Let the common ratio be r.
then 
a2*r*r=a4
rearrange,
r^2=a4/a2=112.5/50=2.25
r=sqrt(2.25)=1.5 = common ratio

A ladder leaning against a wall makes a 60° angle with the ground. The base of the ladder is 3 m from the building. How high abo
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The distance is 5.20m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the height of the ladder

To get this, we need to understand that we have a right triangle, with the base of the triangle as 3 m, the angle at the downward part is 60, and we want to get the height of the triangle

The angle here faces the height we want to calculate

This height is known as the opposite

What we have is the adjacent

Now, the trigonometric identity that relates the opposite and the adjacent is the tan

The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite to the adjacent

Mathematically;

tan 60 = h/3

h = 3 tan 60

h = 5.20 m

The ladder is at a height of 5.20 m above the ground

A college conducts a common test for all the students. For the Mathematics portion of this test, the scores are normally distrib
Jet001 [13]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 58.97% of students would be expected to score between 400 and 590.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

\mu = 502, \sigma = 115

The proportion of students between 400 and 590 is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 590 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 400</u>, hence:

X = 590:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{590 - 502}{115}

Z = 0.76

Z = 0.76 has a p-value of 0.7764.

X = 400:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{400 - 502}{115}

Z = -0.89

Z = -0.89 has a p-value of 0.1867.

0.7764 - 0.1867 = 0.5897 = 58.97%.

58.97% of students would be expected to score between 400 and 590.
