The distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the sofa rounded to the nearest tenth is 47.3 inches.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

According to the diagram, length of the ramp is, AC= 55 inches. The top of the seat cushion is 28 inches above the floor. That means, BC=28 inches

We need to find the distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the sofa which is AB

In right angle triangle ABC, using Pythagorean theorem...

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2\\ \\ (55)^2= AB^2 + (28)^2 \\ \\ AB^2 = (55)^2 - (28)^2 \\ \\ AB^2 = 3025 - 784\\ \\ AB^2 = 2241\\ \\ AB = \sqrt{2241}= 47.3

So, the distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the sofa rounded to the nearest tenth is 47.3 inches.

Answer: d. There is no relationship between education level and smoking habits.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is the affirmation that two parameters or phenomena do not have a relation between them.

Here the parameters are smoking and having a bachelor's degree or higher education.

Then the null hypothesis says that those two things do not have any relation, this would imply that the probability of being a smoker does not depend on having a degree or not.

Then the correct option is d "There is no relationship between education level and smoking habits."
