Answer:

25.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are solving a right angled triangle.

We are the Trigonometric function of Tangent

tan θ = Opposite side/Adjacent

Angle of Elevation = θ = 34°

Opposite side = Height

Adjacent = 30 feet

tan 34° = Opposite side/30 feet.

Opposite side = tan 34° × 30 feet

Opposite side = 20.235255505 feet

The height of the light house =

Opposite side(height) + Amelia's height

20.235255505 feet + 5.5 feet

= 25.735255505 feet

Approximately to the nearest tenth ≈ 25.7 feet

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

A sample size of 6755 or higher would be appropriate.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error M is given by:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

52% of Independents in the sample opposed the public option.

This means that p = 0.52

If we wanted to estimate this number to within 1% with 90% confidence, what would be an appropriate sample size?

Sample size of size n or higher when M = 0.01. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.01 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.52*0.48}{n}}

0.01\sqrt{n} = 0.8218

\sqrt{n} = \frac{0.8218}{0.01}

\sqrt{n} = 82.18

\sqrt{n}^{2} = (82.18)^{2}

n = 6754.2

A sample size of 6755 or higher would be appropriate.

A store sells toys in bulk. It sells wooden blocks for $5 a pound and plastic bricks for $10 a pound. How many pounds of wooden
mart [117]

Answer: 4 pounds of wooden blocks and 6 pounds of plastic bricks should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Quantity of wooden blocks.

y = Quantity of plastic bricks.

As per given , we ahve

5x+10y=80        (i)

x+y=10     (ii)

Multiply 5 on both sides of (ii), we get

5x+5y=50   (iii)

Eliminate (i) from (iii), we get

5y=30

⇒ y= 6

Put y=6 in (ii), we get

x+6=10

⇒ x= 10-6= 4

Hence, 4 pounds of wooden blocks and 6 pounds of plastic bricks should be used.
