Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever there are problems that have ladders leaning on a buildings, you have to know that is makes a right triangle.

3^2 + (x-1)^2 = x^2

(x-1)(x-1) = x^2 - 2x + 1


9 + x^2 -2x +1 = x^2

-x^2                    -x^2

---------------------------------        

-2x +10 = 0

-10           -10

---------------------

-2x=-10

-2x/2   -10/2

x=5 (the length of the ladder)

A coin is flipped 150 times. The results of the experiment are shown in the following table:
MakcuM [25]
First problem:

The answer is C because theoretically it should have a 50% of landing heads but instead it lands heads 56% of the time. Thus this is 6% higher than 50%. It's not D because there is not specified detail of how the person got this data so you can assume that the person did a fair survey/data collection.

Second problem:

So in a data size of 490, 140 of them we trout. This means that 140/490 or 28.57% of the fish are trout. This means that in a sample size of 5000 fish, 5000*0.2857 or 1428.57 are trout.

Third problem:

The Science students seem to have a higher average score because the average score of Math students are:
(32+33+34+34+35+37+39+40+40)/9=36
average score of Science students are:
(41+42+43+43+46+46+47+49+49)/9=45.111
