Answer:
d) 33.1 miles per gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = sum/ number
Mean= (48+25+35+34+33+37+32+34+23+30)/10 = 33.1
Interesting problem ...
The key is to realize that the wires have some distance to the ground, that does not change.
The pole does change. But the vertical height of the pole plus the distance from the pole to the wires is the distance ground to the wires all the time. In other words, for any angle one has:
D = L * sin(alpha) + d, where D is the distance wires-ground, L is the length of the pole, alpha is the angle, and 'd' is the distance from the top of the (inclined) pole to the wires:
L*sin(40) + 8 = L*sin(60) + 2, so one can get the length of the pole:
L = (8-2)/(sin(60) - sin(40)) = 6/0.2232 = 26.88 ft (be careful to have the calculator in degrees not rad)
So the pole is 26.88 ft long!
If the wires are higher than 26.88 ft, no problem. if they are below, the concerns are justified and it won't pass!
Your statement does not mention the distance between the wires and the ground. Do you have it?
Answer:
554 executives should be surveyed.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our 
level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 
.
That is z with a pvalue of 
, so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
In which 
is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
Standard deviation of 3 hours.
This means that 
The 95% level of confidence is to be used. How many executives should be surveyed?
n executives should be surveyed, and n is found with 
. So
Rounding up:
554 executives should be surveyed.
Step 1: Put the numbers in numerical order from smallest to largest. Step 2: If there is an odd number of numbers, locate the middle number so that there is an equal number of values to the left and to the right.
