Answer:

270 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For clarity, the image below represents the problem. Let's call h the height of the tower. Notice that it forms 2 triangles that are similar to side-angle-side. So, we can calculate the higher of the tower by similar triangles:

higher1/base1 = higher2/base2

h/135 = 6/3

h/135 = 2

h = 270 ft

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

a) Statement is true

b) Statement incorrect. Company goal is to attend customer at 190 second at the most. So test should be one tail test  (right)

c) We have to reject H₀, and differences between sample mean and the hypothesized population mean should not be attributed only to sampling error

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  as the significance level is = 0,02  that means  α = 0,02 (the chance of error type I )  and the β (chance of type error II   is

1  -  0.02  =  0,98

b) The company establishe in 190 seconds time for customer at its ticket counter (if this time is smaller is excellent ) company is concerned about bigger time because that could be an issue for customers. Therefore the test should be a one test-tail to the right

c) test statistic

Hypothesis test should be:

null hypothesis                H₀   =  190

alternative hypothesis    H₀   >  190

t(s)  =  ( μ  -  μ₀ ) / s/√n      ⇒   t(s)  = ( 202 - 190 )/(28/√100 )

t(s)  = 12*10/28

t(s)  = 4.286

That value is far away of any of the values found for 99 degree of fredom and between  α  ( 0,025 and 0,01 ). We have to reject H₀, and differences between sample mean and the hypothesized population mean should not be attributed only to sampling error

If we look table  t-student we will find that for 99 degree of freedom and α = 0.02.
