A person whose eye level is 20 feet above the ground is looking at a building. The angle of elevation to the top of the building

is 31º and the angle of depression to the bottom of the building is 24∘. What is the height (in feet) of the building? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Distance of the person from the building (x)

tan 24 = 20/x => x = 20/tan 24 = 44.92 ft

The height of the building above the height of the person and the distance of the person from the building forms two legs of right angled triangle.

Therefore, if h is the height of the building, then;
tan 31 = (h-20)/44.92
h-20 = 44.92 tan 31
h = (44.92 tan 31) + 20 = 26.99 + 20 = 46.99 ft

Mikey has two mice that were about the same age and weight Mikey fed each of the 2 mice a different feed for a month. He measure
Nadusha1986 [10]
The following is the rest of the question:
------------------------------------------------------
Mikey's results showed that although both mice gained weight over the month, mouse 2 gained more weight than mouse 1.Which graph below best shows these results?
The complete figure is attached
=========================================================
Solution:
---------------
Graph (1)⇒⇒⇒ mouse 2 has constant weight and mouse 1 gained weight

Graph (3)⇒⇒⇒ mouse 2 has did not gain weight and mouse 1 gained weight

∴ Graph (1) and (3) are incorrect because both mice gained weight .

Graph (4) is incorrect because mouse 2 gained more weight than mouse 1

So, the correct answer is graph (2)

The distribution of bladder volume in men is approximately Normal with mean 550 ml and standard deviation 100 ml.
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a) 15.866%

b) Middle 95% = 350 ml to 750 ml

c) 0.3829

d) Middle 90% of men’s bladder fall = 385.5ml to 714.5 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

The distribution of bladder volume in men is approximately Normal with mean 550 ml and standard deviation 100 ml.

Required:

a. What percent of men have a bladder volume smaller than 450 ml?

z = 450 - 550/100

= -1

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<450) = 0.15866

Convert to percentage

0.15866 × 100

= 15.866%

b. Between what volumes do the middle 95% of men’s bladders fall?

Middle 95% falls between 2 standard deviation of the mean

μ ± 2σ

μ - 2σ

550 - 2(100)

= 550 - 200

= 350 ml

μ + 2σ

= 550 + 2(100)

= 550 + 200

= 750 ml

Middle 95% = 350 ml to 750 ml

c. What proportion of male bladders are between 500 and 600 ml?

For 500ml

z = 500 - 550/100

= -0.5

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 500) = 0.30854

For 600ml

z = 600 - 550/100

= 0.5

Probabilty value from Z-Table:

P(x = 600) = 0.69146

Proportion of male bladders are between 500 and 600 ml

P(x = 600) - P(x = 500)

0.69146 - 0.30854

= 0.38292

≈ 0.3829

d. What volumes do the middle 90% of men’s bladder fall?

The z score for middle 90% + / – 1.645

Hence,

1.645 = x - 550/100

1.645 × 100 = x - 550

164.5 + 550 = x

x = 714.5 ml

-1.645 = x - 550/100

-1.645 × 100 = x - 550

- 164.5 + 550 = x

x = 385.5ml

Middle 90% of men’s bladder fall = 385.5ml to 714.5 ml
