Answer:the height of the flagpole is 27.12 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The wire makes an angle with the ground and forms a right angle triangle with the flag pole. The length of the wire represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height of the flag pole and the ground distance from the wire represents the adjacent and opposite sides respectively.
To determine the height of the flagpole, x we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
31² = x² + 15²
x² = 961 - 225 = 736
x = √736. = 27.12 ft
Answer:
A certain company makes 12-volt car batteries. After many years of product testing, the company knows that the average life of a battery is normally distributed, with a mean of 50 months and a standard deviation of 9 months. If the company does not want to make refunds for more than 10% of its batteries under the full-refund guarantee policy, for how long should the company guarantee the batteries?
The company should guarantee the batteries for 38 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using standard normal table,
P(Z < z) = 10%
=(Z < z) = 0.10
= P(Z <- 1.28 ) = 0.10
z = -1.28
Using z-score formula
x = zσ + μ
x = -1.28 *9+50
x = 38
Therefore, the company should guarantee the batteries for 38 months.
The equation of the line y = 5x + 1. Line that is parallel to the function given should have the same slope as the equation which is 5. We use the point-slope form in order to find the second equation that contains the point (4,5).
y - 5 = 5(x-4)
y = 5x - 20 + 5
y = 5x -15
Therefore, the correct answer is the first option.
First, we get the standard error of the mean using
σm = σ / √N
= 5 / √100
= 0.5
Next, we subtract and add 1.96 standard deviations from the mean (since the confidence interval is 95%). So,
8 ±1.96 (0.5)
= 8 <span>± 0.98
The answer is
