Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Empire State Building = 1,472 feet

Angle formed by the line segment from the point of ground on which Dante is positioned to the top of the building is  48.4°.

Distance of Dante from the Empire State Building =?

In the fig ,ΔABC

AB = 1,472 feet, BC = ? , θ= 48.4°

\tan\theta =\frac{Perpendicular}{base}

\tan 48.4^o=\frac{AB}{BC}

BC=\frac{AB}{\tan 48.4^o}=\frac{1,472 feet}{1.1263}=1,306.9 feet\approx 1,307 feet

Distance of Dante from the Empire State Building is 1,307 feet.

Answer:

C. 1307 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle = 48.4 degrees

Height, opposite side= 1472 feet

his distance from the Empire State Building, base=x

Now as per the trigonometric ratios:

Tan∅= Opposite/base

tan(48.4)= 1472/x

x=1472/(1.13)

x=1302.65

his distance from the Empire State Building is 1302.65 feet!

A hypothesis test has a significance level of 10%. Explain what this significance level represents.
beks73 [17]
In statistical methods, the significance level is a value that is used as a criterion for rejecting a null hypothesis. It used by first looking at the differences between the experimental results and from there the null hypothesis would be determined. Then, we assume that the null hypothesis is true, the probability of the differences is computed by using statistical tools. If the computed probability is less than or equal to the value of the significance level, then you conclude that the null hypothesis should be rejected and that the results are statistically significant. Usually, a significance level of 1% or 5% is used.
