Answer:

6.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of the ramp in feet.

We have been given that steel loading ramps are used to load a lawn mower onto a truck bed 37.5 inches above the ground. The ramp make a 30° angle with the ground.

We can see from our attachment that ramp and truck bed forms a right triangle with ground. The truck bed is opposite side and length of ramp is hypotenuse of our given angle.

Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use Sine to solve for L.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

Therefore, the length of the ramp is 75 inches.

Let us convert the length of ramp in feet.

1 feet = 12 inches.

Therefore, the length of the ramp is 6.25 feet.

A researcher reports survey results by stating that the standard error of the mean is 25 the population standard deviation is 40

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

a) A sample of 256 was used in this survey.

b) 45.14% probability that the point estimate was within ±15 of the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

a. How large was the sample used in this survey?

We have that $s = 25, \sigma = 400$ . We want to find n, so:

$s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$25 = \frac{400}{\sqrt{n}}$

$25\sqrt{n} = 400$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{400}{25}$

$\sqrt{n} = 16$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = 16^2[tex][tex]n = 256$

A sample of 256 was used in this survey.

b. What is the probability that the point estimate was within ±15 of the population mean?

15 is the bounds with want, 25 is the standard error. So

Z = 15/25 = 0.6 has a pvalue of 0.7257

Z = -15/25 = -0.6 has a pvalue of 0.2743

0.7257 - 0.2743 = 0.4514

45.14% probability that the point estimate was within ±15 of the population mean

It takes 40 units of maple sap to produce 1 ounce of maple syrup. Jane and her family are bottling maple syrup in 20 -ounce bott

Setler [38]

Answer:

10,800

-1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

40 units of maple sap = 1 ounce of maple syrup

Using a 20 - ounce bottle, 2 ounces of air is left

Ounces of actual syrup = (20 - 2) = 18 ounces

Number of maple sap required to fill 15 bottles :

Number of maple saps required to fill 18 ounces bottle :

40 units = 1 ounce

x = 18 ounces

Hence, for 18 ounces of maple syrup :

(40 * 18).= 720 units of maple sap

For 15 bottles of 18 ounces maple syrup:

(720 * 15) = 10,800 units of maple sap

If they had filled each bottle to the top:

(40 * 20 * 15) = 12000 units of maple sap

10,800 - 12000 = - 1200 units of maple sap

One maid can clean the house four times faster than another. Working together they can clean the entire house in 4 hours. How lo

stich3 [128]

5 hours long would it take the faster maid cleaning alone.

What is a linear equation in math?

A linear equation only has one or two variables.
No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction.
When you find pairs of values that make a linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points lie on the same line.

Suppose, time taken by faster maid be x , hours.

So, time taken by slower maid ,

$x_{2} = 4x_{1}$ ( 4 time faster maid )
