance and the horizontal distance using the tangent and the sine relations of the angle.

In the tangent of the angle, the opposite side will be the height of the airplane, and the adjacent side will be the horizontal distance (hd), so:

tangent(7) = 8000 / hd

hd = 8000 / tangent(7) = 65,154.77 feet

In the sine of the angle, the opposite side will be the height of the airplane, and the hypotenusa will be the direct distance (d), so:

sine(7) = 8000 / d

d = 8000 / sine(7) = 65,644.07 feet

What is the slope of the line represented by the data table?
djyliett [7]
A) Slope:    (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

You can use point  (-1, -6) and (0, -8)

Slope =    (-8 - -6) /(0 - -1) =   (-8+6)/(0+1) = -2/1  = -2.

Slope = -2.

b) Point (0, -8)  is the point such that  x = 0,  and y = -8, this point represents the vertical intercept  of the equation.  The point where the line cuts the y axis.

the graph shows the height of a pendant for a certain amount of time and days happy Monday everybody there may be a proportional
Alex Ar [27]

According to the given graph, the variables does not show a proportional relationship because they points do not form an straight line. Remember that the proportional relationship is represents by a straight line whcih passes through the origin.

<h2>Therefore, the hours and the height of snow do not show a proportional relationship.</h2>

Two sides of a triangle
True [87]

step 1: open brackets n rmb to flip the signs

step 2 (optional): rearrange to make the equation clearer to add/minus

length of 3rd side:

(8x + 3) - (2x + 1) -(5x + 2)

= 8x + 3 - 2x -1 - 5x -2

= 8x -2x -5x +3 -1 -2

= x

Therefore, length of 3rd side is X cm.

---

If perimeter = 75cm,

8x +3 = 75

8x = 75-3

8x = 72

x = 9 cm

Therefore,

1st side = 2(9) +1

= 19 cm

2nd side = 5(9) +2

= 47 cm

3rd side = 9 cm

A group of retired admirals, generals, and other senior military leaders, recently published a report, "Too Fat to Fight". The r
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.694 -0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{180}}}=-1.735  

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military is significantly less than 0.75 or 75% .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=180 represent the random sample taken  

X=125 represent the number of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military

\hat p=\frac{125}{180}=0.694 estimated proportion of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military

p_o=0.75 is the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level  

Confidence=95% or 0.95  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that less than 75% of Americans between the ages of 17 to 24 do not qualify for the military :  

Null hypothesis: p\geq 0.75  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.75  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.  

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.694 -0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{180}}}=-1.735  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military is significantly less than 0.75 or 75% .
