Answer:

336.7 yards away from the cabin....

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle 30.7° is also the angle of the upper interior angle of the triangle (near the cabin)

Use the tan function:

opposite = 200 yards

adjacent = x

tan(30.7°) = (opposite / adjacent)

tan(30.7°) = 200 yards/x

x * tan(30.7°) = 200 yards

x = 200 yards/ tan(30.7°)

x= 200/ 0.594

x = 336.7 yards.

336.7 yards away from the cabin....

Bumek [7]

Answer:

(a) 20.9%

(b) 60.8%

(c) 6.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability.

P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

(a)

P = ₁₀C₅ (0.59)⁵ (1−0.59)¹⁰⁻⁵

P = 0.209

(b)

P = ₁₀C₆ (0.59)⁶ (1−0.59)¹⁰⁻⁶

+ ₁₀C₇ (0.59)⁷ (1−0.59)¹⁰⁻⁷

+ ₁₀C₈ (0.59)⁸ (1−0.59)¹⁰⁻⁸

+ ₁₀C₉ (0.59)⁹ (1−0.59)¹⁰⁻⁹

+ ₁₀C₁₀ (0.59)¹⁰ (1−0.59)¹⁰⁻¹⁰

P = 0.608

(c)

P = ₁₀C₀ (0.59)⁰ (1−0.59)¹⁰⁻⁰

+ ₁₀C₁ (0.59)¹ (1−0.59)¹⁰⁻¹

+ ₁₀C₂ (0.59)² (1−0.59)¹⁰⁻²

+ ₁₀C₃ (0.59)³ (1−0.59)¹⁰⁻³

P = 0.063

Here, Add both the equations in order to eliminate y, 
5x = 10
x = 10/5
x = 2

Now, substitute it in 1st equation, 
8(2) - 4y = -32
-4y= -32- 16
y = -48/-4
y = 12

In short, Your Answer would be (2, 12)

Hope this helps!
