By similar triangles we can say...

h/14=5/3.5  multiply both sides by 14

h=70/3.5

h=20 ft

Answer:

The height of the birdhouse is 20ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of bird house shadow = 14 feet

Length of your friend shadow = 3.5 feet

Height of your friend = 5 feet

Height of the birdhouse = ?

To find the height of the birdhouse we will compare the quality of the two parameters.

Height of your friend / Length of your friend shadow = Height of the birdhouse / Height of the birdhouse

Therefore we have:

5ft/3.5ft = x/14ft

Cross multiple

3.5x = 70

x = 70/3.5

x = 20ft.

Therefore, the height of the birdhouse is 20ft

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

21.759

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean (m) = 25

Standard deviation (s) = 12.5

Sample size (n) = 40

α = 90%

The confidence interval is obtained using the relation:

Mean ± Zcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Zcritical at 90% confidence interval = 1.64

25 ± 1.64 * (12.5/sqrt(40))

Lower boundary : 25 - 1.64(1.9764235) = 21.75866546

Upper boundary : 25 + 1.64(1.9764235) = 28.24133454

(21.759, 28.241)

Hence, lower bound of confidence interval is : 21.759

A study of class attendance and grades among first-year students at a state university showed that, in general, students who mis
ratelena [41]

Answer:

the numerical value of the correlation between percent of classes attended and grade index is r = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

the coefficient of determination is r²

while the correlation coefficient is defined as r = √(r²)

The coefficient of determination tells us the percentage of the variation in y by the corresponding variation in x.

Now, given that class attendance explained 16% of the variation in grade index among the students.

so

coefficient of determination is r² = 16%

The correlation coefficient between percent of classes attended and grade index will be;

r = √(r²)

r = √( 16% )

r = √( 0.16 )

r = 0.4  

Therefore,  the numerical value of the correlation between percent of classes attended and grade index is r = 0.4
