Suppose you were considering going bungee jumping, but would only go if the mean breaking strength of the cord was greater than

250 pounds. If the mean breaking strength of the cord is greater than 250 pounds, the bungee cord will not break. What would be the Type II error for this problem?

Answer:

Type II error will occur when we conclude that the mean breaking strength of the cord is smaller than or equal to 250 pounds but in actual it was not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that you are considering going bungee jumping, but would only go if the mean breaking strength of the cord was greater than 250 pounds.

If the mean breaking strength of the cord is greater than 250 pounds, the bungee cord will not break.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = mean breaking strength of the cord</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 250 pounds  

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 250 pounds

Here, null hypothesis states that the mean breaking strength of the cord was smaller than or equal to 250 pounds.

On the other hand, alternate hypothesis states that the mean breaking strength of the cord was greater than 250 pounds.

Now, Type II error states the Probability of accepting null hypothesis given the fact that it was false or Probability of accepting the false hypothesis.

SO, <u>according to our question, Type II error </u>will occur when we conclude that the mean breaking strength of the cord is smaller than or equal to 250 pounds but in actual it was not true and he mean breaking strength of the cord was greater than 250 pounds.

Answer:

  80.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable trig function is the tangent.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

In this scenario, the side opposite the angle is the tower height, 324 m. The side adjacent is the distance to the tower, 54 m. Then the angle α is related by ...

  tan(α) = 324/54

The value of the angle with this tangent is found using the arctangent function:

  α = arctan(324/54) ≈ 80.5°

She should set her binoculars to 80.5°.

A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a level plain. From one point on the plain, they observe that
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

5507.79 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the mountain, we can draw triangles as in the image attached.

Let's call the height of the mountain 'h', and the distance from the first point (31 degrees) to the mountain 'x'.

Then, we can use the tangent relation of the angles:

tan(34) = h/x

tan(31) = h/(x+1000)

tan(31) is equal to 0.6009, and tan(34) is equal to 0.6745, so:

h/x = 0.6745 -> x = h/0.6745

using this value of x in the second equation:

h/(x+1000) = 0.6009

h/(h/0.6745 + 1000) = 0.6009

h = 0.6009 * (h/0.6745 + 1000)

h = 0.8909*h + 600.9

0.1091h = 600.9

h = 600.9 / 0.1091 = 5507.79 feet
