Answer:

39.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Let AB is the height of the tree and CD is the height of the council arborist.

So, we have to determine AB while CD is given to be 1.8 m.

If the position of the sun at the time is such that the inclination of ray of light is x Degrees, then the shadow of the arborist is CE = 1.5 m and the shadow of the tree is AE = 33 m {Given}

As Δ ABE and Δ CDE are similar triangles, so, we can write

\frac{AB}{CD} = \frac{AE}{CE}

⇒ \frac{y }{1.8} = \frac{33}{1.5}

⇒ y = 39.6 m

Hence, the height of the tree is 39.6 m. (Answer)

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

0.12 -1.96*0.013= 0.094

0.12 +1.96*0.013= 0.146

And the best option would be:

0.094 to 0.146

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

\hat p=0.12 represent the proportion estimated

SE = 0.013 represent the standard error

Confidence =0.95 represent the confidence level

The confidence interval for the true proportion is given by:

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} SE

And for 95% of confidence the critical value is z_{\alpha/2}= 1.96 and replacing we got:

0.12 -1.96*0.013= 0.094

0.12 +1.96*0.013= 0.146

And the best option would be:

0.094 to 0.146
