Answer: OPTION D

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this exercise you must use the formula for calculate the distance  between two points, which is shown below:

d_{(A,B)}=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Now, you must substitute the points given in the problem into the formula:

A(-2,-4)

B(-8,4)

d_{(A,B)}=\sqrt{(-8-(-2))^2+(4-(-4))^2}

Then, the result is:

d_{(A,B)}=10units

Answer:

Choice D is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given two points.

A = (-2, -4) and B = (-8, 4)

We have to find length of AB.

We use distance formula to find distance between two points.

d = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

Let A = (x₁,y₁) = (-2, -4) and B = (x₂,y₂) =  (-8, 4)

Putting above values in formula, we have

d = √(-8-(-2))²+(4-(-4))²

d = √(-8+2)²+(4+4)²

d = √(-6)²+(8)²

d = √36+64

d = √100

d = 10 units

Hence , The length of AB is 10 units.

Answer: the distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse is 290.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The right angle triangle ABC representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.

Angle A is alternate to the angle of depression, hence, they are the same.

The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance, x of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine x, we would apply

the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 11.1 = 57/x

x = 57/Tan 11.1 = 57/0.1962

x = 290.5 feet to the nearest tenth.

Inferential statistical tests are used for all of the following except: a. describing a sample with means and standard deviation
Anika [276]

Answer:

a. Describing a sample with mean and standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statistics can be categorized into descriptive and inferential statistics.

descriptive statistics uses data for descriptions through numerical analysis. It can be further divided in four parts.

  • Measures of Central Tendency ( Mean, Median, and Mode)
  • Measures of Frequency (Count, Percent, Frequency)
  • Measures of Position (Percentile Ranks, Quartile Ranks.)
  • Measures of Dispersion ( Range, Standard Deviation)

Inferential statistics however is based on assumptions and conclusions and generalizations drawn from samples or checks.

options b to d are all examples of inferential statistics while option a is an example of descriptive statistics.
