Answer:

The angle of depression between the cliff and the boat is $48.8141^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base width of the cliff=175 foot

Height of the cliff= 200 foot= 200 foot

To Find:

The angle of depression between the cliff and the boat=?

Solution:

Angle of Depression

The angle below horizontal that an observer must look to see an object that is lower than the observer.The angle of depression is congruent to the angle of elevation

$tan( y )= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Substituting the values,

$tan( y )= \frac{200}{175}$

$tan( y )= 1.14$

$y= tan^{-1}(1.14)$

$y=48.8141^\circ$

Newborn babies: A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights

Fed [463]

Answer:

a) 615

b) 715

c) 344

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given that, A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 732 babies born in New York. The mean weight was 3311 grams with a standard deviation of 860 grams

Since the distribution is approximately bell-shaped, we can use the normal distribution and calculate the Z scores for each scenario.

Z = (x - mean)/standard deviation

Now,

For x = 4171, Z = (4171 - 3311)/860 = 1

P(Z < 1) using Z table for areas for the standard normal distribution, you will get 0.8413.

Next, multiply that by the sample size of 732.

Therefore 732(0.8413) = 615.8316, so approximately 615 will weigh less than 4171

For part b, use the same method except x is now 1591.

Z = (1581 - 3311)/860 = -2

P(Z > -2) , using the Z table is 1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772 . Now 732(0.9772) = 715.3104, so approximately 715 will weigh more than 1591.

For part c, we now need to get two Z scores, one for 3311 and another for 5031.

Z1 = (3311 - 3311)/860 = 0

Z2 = (5031 - 3311)/860= 2

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 2) = 0.9772 - 0.5000 = 0.4772

approximately 47% fall between 0 and 1 standard deviation, so take 0.47 times 732 ⇒ 732×0.47 = 344.

For circle O, mCD=125° and m

Burka [1]

CA is a diameter of the circle, so $m\widehat{AC}=180^\circ$ , which means $m\angle AOB=m\angle AOD=m\widehat{AD}=180^\circ-m\widehat{CD}=55^\circ$ . Then $m\boxed{\angle ABO}=90^\circ-55^\circ=35^\circ$ .

This means $m\angle CBO=55^\circ-35^\circ=20^\circ$ . Also, if $m\angle AOB=55^\circ$ , then $m\angle BOC=180^\circ-55^\circ=125^\circ$ , which in turns tells us that $m\boxed{\angle BCO}=180^\circ-20^\circ-125^\circ=35^\circ$ .

In October sally drove 560 miles in her car.

torisob [31]

The cost is £79.76. Since the car covers 560 miles and 34.5 miles is travelled by one gallon. So, dividing 560 by 34.5 we get 16.23. Since 1 gallon is 4.55 litres, 16.23 gallons is 73.8465. Now the cost of petrol is £1.08 per litre. So, multiplying 73.8465 by £1.08 we have £79.76
