Answer:

~15.55 is the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The class of frequency is given as 0-9, 10-19 and 20-29.

First of all, let us taken middle value of class:

$\dfrac{0+9}{2} = 4.5$

$\dfrac{10+9}{2} = 14.5$

$\dfrac{20+9}{2} = 24.5$

Formula for mean:

$\text{Mean = } \dfrac{\sum (m \times f)}{\sum f}$

where f is the frequency

and m is the mean value calculated in above step (4.5, 14.5 and 24.5)

The frequencies are given as:

4.5 - 24

14.5 - 20

24.5 - 32

Putting the values in above formula:

$Mean = \dfrac{4.5\times 24+14.5\times 20 +24.5\times 32}{24+20+32}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{108+290+784}{76}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1182}{76} \\\Rightarrow 15.55$

Please refer to the attached image that contains the table for calculation of mean.

So, mean = ~15.55

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is classic right triangle trig. The height of the hill is 78.4 which serves as the side opposite the reference angle of 23 degrees. The side we are looking for is the hypotenuse of that triangle. The trig ratio that relates the side opposite a reference angle to the hypotenuse of the right triangle is the sin ratio. Setting it up using our values:

$sin(23)=\frac{78.4}{x}$ , where x is the unknown length of the hypotenuse. Solving for x:
