First we would need to make a diagram, and from the given it would seem like it is a right triangle with the height as 760 ft. We have an angle given 89°18' which would need to be converted to degrees form, which is 89.3°.

Now we would need to look for the ground distance, meaning the adjacent of the triangle. Since we have been given the angle and the height (which is the opposite side from the angle) we use the trigonometric function cotangent.

760 Cot [(89.3)∘]= 9.29 ft, that is the answer.

Answer:

The headquarters is 9 ft away from a point on the ground directly below the balloon .

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of balloon is 760 ft and the angle of depression is 89°18' = $89 \frac{18}{60} =89.3$ °.

A right angled triangle is formed ( as shown in figure ) .Let x represent the distance of headquarters from a point on the ground directly below the balloon .

$Tan 89.3=\frac{760}{x}$

81.85 x= 760 .[ Tan 89.3= 81.85]

Dividing both sides by 81.85:

x= 9.3

Or x=9 ft ( rounded to nearest foot)

The headquarters is 9 ft away from a point on the ground directly below the balloon .

Answer: E) 450g and F) 100g

Step-by-step explanation:

A pound is approximately 0.4535 kilogrammes, so 453,5 grammes. With this information, we can determine that answers E (450 grammes) and F ( 100 grammes) are the only correct ones.

Babies born after 40 weeks gestation have a mean length of 52.2 centimeters (about 20.6 inches). Babies born one month early hav

Answer:

a) $Z = -2.88$

b) $Z = -0.96$

c) 40 weeks gestation babies

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

a. Find the standardized score (z-score), relative to all U.S. births, for a baby with a birth length of 45 cm.

Here, we use $\mu = 52.2, \sigma = 2.5$ . So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{45 - 52.2}{2.5}$

$Z = -2.88$

b. Find the standardized score of a birth length of 45 cm. for babies born one month early, using 47.4 as the mean.

Here, we use $\mu = 47.4, \sigma = 2.5$ . So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{45 - 47.4}{2.5}$

$Z = -0.96$

c. For which group is a birth length of 45 cm more common?

For each group, the probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z.

Z = -2.88 has a lower pvalue than Z = -0.96, so for Z = -2.88 the probability 1 - pvalue of Z will be greater. This means that for 40 weeks gestation babies a birth length of 45 cm is more common.
