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>

Find the equation of the least squares regression line. Show all calculations, and be sure to define any variables used.
spayn [35]
Steps
Step 1: For each (x,y) point calculate x2 and xy.
Step 2: Sum all x, y, x2 and xy, which gives us Σx, Σy, Σx2 and Σxy (Σ means "sum up")
Step 3: Calculate Slope m:
m = N Σ(xy) − Σx Σy N Σ(x2) − (Σx)2
Step 4: Calculate Intercept b:
b = Σy − m Σx N.
Step 5: Assemble the equation of a line.

A ferryboat makes four trips to an island each day.The ferry can hold 88 people.If the ferry is full on each trip,how many passe
olga_2 [115]

Multiplication was invented to reduce the work involved in repeated addition.

... 88 + 88 + 88 + 88 = 4×88 = 352

352 passengers are carried <em>to</em> the island each day.

_____

Some questions must be answered before we can give a definite answer.

1. If the same person rides twice, are they counted twice?

2. Are passengers on the return trips (<em>from</em> the island) counted?

3. If return trip passengers are counted, is the ferry full on those trips?

4. Does every passenger to the island return the same day?

5. Does any passenger go to the island more than once per day?

belka [17]

Answer:

the statements given above are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Frederick designed an experiment in which he spun a spinner 20 times and recorded the results of each spin.  

He spun a 4 five times.

The statements true are:

i) For the experimental outcomes to be closer to the predicted outcome, the number of trials should be increased.

iii) If the number of trials is changed, the experimental probability also changes.

iv) If the number of trials is changed, the predicted number of outcomes also changes.

v) If the number of trials is changed, the number of experimental outcomes also changes.
