Answer:

555 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

aee the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

tan(78^o)=\frac{AB}{BC} ----> by TOA (oppsoite side divided by the adjacent side)

substitute the given values

tan(78^o)=\frac{h}{118}

solve for h

h=tan(78^o)(118)=555\ ft

Toothbrushes are $4.00 each. there is a 10% discount but also 6% sales tax. What is the new price?
Katena32 [7]
Multiply 4 by 10%.
10% ⇒ 0.1

4 × 0.1 = 0.4
Subtract 0.4 from 4.
4 - 0.4 = 3.6 (price with discount)

Multiply 3.6 by 6%.
6% ⇒ 0.06
3.6 × 0.06 = 0.216

Add 0.216 to 3.6.
0.216 + 3.6 = 3.816

Round 3.816 to the hundredths.
3.816 ⇒ 3.82 (price with tax)

The new price of toothbrushes is $3.82.

A local bakary has determined a probability distribution for the number of cheesecakes that they sell in a given day:
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The pdf of  the number of cheesecakes that they sell in a given day: by a bakery are as follows:

X     0         5       10      15     20

P    0.25    0.47   0.12   k     0.15

Use total prob =1, to find k .  

k = 0.01

a)  the probability of selling 15 cheesecakes in a given day = 0.01

b. What is the probability of selling at least 10 cheesecakes =P(X≥10)

= 0.28

c.  the probability of selling 5 or 15 chassescakes P(5)++P(15)=0.48

d.  the probaility of selling 25 cheesecakes = 0

e. Give the expected number of cheesecakes sold in a day using the discrete probability distribution?

=\Sigma x_i p_i\\=0+2.35+1.2+0.15+3\\=6.7

f. the probability of selling at most 10 cheesecakes

=P(X≤10)

= 0.84
