Answer:

J + 9 = 63

Jackson = 54 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the variable 'J' for the height of Jackson, we know that Elliott is Jackson's height, plus an additional 9 inches.  Since Elliott is 64 inches tall in total, we can add Jackson's height plus 9 to get Elliot's height:

Jackson's height + 9 inches = Elliot's height

J + 9 = 63

Subtract '9' from both sides: J + 9 - 9 = 63 - 9 or J = 54

So, Jackson is 54 inches tall.

An observer (O) spots a plane flying at a 55° angle to his horizontal line of sight. If the plane is flying at an altitude of 21
mel-nik [20]

Angle of elevation is angle measured from horizontal line to line of sight, The distance from the plane to the observer is 25,636 feet approx

<h3>What is angle of elevation?</h3>

You look straight parallel to ground. But when you have to watch something high, then you take your sight up by moving your head up. The angle from horizontal line to the point where you stopped your head is called angle of elevation. See the figure where angle OPD is the angle when observer saw the plane. It  is measured from the horizontal line OD.

Refer to the attached figure.

It is given that we have

Length of PD = |PD| = 21,000 feet

Angle ∠OPD = 55°

Assuming length of OP = |OP| = x feet, we get the sin ratio as

sin(55^\circ) = \dfrac{|PD|}{|OP|} = \dfrac{21000}{x}\\\\x = \dfrac{21000}{\sin(55^\circ)} \approx 25636.27 \approx 25636 \: \rm feet

(tan 55°  was calculated from online calculator)

Thus,

The distance from the plane to the observer is 25,636 feet approx.

Juan needs to rewrite this difference as one expression. First he factored the denominators. What step should Juan take next whe
cricket20 [7]

The next step Juan will take is to multiply the second fraction by (x-2)/(x-2).

Given that Juan needs to rewrite this difference as one expression (3x/(x²-7x+10))-(2x/(3x-15)) and factor the denominator as (3x/(x-2)(x-5))-(2x/3(x-5)).

An algebraic expression in mathematics is an expression composed of variables and constants and algebraic operations (addition, subtraction, etc.). Expressions are made up of concepts.

The given expression is (3x/(x²-7x+10))-(2x/(3x-15))

Firstly, we will factored the denominator as

(3x/(x-2)(x-5))-(2x/3(x-5)).

Now, we will multiply and divide the second fraction by (x-2), we get

(3x/(x-2)(x-5))-((2x(x-2))/3(x-5)(x-2)).

Hence, the next step when subtracting these expressions (3x/(x-2)(x-5))-(2x/3(x-5)) is multiply the second fraction by (x-2)/(x-2).

2 cards are chosen from a deck of cards. The first card is replaced before choosing the second card. What is the probability tha
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The probability that the first card chosen is club and second card chosen is of heart is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cards in the deck is 52 (total number of cases).

Probability of an event E can be formulated as:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

For event A, number of cards of type club = 13 (favorable cases)

So,

P(A) = \dfrac{13}{52} \\\Rightarrow P(A) = \dfrac{1}{4}

For event B, number of cards of type heart = 13 (favorable cases)

So,

P(B) = \dfrac{13}{52} \\\Rightarrow P(B) = \dfrac{1}{4}

It is given that card is replaced before choosing the second card.

These events A and B are independent events, happening of one event does not effect the happening of other.  And probability of both happening together can be found as following:

P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B)

\Rightarrow P(A \cap B) = \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow P(A \cap B) = \dfrac{1}{16}

The probability that the first card chosen is club and second card chosen is of heart is \frac{1}{16}.

You observe a portfolio for five years and determine that its average annual return is 13% and the standard deviation of its ret
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

There is a 95% probability that the portfolio would not loose more than 30% of its value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for proportions (<em>p</em>) is:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

The information provided is:

\hat p = 0.13\\\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p}{n}} =0.21

For 95% confidence level the critical value of <em>z</em> is:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

The 95% confidence interval for average annual return is:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.13\pm 1.96\times0.21\\=0.13\pm 0.4116\\=(-0.2816, 0.5416)\\\approx(-28\%, 54\%)

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is -28%.

This implies that the portfolio would not loose more than 28% of its value.

Thus, there is a 95% probability that the portfolio would not loose more than 30% of its value.
