Answer:

305 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure :

The angle of elevation from Madison to the top of the Statue of Liberty is 79 degrees i.e.∠ABE=79°

Madison is standing 58.2 feet from its base i.e.BE=CD=58.2 feet

She is 5 feet tall i.e. BC=ED=5 feet.

We are supposed to find the height of the Statue of Liberty i.e. AD

In ΔABE

$Tan\theta =\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

$Tan 70^{\circ} =\frac{AE}{BE}$

$Tan 70^{\circ} =\frac{AE}{58.2}$

$58.2 \times 5.1445=AE$

$299.4099=AE$

AD = AE+ED = 299.4099+5 =304.409

Hence the height of the Statue of Liberty is 304.40 feet≈ 305 feet.

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following information given in the problem:

- <span>The angle of elevation from Madison to the top of the Statue of Liberty is 79 degrees.
- Madison is standing 58.2 feet from its base.

-Madison is 5 feet tall.

2. Therefore, you have:

Sin</span>α=opposite/hypotenuse
<span>
Sin(79°)=x/58.2
x=(58.2)(Sin(79°))
x=57.13 ft

3. Now, you can calculate the height of the Statue of Liberty, as below:

height=x+5 ft
height=57.13 ft+5 ft
height=62.13 ft

4. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: 62.13 ft

A sample of eight workers in a clothing manufacturing company gave the following figures for the amount of time(in minutes) need

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

$10.108 < \mu < 13.892$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

We have the following distribution for the random variable:

$X \sim N(\mu , \sigma=0.45)$

And by the central theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=12$

The sample deviation calculated $s=2.268$

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=8-1=7$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,7)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.36$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$12-2.36\frac{2.268}{\sqrt{8}}=10.108$

$12+2.36\frac{2.268}{\sqrt{8}}=13.892$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (10.108;13.892)

$10.108 < \mu < 13.892$
