The distance of plane from the origin is 357.14 miles

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

distance traveled southwards, y = 600 miles

Distance traveled east of south, z = 250 miles

Angle, θ = 35°

Distance of plane from the origin, x = ?

The figure is attached for reference:

tan θ = Perpendicular / base

tan θ = distance travelled east of south / x

tan 35° = 250 / x

we know,

tan 35° = 0.7

So,

0.7 = \frac{250}{x} \\\\x = \frac{250}{0.7} \\\\x = 357.14 miles

Therefore, the distance of plane from the origin is 357.14 miles

A set of physics exam scores are normally distributed with a mean of 80 points and a standard deviation of 6
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The proportion of exam scores that are lower than Irina's score is 0.9938

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Data</u>

  • mean: 80 points
  • standard deviation (sd): 6 points
  • value of interest (x): 95 points

z-score is computed as follows:

z = (x - mean)/sd

z = (95 - 80)/6 = 2.5

We want to find:

P(z < 2.5)

From the table attached:

P(z < 2.5) = 0.9938

Answer:

y = 5.595090517 or approximately 5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan47 = 6/y

y x Tan47/Tan47 = 6/Tan47

y = 5.595090517 or approximately 5.6

Assuming boys and girls are equally​ likely, find the probability of a couple having a baby boy when their fifth child is​ born,
GREYUIT [131]

Answer: \dfrac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that the boys and girls are equally​ likely, so the probability of having a girl is equal to probability of having a boy = \dfrac{1}{2} .

Let B = Event of having a boy.

G= Event of having a girl.

Since both events are independent of each other . (Events that do not depends on each other.)

So irrespective of the four baby boy , the probability that the fifth child is a boy = \dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore , the probability of a couple having a baby boy when their fifth child is​ born, given that the first four children were all boys= \dfrac{1}{2}

Are Triangles similar?
kvasek [131]

Given:

A figure of triangles.

To find:

Whether the triangles SPT and triangle QPR are similar.

Solution:

In triangle SPT and triangle QPR,

\angle PST\cong \angle PQR           (Given)

\angle SPT\cong \angle QPR           (Common angle)

In triangles SPT and triangle QPR, two corresponding angles are congruent. So, by AA property of similarity both triangles are similar.

\angle SPT\sim \angle QPR

Therefore, yes, the triangle SPT and triangle QPR similar. Option A is correct.
