Answer:

15.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Pythagorean Theorem to find the height.

The hypotenuse of the formed triangle =  length of ladder = 16 feet

base = 5 feet

let h = height of house

16 ^2 = 5^2  +  h^2

256 = 25 + h^2

231 = h^2

h = root(231) = 15.1986 feet

Tamika has a hard rubber ball whose circumference measures 13 inches. she wants to box it for a gift but can only find cube-shap
Ostrovityanka [42]
The rubber ball, in this case, can be considered a circle with a circumference of 13 inches. So, we can find the diameter of the rubber ball using the formula C=\pi d or d=\frac{C}{\pi }. That is 
    d=\frac{C}{\pi }=\frac{13\:inches}{\pi }=\frac{13}{\pi }=4.14\:inches

Therefore, the diameter is greater than 4 inches and less than 5 inches. That means the smallest box that the ball will fit into with the top on is the 5 inches box.

A fruit seller purchased 20 kg of apples at Rs 80 per kg and sold them at Rs 85 per kg. find profit and profit percent​
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Profit = Rs 100

Profit %age = 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price = Rs 80

Cost Price for 20 kg = Rs 1600

Selling Price = Rs 85

<u><em>Profit for 1 kg</em></u> = Rs 85 - Rs 80

=> Rs 5 (For 1 Kg)

<u><em>Profit for 20 kg:</em></u>

=> Rs 5*20

=> Rs 100

<u><em>Now Profit %age:</em></u>

=> \frac{100}{1600}* 100

=> 0.0625 * 100

=> 6.25%

Is the confidence interval affected by the fact that the data appear to be from a population that is not normally​ distributed?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

If the sample size is higher than 30, on this case the answer would be:

D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

And the reason is given by The Central Limit Theorem since states if the individual distribution is normal then the sampling distribution for the sample mean is also normal.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

If the sample size it's not large enough n<30, on that case the distribution would be not normal.
