Answer:

The tree is 6.36 meters tall.

Explanation: Let AB is tree of height h t = ? and CD is Tonya h g = 1.3 meter tall at A C = 7 meters in front of tree . The shadow C E = 1.8 meters long . So two similar triangles are formed , one Δ A E B and other Δ C E D . So A B C D = A E C E or h t h g = A E A C or h t h g = A C + C E AC or h t 1.3 = 7 + 1.8 1.8 or h t = 8.8 ⋅ 1.3 1.8 ≈ 6.36 ( 2 d p )m

The tree is 6.36 meter tall.

1/2 divided by 4 would become 1/2 times 1/4 (Since you change the division sign into multiplication and you'd flip the 4 into 1/4), so the final answer would be 1/8

Answer:

$10.08-1.64\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{6}}=10.013$

$10.08+1.64\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{6}}=10.147$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (10.013;10.147)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma =0.1$ represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=10.08$

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$10.08-1.64\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{6}}=10.013$

$10.08+1.64\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{6}}=10.147$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (10.013;10.147)

Given the dimensions of 72 yards by 1.5 yards, we can find that the total area of material the manufacturer has is 72 x 1.5 = 108 sq. yards. Dividing this by the 2.7 sq. yards required per shirt, they can make 108/2.7 = 40 shirts.
