Answer:

  7.28 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the distance at closest approach is represented by x. Then the distance to the point of closest approach at the first sighting is ...

  d1 = x·tan(62°)

At the second sighting, the distance to the point of closest approach is ...

  d2 = x·tan(38°)

The difference of these distances is 8 miles, so we have ...

  d1 -d2 = 8 = x(tan(62°) -tan(38°))

Dividing by the coefficient of x, we find ...

  x = 8/(tan(62°) -tan(38°)) ≈ 7.2764 . . . . miles

The point of closest approach is about 7.28 miles from the landmark.

"More than 60% of the students scored below the mean on the last test." Can this statement be true? Why or why not?
Lelu [443]
The mean is the average of a set of numbers.

So if the remaining 40% of students score 100 points, and the 60% score like 50 points, then the mean would still be 70 points because of the 40% of students that scored super high.

So yes, it can be true.

Can you pleas help me solve this assignment?
Iteru [2.4K]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "<span>1,903.73."</span>

Solution:
(1) Multiply the percent favored to the Number surveyed
0.60 * 2700 = 1,620
0.55 * 1900 = 1,045
0.40 * 1000 = 400

So the total is 3,065

(2) Get the weighted mean:
Add the total percent favored = 0.66 + 0.55 + 0.41 = 1.61
Weighted mean = 3,065 / 1.61 = 1,903.73
