What percentage grade should a road have if the angle of elevation of the road is 6 degrees? (The percentage grade is defined as

the change in the altitude of the road over a 100-foot horizontal distance. For example a 5% grade means that the road rises 5 feet for every 100 feet of horizontal distance.)

Answer:

  10.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the angle is the ratio of rise to run.

  tan(angle) = grade

  tan(6°) ≈ 0.105 = 10.5%

The grade will be 10.5% for an angle of elevation of 6°.

In a state where license plates contain six digits, what is the probability that the license number of a randomly selected car h
andre [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a state where license plates contain six digits.

Probability of that a number is 9 = \dfrac{1}{10}   [Since total digits = 10]

We assume that each digit of the license number is randomly selected  .

Since each digit in the license plate is independent from the other  and there is only two possible outcomes for given case (either 9 or not), so we can use Binomial.

Binomial probability formula:  P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

, where n= total trials , p = probability for each success.

Let x be the number of 9s in the license plate number.

X\sim Bin(n=6, p=\dfrac{1}{10}})

Then, the probability that the license number of a randomly selected car has exactly two 9's will be :

P(X=2)=^6C_2(\dfrac{1}{10})^2(1-\dfrac{1}{10})^{6-2}\\\\=\dfrac{6!}{2!(6-2)!}(\dfrac{1}{100})(\dfrac{9}{10})^4=0.098415

Hence, the required probability = 0.098415

Answer:

He can afford 5 large cheese pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

5.333333 ----> 5

5 large cheese pizzas
