A pilot flying at an altitude of 1.8km sights the runway directly in front of her. The angle of depression to the beginning of t

he runway is 31 degrees. The angle of depression to the end of the runway is 23 degrees. What is the length of the runway? Round to the nearest tenth of a kilometer.

Answer:

The answer is a

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from the near end of the runway to the plane, divided by the altitude is the tangent of (90 degrees minus the angle of depression). Let "d1" be the distance to the near end of the runway, and "d2" be the distance to the far end of the runway. Let "a" be the altitude of the plane.


d1/a = tan(90 - 31)


d1 = a*tan(90 - 31)


d2/a = tan(90 - 23)


d2 = a*tan(90 - 23)


runway length = d2 - d1 = a*(tan(67) - tan(59))


length = 1800*(.6916) = 1245m = 1.2km


the answer is "a"

The p-value for a two-sided test of the null hypothesis H0: μ = 10 is 0.06.(a) Would a 95% confidence interval for μ include the
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

a) Yes b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the p value for a two-sided test of the null hypothesis H0: μ = 10

is 0.06

a) p value = 0.06.\\Confidence level = 95%\\Significance level = 100-95 = 5%\\Alpha = 0.05\\\\p  \geq \alpha is true

Hence we accept null hypothesis

This implies that 10 will be within the confidence interval of 95%

b) If confidence level = 90%

\alpha = 0.10\\p value = 0.06\\p \leq 0.10

So we have to reject null hypothesis.

So we do not have 10 in the confidence interval

The reason is the lower the confidence level, the narrower the confidence interval.  In this case, 10 has gone outside the narrower interval hence we get this.

Jack can run a mile in 9, 1/3 minutes. How long will it take for him to run 3, 1/2 miles?
BARSIC [14]
If you turn 9 1/3 in to a decimal and 3 1/2 in a decimal also 

9 1/3 = 9.3 and 3 1/2 =3.5 
9.3+3.5 =12.8 
12.8=12 4/5
