The given question describes a right triangle with with one of the angles as 20 degrees and the side adjacent to the angle 20 degrees is of length 5,000 feet. We are looking for the length of the side opposite the angle 20 degrees.

Let the required length be x, then

\tan{20^o}=\cfrac{opp}{hyp}=\cfrac{x}{5,000}\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=5,000\tan{20^o}=1,819.85

Therefore, the height of the airplane above the tower is 1,819.85 feet.

Answer:

y \approx 1819.851\,ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical distance between the airplane and the traffic control tower is obtained by means of the following trigonometric relation:

y = x \cdot \tan \theta

y = (5000\,ft)\cdot \tan 20^{\textdegree}

y \approx 1819.851\,ft

9966 [12]

Answer:

A) 0.1636

B) 0.7292

C) 0.0305

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution question that follows;

P(X = x) = nCx × p^(x) × q^(n - x)

In this case, p = 64% = 0.64

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.64 = 0.36

Thus;

A) P(exactly 5) = P(5) = 10C5 × 0.64^(5) × 0.36^(10 - 5) = 0.1636

B) P(at least 6) = P(x ≥ 6) = P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

P(6) = 10C6 × (0.64^(6)) × (0.36^(10 - 6)) = 0.2424

P(7) = 10C7 × (0.64^(7)) × (0.36^(10 - 7)) = 0.2462

P(8) = 10C8 × (0.64^(8)) × (0.36^(10 - 8)) = 0.1642

P(9) = 10C9 × (0.64^(9)) × (0.36^(10 - 9)) = 0.0649

P(10) = 10C10 × (0.64^(10)) × (0.36^(10 - 10)) = 0.0115

Thus;

P(x ≥ 6) = 0.2424 + 0.2462 + 0.1642 + 0.0649 + 0.0115

P(x ≥ 6) = 0.7292

C) P(x < 4) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)

From online binomial probability calculator, we have;

P(x < 4) = 0.0305
