A person standing on top of a 11 11-foot high sand pile wishes to estimate the width of the pile. he visually locates two rocks

on the ground below at the base of the sand pile. the rocks are on opposite sides of the sand pile, and he and the two rocks are in the same vertical plane. if the angles of depression from the top of the sand pile to each of the rocks are 28 ∘ 28∘ and 19 ∘ 19∘, how far apart are the rocks rounded to the nearest foot?

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The distance between the two rocks is (a + b).
By definition,
tan(28°) = 11/a
a = 11/tan(28°) = 20.688 ft
Similarly,
b = 11/tan(19°) = 31.9463 ft

The distance between the rocks is
20.688 + 31.9463 = 52.6343 ft

Answer: 53 ft (nearest foot)

The owners of an eyeglass store claim that they fill customers' orders, on average, in 60 minutes with a standard deviation of 1
melomori [17]

By applying z-score formula we got that if a reporter determines a mean order time of 63 minutes then value o Z is 1.19

<h3>What is standard deviation?</h3>

Standard deviation is a number used to tell how measurements for a group are spread out from the average (mean), or expected value

Here given that

The owners of an eyeglass store claim that they fill customers' orders, on average, in 60 minutes with a standard deviation of 15. 9 minutes. Based on a random sample of 40 orders, a reporter determines a mean order time of 63 minutes

mean=μ=60

standard deviation=σ=15.9

number of sample=n=40

\bar{x}=63 \\

Now we can calculate z by z-score formula as

z=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  \\\\&=\frac{63-60}{\frac{15 \cdot 9}{40}} \\ \\=\frac{3}{2.5140} \\ \\=1.19\end{aligned}

By applying z-score formula we got that if a reporter determines a mean order time of 63 minutes then value o Z is 1.19
