Answer:

26.2655 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever possible, draw a diagram. I've attached a picture of the balloon and the lines of depression (not drawn to scale, of course).

As you can see, the angles of depression form alternate interior angles with the ground (angles of elevation). So these angles are also 13° and 39°.

We can use the tangents of these angles to find the base lengths of the two triangles that are formed.

tan 13° = 4 / a

a = 4 / tan 13°

tan 39° = 4 / b

b = 4 / tan 39°

So the total distance is:

a + b

= 4 / tan 13° + 4 / tan 39°

≈ 22.2655

(1 point) A pond contains 100 fish, of which 40 are carp. If 20 fish are caught from the lake, what are the mean and variance of

marta [7]

Answer:

E(X) = 6

Var(X) = 3.394

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the number of carp caught out of the 20 fishes caught. Now, if we are to assume that each

of the (100, 20) ways to catch the 20 fishes will be equally likely.

Thus, we can say that X fulfills a hypergeometric

distribution with parameters as follows;

n = 20, N = 100, k = 30

Formula for expected mean value in hypergeometric distribution is;

E(X) = nk/N

E(X) = (20 × 30)/100

E(X) = 6

Formula for variance is;

Var(X) = (nk/N) × [((n - 1)(k - 1)/(N-1))) + (1 - nk/N)]

Var(X) = ((20 × 30)/100) × [((20 - 1)(30 - 1)/(100 - 1)) + (1 - (20 × 30/100)]

Var(X) = 6 × 0.5657

Var(X) = 3.394

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9/2 is the slope. Slope defines how steep is the straight line.

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x

In this model, 9 refers to the vertical distance between two points

and 2 refers to the horizontal distance between two points.

9/2 is a positive slope. It indicates that if 'x' increases, y also increase.

Hello!

3.50 + 0.15 = 3.65

Because both items would cost $3.50 together, Maranda will be eligible to buy them both and stay within her budget of $5.00.
