<span>Let </span>

<span>X=  the altitude of the lighthouse above sea level= 80 ft</span>

 A = the angle of depression 

Y= the distance of the boat from the lighthouse= 400 ft

 tan A=X/Y------------------ > 80/400=0.2

arctan (0.2)=11.31 degree

A survey of 250 homeless persons showed that 14 were veterans. Find a point estimate for the population proportion of homeless p
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

\hat p =\frac{14}{250}= 0.056

And for this case that represent the 5.6% of the homeless persons who are veterans

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a survey of 250 homeless persons 14 were veterans. We can find the estimated proportion of homeless persons who are veterans with the following formula:

\hat p =\frac{X}{n}

The last one is an unbiased estimator of the true population proportion p

And replacing the info given we got:

\hat p =\frac{14}{250}= 0.056

And for this case that represent the 5.6% of the homeless persons who are veterans

Find the length of a leg of a right triangle (in inches) if the other leg measures 9 in. and the hypotenuse measures 19 in. Roun
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

a = 16.733

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 9^2 = 19^2

a^2 = 19^2 - 9^2

a^2 = 361-81

a^2 =280

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(280)

a = 16.73320053

Rounding to the nearest thousandth

a = 16.733
