You need to remove a tree from your front yard. You have climbed the tree and trimmed off the branches, and you are now ready to

chop down the trunk. It is very important that the tree falls in the right direction… away from your house. You have attached a wire to the top of the trunk. You will attach the other end of the wire to the ground and pull it tightly so that when the trunk begins to fall, the wire will pull it in the right direction. The trunk is 24 feet tall and you are going to attach the wire to the ground 10 feet away from the base of the trunk. a) How long must your wire be to reach the ground?

Answer:

26 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the required wire =l

The height of the tree =24 cm

We want the tree to fall to the ground 10 feet away from the base.

Ths problem forms a right triangle which I have drawn and attached below.

To determine the length of the wire l required, we use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

B$y Pythagoras theorem: Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\$Therefore:\\l^2=24^2+10^2\\l^2=676\\$Take the square root of both sides\\l=\sqrt{676}\\ l=26$ feet

Thw wire must be 26 feet long to reach the ground.

What is the reliability of a two-component product if the components are in parallel, with individual reliabilities of 0.95, and
user100 [1]

The reliability of a two-component product if the components are in parallel is 0.99.

In this question,

The probability of failure-free operation of a system with several parallel elements is always higher than that of the best element in the system. Reliability can be increased if the same function is done by two or more elements arranged in parallel.

A system contains two components that are arranged in parallel, they are 0.95 and 0.80.

Therefore the system reliability can be calculated as follows

⇒ 1 - ( 1 - 0.95 ) × ( 1 - 0.80 )

⇒ 1 - (0.05 × 0.20)

⇒ 1 - 0.01

⇒ 0.99

Hence we can conclude that the reliability of a two-component product if the components are in parallel is 0.99.

The report "Teens and Distracted Driving: Texting, Talking and Other Uses of the Cell Phone Behind the Wheel" summarizes data fr
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

"Teens and Distracted Driving: Texting, Talking and Other Uses of the Cell Phone Behind the Wheel"

a. The inference made involves estimation.  The question provided that the statements were made on the basis of the resulting data and not on the basis of some hypothesis testing.

This implies that some statistics were calculated from sample data to approximate the population parameter, as shown in the statements.  The statements were not an attempt to establish the statistical significance of some claims.

b. The population of interest is American teenagers between 12-17.

Step-by-step explanation:

An inference from data is a statistical estimation by which some statistics are calculated based on the sample data of 800 teens between the ages of 12 and 17.  The statistics serve as an approximation to the population parameter.

Inference based on hypothesis testing establishes if a claim has statistical significance by providing  statistical evidence in favor of the claim or against it.
