In order to do this, you will have to draw a triangle, then use sin, cos, and tan to solve for the distance.

Answer: 10.00 feet

Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is 10.00 feet. Since you know this a right triangle you can use the trig ratios. You know the angle and the adjacent side and you are trying to find the hypotenuse so you use cosine. cos 60° = 5/x .

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

[3.75 years, 5.45 years]

Step-by-step explanation:

The 90% confidence interval is given by the interval

\large [\bar x-t^*\frac{s}{\sqrt n}, \bar x+t^*\frac{s}{\sqrt n}]

where

<em>\large \bar x is the sample mean  </em>

<em>s is the sample standard deviation  </em>

<em>n is the sample size </em>

\large t^* is the 0.05 (5%) both-sided (**) critical value for <em>the Student's t-distribution with 19 degrees of freedom (sample size -1), which is an approximation to the Normal distribution for small samples (n≤ 30). </em>

Either by using a table or the computer, we find  

\large t^*= 1.729

and our 90% confidence interval is

\large [4.6-1.729*\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{20}}, 4.6+1.729*\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{20}}]=\boxed{[3.75,5.45]}

(**) 5% of the area to the left of \large  -t^* and 5% to right of \large t^* for a total of 90% inside the interval \large [-t^*,+t^*]

In an effort to cut costs and improve profits, any US companies have been turning to outsourcing. In fact, according to Purchasi
tangare [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution because there re only 2 possible outcomes. It is either a surveyed company outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two to three years. The probability of success, p would be that a randomly selected company x, outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two to three years. From the information given, p = 54/100 = 0.54

Number of success, x = 338

Number of samples, n = 555

We want to determine the probability that 338 or more companies outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two or three years which is expressed as

P(x ≥ 338)

From the binomial probability calculator,

P(x ≥ 338) = 0.0006

The percentage is 0.0006 × 100 = 0.06%
