Answer:

<h2><em>46.4°</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagrammatic representation in the attachment given.

We can see that the diagram is a right angled triangle. To get the angle of elevation, we will use one of the trigonometry identity SOH, CAH, TOA.

Given the adjacent of the triangle to be 2miles (observation spot from the point of launch)and the opposite (side facing the elevation angle) as 2.1miles (the height), we will use TOA.

tan∅ = opposite/adjacent

tan∅ = 2.1/2

tan∅  = 1.05

∅ = tan⁻¹1.05

∅ = 46.4°

<em>Hence the angle of elevation from Kim to the space shuttle, which is at a height of 2.1 miles is approximately 46.4°</em>

Suppose that the function f is defined. , for all real numbers, as follows.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:   <em>The values of......</em>

<em>f(-5)=\frac{9}{4}\\ \\ f(-2)= -1\\ \\ f(4)=0</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is:   \left \{ {{f(x)= \frac{1}{4}x^2 -4, if x\neq -2} \atop {=-1, if x=-2}} \right.

For f(-5),  the value of x is -5, which is not equal to -2.

So,  f(-5)= \frac{1}{4}(-5)^2 -4 = \frac{1}{4}(25)-4 =\frac{25}{4}-4=\frac{25-16}{4}=\frac{9}{4}

For f(-2),  the value of x is -2.

So,  f(-2)= -1

For f(4),  the value of x is 4, which is not equal to -2.

So,  f(4)=\frac{1}{4}(4)^2 -4 =\frac{1}{4}(16)-4 =4-4=0

A product comes in cans labeled "38 oz". A random sample of 10 cans had the following weights:
KiRa [710]

Answer:

b. 35.9, 39.1 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

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".

barX=37.465 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=2.27 represent the sample standard deviation

n=10 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

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

barX +- t*[(s)/(sqrt{n))]   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=10-1=9

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 table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,9)".And we see that t_(alpha/2)=2.26

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

37.465-2.26[(2.27)/(sqrt{10))]=35.9    

37.465+2.26[(2.27)/(sqrt{10))]=39.1

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (35.9;39.1)
