Answer:

In traveling across flat land, you notice a mountain directly in front of you. Its angle of elevation (to the peak) is 3.5°. After you drive x = 13 km closer to the mountain, the angle of elevation is 9°. Find the height of the mountain (round to one decimal place). Just enter the height value with one decimal. Do not enter the unit.

The height of the mountain is 1.2 km without unit it is only 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two angle of elevation.

We have to find the height of the mountain.

Let the height be "h" .

Note:

Angle of elevation will increase as we move closer to the object.

Considering the distance from 3.5 ° as (13+x) km

Using trigonometric ratios:

For adjacent side "x".

⇒ tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

⇒ tan(9) = \frac{h}{x}               <em> ...equation (i)</em>

⇒ x\times tan(9) = h         <em>...equation (ii)</em>

For adjacent side "(13+x)"

⇒ tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

⇒ tan(3.5) = \frac{h}{13+x}          <em>...equation (iii)</em>

 Dividing equation (i) and (iii).

⇒ \frac{tan(9)}{tan(3.5)} =\frac{h}{x}\times \frac{13+x}{h}

⇒ 2.58 =\frac{13+x}{x}                  <em>...cross multiplication</em>

⇒ 2.58x=13+x

⇒ 2.58x-x=13+x-x   <em>...subtract x both side</em>

⇒ 1.58x=13

⇒ x=\frac{13}{1.58}

⇒x=8.22 km

Plugging x=8.22 km in equation (ii) we can find h that is the height of the mountain.

So,

⇒ x\times tan(9) = h

⇒ 8.22\times 0.15 =h

⇒ 1.23 = h

The height of the mountain is 1.23 km with one decimal it is 1.2 km only.

Answer:

1. a. z test for means and t test for means.

2. C. HA : mu1 - mu2 > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis testing is used in a situation where there are more than 1 alternative available. The t test is conducted in the mean which determines the t value and then this value is compared with p value to identify the situation whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis in this situation is is represented by mu.

What Is The Mean In The Numbers Below?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is add the numbers

1 + 8 + 4 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 0 = 40

Since there is 8 numbers, you divide 40 by 8.

40/8 = 5

The mean of the set of numbers is 5.
