The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

1.8/2 = h / (1+2)

So the lamppost is 2.7 meters tall. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

A boy stands 1 meter away from a lamppost. He is 1.8 meters tall and casts a shadow 2 meters long in the light from the lamp

The diagram is attached below using the given information

We have two similar triangle

Triangle ACD is similar to triangle ABE. So the sides are in proportional

\frac{DC}{EB} =\frac{AC}{AB}

AC = AB + BC = 3m

\frac{x}{1.8}=\frac{3}{2}

2x = 1.8 * 3 (cross multiply)

2x = 5.4

Divide by 2 on both sides

x = 2.7

Height of Lamppost is 2.7 meter

Suppose that a hypothesis test is conducted. 12 out of 100 subjects have the necessary qualities. The null hypothesis is that th
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Option A

The p-value is less than the significance level of 0.05 chosen and so we reject the null hypothesis H0 and can conclude that the proportion of the subjects who have the necessary qualities is less than 0.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, in hypothesis testing, the level of statistical significance is often expressed as the so-called p-value. We use p-values to make conclusions in significance testing. More specifically, we compare the p-value to a significance level "α" to make conclusions about our hypotheses.

If the p-value is lower than the significance level we chose, then we reject the null hypotheses H0 in favor of the alternative hypothesis Ha. However, if the p-value is greater than or equal to the significance level, then we fail to reject the null hypothesis H0

though this doesn't mean we accept H0 automatically.

Now, applying this to our question;

The p-value is 0.023 while the significance level is 0.05.

Thus,p-value is less than the significance level of 0.05 chosen and so we reject the null hypothesis H0 and can conclude that the proportion of the subjects who have the necessary qualities is less than 0.2.

The only option that is correct is option A.

For the function f(x) and g(x) given in the graph. Find f(g(2))
Katen [24]

Answer:

f(g(2)) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

find g(2) then substitute the value obtained into f(x)

locate x = 2 on the x- axis, go vertically up to meet g(x) at (2, 5 )

locate x = 5 on the x- axis, go vertically up to meet f(x) at (5, 4 )

then f(g(2)) = 4
