Answer:

48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.

Therefore, in figure,

AB/FD = BC/DE --- (1)

where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.

From the given information,

BC = 36 feet

FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet

(1) becomes

AB/4 = 36/3

AB = 12

AB = 48

Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.

What is the exponential form of log5 15,625 = 6?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

I'm currently having the same lesson.

Exponential form:

5⁶ = 15,625

The number next to the "log" symbol is the base, which is positioned down. Next to the base of the exponent is the result of the exponent.

The number after the equal sign is the exponent.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The need to sample 76 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How many days do they need to sample

We need to sample n days.

n is found when M = 300.

We have that \sigma = 1010

So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

300 = 2.575*\frac{1010}{\sqrt{n}}

300\sqrt{n} = 2.575*1010

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*1010}{300}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*1010}{300})^{2}

n = 75.1

Rounding up

The need to sample 76 days.

Suppose the 100 people in society X all know the same 10 facts, while the 10 people in society Z specialize, with each person kn
Ivan

Answer:

29 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Society X ;

Population = 100

Number of facts known = 10

Average fact known per person = known fact / population = 10 / 100 = 0.1

Society X:

Population = 19

Common fact known by 9 = 5

Specialized fact, known by 10 = 5 * 10 = 50

Total facts = common + specialized = 55

Average fact known per person = 55 / 19 = 2.8947368 fact per person

Number of times society Z is better :

2.8947368 / 0.1 = 28.947 times

Approximately 29 times
