Answer: 19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.  

Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side  

Where α is the angle of depression of the dog, the opposite side (16) is Ted's eye level above the ground, and the adjacent side (x) is the distance between the dog and the barn door.

Replacing with the values given:  

tan40 = 16/x

Solving for x  

x =16/tan40

x= 19 ft

Scores on an exam follow an approximately normal distribution with a mean of 76. 4 and a standard deviation of 6. 1 points. What
crimeas [40]

If scores on an exam follow an approximately normal distribution with a mean of 76.4 and a standard deviation of 6.1 points, then the minimum score you would need to be in the top 2% is equal to 88.929.

A problem of this type in mathematics can be characterized as a normal distribution problem. We can use the z-score to solve it by using the formula;

Z = x - μ / σ

In this formula the standard score is represented by Z, the observed value is represented by x, the mean is represented by μ, and the standard deviation is represented by σ.

The p-value can be used to determine the z-score with the help of a standard table.

As we have to find the minimum score to be in the top 2%, p-value = 0.02

The z-score that is found to correspond with this p-value of 0.02 in the standard table is 2.054

Therefore,

2.054 = x - 76.4 ÷ 6.1

2.054 × 6.1 = x - 76.4

12.529 = x - 76.4

12.529 + 76.4 = x

x = 88.929

Hence 88.929 is calculated to be the lowest score required to be in the top 2%.

sladkih [1.3K]
Megabyte difference = 96 - 24 = 72
time difference = 1:15 - 1:10 = 15 min.

Download rate would be: 72 / 15 = 4.8

So, Your Answer would be 4.8 mb/min

Hope this helps!
