Answer:

  35°

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between trig functions and sides of a right triangle. The pole and its shadow form the legs of the right triangle with the side adjacent to the angle of elevation being the shadow. "TOA" tells you ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(elevation angle) = (pole height)/(shadow length)

  tan(elevation angle) = 35/50 = 0.7

The inverse tangent function, arctan( ) or tan⁻¹( ), is used to find the angle from the value of its tangent.

  elevation angle = arctan(0.7) ≈ 34.99° ≈ 35°

O DATA ANALYSIS AND STATISTICS Outcomes and event probability A number cube is rolled three times. An outcome is represented by
Simora [160]

ANSWER

EXPLANATION

For each of the three events, there are 8 possible outcomes, so the probability of each event is,

P(event)=\frac{favorable\text{ }outcomes}{possible\text{ }outcomes}=\frac{favorable\text{ }outcomes}{8}

• Event A:, there must be only odd numbers in the last two rolls, which are either ,EOO or OOO,. This event has 2 favorable outcomes, ,so its probability is 1/4,.

,

• Event B,: this is the complementary event to event A. Here the last two rolls must be even numbers - both or only one of the last two: ,OOE, EEO, EOE, OEE, EEE, OEO,. This event has 6 favorable outcomes, so ,its probability is 3/4,.

,

• Event C,: this event is when the first and last rolls are even numbers in the same event. This is either ,EOE or EEE,. Since this event has 2 favorable outcomes, ,its probability is 1/4,.
