Answer:

2.2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let x be the distance between runway and the airplane, where plane start the approach.

We have been given that to approach the runway, a pilot of a small plane must begin a 10° descent starting from a height of 1983 feet above the ground.

We can see from our attachment that angle DAC is equal to angle BCA (by alternate interior angles).

Side length AB is opposite side and x is hypotenuse for our given angle. Since Sine represents the relation between the hypotenuse and opposite of right triangle, so we will use sine to find the length of x.

\text{Sin}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

\text{Sin}(10^o)=\frac{1983}{x}

x=\frac{1983}{\text{Sin}(10^o)}

x=\frac{1983}{0.173648177667}

x=11419.6418680692448271

Since length of x is in feet, let us convert our answer into miles.

1 mile = 5280 feet.

Let us divide length of x by 5280 to get our answer in miles.

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=\frac{11419.6418680692448271\text{ feet}}{\frac{5280\text{ feet}}{\text{miles}}}

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=\frac{11419.6418680692448271\text{ feet}}{5280}\times \frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ feet}}

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=\frac{11419.6418680692448271}{5280}\times \text{ miles}

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=2.162810959\text{ miles}\approx 2.2\text{ miles}

Therefore, the distance between the runway and the airplane where it start this approach is 2.2 miles.

James said that he would need 25 red beads to make
o-na [289]

Answer:Elena uses 12 red beads to make 4 bracelets. How many red beads will Elena need to make 12 bracelets? How many red beads will Elena need to make 20 bracelets? You can make a table showing the number of bracelets that can be made with different numbers of red beads. The pairs of numbers in each column show the ratio ofred beads to bracelets. Notice the ratios are all equivalent.

Number of Red Beads 3 6 12 24 36 48 60 72 Number of Bracelets 1 2 4 8 12 16 20 24  

The table shows Elena will need 36 red beads to make 12 bracelets. Elena will need 60 red beads to make 20 bracelets. James said that he would need 25 red beads to make 75 bracelets. Is he correct? How did he get that answer?

Really easy points!!!!!! Please solve for all three answers.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

1/64, 1/256, 1/1024

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from 16 to 4 we multiply by 1/4

To get from 4 to 1 we multiply by 1/4

Each time we multiply by 1/4

The next term would be 1/16 * 1/4

1/16 * 1/4 = 1/64

The take that term 1/64 and multiply by 1/4

1/64*1/4 = 1/256

Finally take 1/256 and multiply by 1/4

1/256*1/4 =1/1024

Answer:

y = -7.2x + 540

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope I used the x-and-y intercepts: (0, 540) and (75, 0)

slope = 540/-75 or -7.2

7.109) The leading brand of dishwasher detergent has a 30% market share. A sample of 25 dishwasher detergent customers was taken
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

0.9021 = 90.21% probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand

Step-by-step explanation:

For each customer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they choose the leading brand, or they do not. The probability of a customer choosing the leading brand is independent of any other customer, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The leading brand of dishwasher detergent has a 30% market share.

This means that p = 0.3

A sample of 25 dishwasher detergent customers was taken.

This means that n = 25

a. What is the probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand?

This is:

P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{25} = 0.0001

P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{24} = 0.0014

P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{23} = 0.0074

P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{22} = 0.0243

P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{21} = 0.0572

P(X = 5) = C_{25,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{20} = 0.1030

P(X = 6) = C_{25,6}.(0.3)^{6}.(0.7)^{19} = 0.1472

P(X = 7) = C_{25,7}.(0.3)^{7}.(0.7)^{18} = 0.1712

P(X = 8) = C_{25,8}.(0.3)^{8}.(0.7)^{17} = 0.1651

P(X = 9) = C_{25,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{16} = 0.1336

P(X = 10) = C_{25,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{15} = 0.0916

Then

P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0001 + 0.0014 + 0.0074 + 0.0243 + 0.0572 + 0.1030 + 0.1472 + 0.1712 + 0.1651 + 0.1336 + 0.0916 = 0.9021

0.9021 = 90.21% probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand
