One example is if you wanted to measure the height of a tall building. You'll need to measure the distance from where you're standing to the base of the building. You'll also need the angle of elevation. To get the angle of elevation, start by looking completely horizontal, then tilt upward until your eyeline reaches the top of the building. Once you have those two things (the side and angle) you can use the tangent ratio to find the height. This is because

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

where in this case
angle = angle of elevation
opposite = height of building
adjacent = distance from your position to the base of the building

It takes a bit of algebra, but the opposite side can be solved for. You'll most likely need a calculator to compute the tangent ratio.

Compound interest
P(1+rate/100)^years
However, this questions would be easier using simple interest with calculations here.
First year — $35000x102% = $35700
Second year — $35700x102% = $36414
Third year — $36414x102% = $37142.28
Note : don’t include the dollar sign.

suter [353]

Answer:

a. [6.6350,7.3950]

b. ME=0.5150

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given that n=40, \bar x=6.88 and that:z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05}=1.645

The required 90% confidence interval can be calculated as:

\bar x\pm(margin \ of \ error)\\\\\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\6.88\pm(1.645\times \frac{1.98}{\sqrt{40}})\\\\=[6.3650,7.3950]

Hence, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean cash value of this crop is [6.6350,7.3950]

b. The margin of error at 90% confidence interval is calculated as:

ME= z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=(1.645\times \frac{1.98}{\sqrt{40}})\\\\=0.5150

Hence, the margin of error is 0.5150
