<u>Given:</u>

It is given that the ridge is 360 inches tall.

<u>Assumptions:</u>

Assume you are 170.1 cm tall which equals 67 inches tall, the height from your eye to the floor is 360+67 = 427 inches.

The distance from your eye level to the bottom of the ridge is 427 inches.

Assume the angle A is 60°.

<u>To find the distance from you to your dog.</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

A right-angled triangle can be formed where the angle is 60°, the distance between you and the dog is the hypotenuse of the triangle and your height from the floor is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x inches.

To determine the length of the hypotenuse, we determine the cos of the angle.

cos \theta = \frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse} .

cos A = \frac{427}{x} , x = \frac{427}{cos60} , cos60=0.5.

x=\frac{427}{0.5} = 854.

So if the ridge is 360 inches tall and you are 67 inches tall and the angle A is 60°, the distance between your dog and you is 854 inches.

When testing a hypothesis about a single mean, a sample size of 200 is selected from a normally distributed population. If the p
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq \mu_o  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > \mu_o  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X represent the sample mean

\sigma represent the population standard deviation for the sample  

n=200 sample size  

\mu_o represent the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is equal to \mu_o, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq \mu_o  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > \mu_o  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".
