Solution:
use the trigonometric function which is tangent
tangent is equal to opposite/hypotenuse
the angle is 11 degrees
28 foot will be your opposite
your hypotenuse is the missing

tan(11 degrees)=28 foot/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse= [28 foot/ (tan 11 degrees)]
hypotenuse = 98.8 feet

1. A catering company’s recipe for salad uses a ratio of 2 c of dressing to 4 lb of vegetables. (a) Draw a model for the ratio.
IRISSAK [1]
1. ratio = 2 c of dressing / 4 lb of vegetables

Use two variables: d for the number of c of dressing and v for the number of pounds of vegetables.

Then d / v = 2/4 = 1/2 => d = v/2

Now you can make a table

v     d  

2    1

4    2

6    3

8    2

And you can draw a line for the points (2,1); (4,2); (6,3), (8,4) ... the slope of the graph is the ratio = 1/2

b) I already did it above as part ot the explanation: d/v = 1/2

The playing time X of jazz CDs has the normal distribution with mean 52 and standard deviation 7; N(52, 7).
natita [175]

Answer:

68% of jazz CDs play between 45 and 59 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The correct question is:</u> The playing time X of jazz CDs has the normal distribution with mean 52 and standard deviation 7; N(52, 7).

According to the 68-95-99.7 rule, what percentage of jazz CDs play between 45 and 59 minutes?

Let X = <u>playing time of jazz CDs</u>

SO, X ~ Normal(\mu=52, \sigma^{2} =7)

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                                    Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

Now, according to the 68-95-99.7 rule, it is stated that;

  • 68% of the data values lie within one standard deviation points from the mean.
  • 95% of the data values lie within two standard deviation points from the mean.
  • 99.7% of the data values lie within three standard deviation points from the mean.

Here, we have to find the percentage of jazz CDs play between 45 and 59 minutes;

   For 45 minutes, z-score is =  \frac{45-52}{7}  = -1

   For 59 minutes, z-score is =  \frac{59-52}{7}  = 1

This means that our data values lie within 1 standard deviation points, so it is stated that 68% of jazz CDs play between 45 and 59 minutes.

Think of it as two rectangular prisms next to each other, and find the volume of each one separately.

The big one on the left has a volume of 4 * 12 * 6, or 288.

The smaller one on the right has a volume of 2 * 6 * 6, or 72.

288 + 72 = 360. 360 cubic feet of water are needed.
