Answer:
D. 914 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the distance that a person can see on a clear day from the upper observation platform of the Eiffel tower in Paris. We are then required to estimate the height of the upper observation platform using the formula;
Where d is the distance and h the height of the upper observation platform. The first step would be to solve for h, that is make h the subject of the formula in the above equation;
We multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/6 which is 6/5;
The next step is to eliminate the square root on the Left Hand Side of the equation by squaring both sides;
Given d is 25.2, h becomes;
To the nearest whole number, h becomes 914

Oleg, Sasha, and Dima shared 600 toys. Sasha had twice as many toys as Oleg. Dima had 40 more toys than Oleg.
Let the number of toys Oleg has = x
Let the number of toys Sasha has = y
Let the number of toys Dima has = z
Sasha had twice as many toys as Oleg
So y = 2*x= 2x
Dima had 40 more toys than Oleg.
z = x + 40
Oleg, Sasha, and Dima shared 600 toys
x + y + z= 600
We know y=2x and z=x+40
Replace it for y and z
Subtract 40 on both sides
Divide by 4 on both sides
Oleg had 140 toys
As your testing H0:p=0.79, then you have a two-tailed test.
The p-value at two-tailed test is given by:
Then, you need to check into the standard normal cumulative table to find at which -z you do have a probability of 0.395. Thus:
As you can see in the picture at z=-0.26 you have a P(Z<=-z)=0.3974
And at z=-0.27 you have a P(Z<=-z)=0.3936.
The average of these values is:
Then, you have a probability of 0.395 at a z of:
Then -z=-0.27, thus z=0.27
now, this is pretty much the same as the one before it with Jaime, so I'll do this without much fuss.
