The FBI wants to determine the effectiveness of their 10 Most Wanted list. To do so, they need to find out the fraction of peopl

e who appear on the list that are actually caught. Step 1 of 2: Suppose a sample of 403 suspected criminals is drawn. Of these people, 149 were captured. Using the data, estimate the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 10 Most Wanted list. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.

Answer:

The estimate for the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 10 Most Wanted list is 0.37.

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimate for the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 10 Most Wanted list is the number of people caught divided by the sample size.

In this question:

149 captured in a sample of 403.

149/403 = 0.37

The estimate for the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 10 Most Wanted list is 0.37.

NOT is coded as LKF and FLY is coded as TNA, then which of the following word/s has/have correct coding? (1) TOP – FKJ (2) RUN –
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

  • (1) and (3) are correct options

Step-by-step explanation:

  • NOT is coded as LKF
  • FLY is coded as TNA

<u>Using alphabet, we can see that:</u>

NOT = 14, 15, 20  ⇔ 13+1, 13+2, 13+7 ⇒ LKF = 12,11,6 = 13-1, 13-2, 13-7

Coding for each letter is 13 + x ⇒ 13 - x

(1) TOP ⇒ FKJ

  • TOP = 20,15,16 ⇒ 13-7, 13-2, 13-3 =  6,11,10 = FKJ
  • Correct

(2) RUN ⇒ IFM

  • RUN = 18,21,14 ⇒ 13-5,13-8,13-1 = 8,5,12 = HEL ≠ IFM
  • Incorrect

(3) MUG ⇒ MES

  • MUG = 13,21,7 ⇒ 13+0, 13-8, 13+6 = 13,5,19 = MES
  • Correct

(4) HOT ⇒ RKG

  • HOT = 8,15,20  ⇒ 13+5,13-2, 13-7 = 18,11,6 = RKF ≠ RKG
  • Incorrect

If the angle of elevation of the sun is 61.7° when a building casts a shadow of 56.5 feet, what is the height of the building ro
maksim [4K]

SOLUTION

Let us use a simple diagram to interprete the question

In the diagram above, the dark stuff below represents the shadow and the rectangular bar represents the building. I have labelled the height of the building as h.

So we will use the right-angled triangle formed to find h

As we can see h represents the opposite side and 56.5 feet represents the adjacent side of the right-angle triangle. So we will use TOA

\text{TOA tan }\theta=\frac{opposite}{\text{adjacent}}

So we have

\begin{gathered} \text{ tan }\theta=\frac{opposite}{\text{adjacent}} \\ \text{ tan }61.7\degree=\frac{h}{56.5} \\ 1.8572015=\frac{h}{56.5} \\ \text{cross multiplying, we have } \\ h=1.8572015\times56.5 \\ h=104.931887 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is 104.9 feet to the nearest tenth

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by y = 4x?​
Brut [27]

Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation: In order to identify the <em>y-intercept</em> of this equation, we want to get this equation into slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as y = mx + b form.

The problem is our equation doesn't match up quite so well with the formula y = mx + b. Our slope or <em>m</em> which is represented by the coefficient of the <em>x</em> <em>term</em> is clearly +4 but what is our y-intercept or b?

Well y = 4x can be thought of as y = 4x + 0 so you can see that our b or y-intercept equals 0.
