A youth group is setting up camp. Rain is predicted, so the campers decide to build a fly, or rain cover, over their tent. The f

ly will be 12 feet high and 16 feet wide. The scouts are building the frame for the fly with two poles slanted and joined together at the top of the tent. What is the minimum length of the slanted poles needed to support the fly?

Most of the information's required for finding the answer is already given in the question. 
Height of the fly = 12 feet
Width of the fly = 16 feet
Now we can find the length of the poles using Pythagoras theorem.

Length of the poles = square root [(12)^2 + (8)^2]
                               = square root (144 + 64)
                               = square root (208)
                               = 14.4 feet
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the height of the poles needed to be 14.4 feet. I hope the answer has helped you.

mr_godi [17]

The distance between the boat and the ocean's floor is 19m

<h3>How to get the distance from the ship to the ocean's floor?</h3>

We can see this as a right triangle, where the rope with the anchor is the hypotenuse. So we already know that the hypotenuse measures 30m.

We also know an angle, it measures 39°, and we want to get the opposite cathetus to said angle (the height).

Then we use the relation:

Sin(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse).

Replacing the values that we know, we get:

Sin(39°) = d/30m

sin(39°)*30m = d = 18.9m ≈ 19m

The distance between the boat and the ocean's floor is 19m.

.For small training sets variance may contribute more to the overall error than bias. Sometimes this is handled by reducing the
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Bias is the difference between the average prediction of our model and the correct value which we are trying to predict and variance is the variability of model prediction for a given data p[oint or a value which tells us the spread of our data the variance perform very well on training data but has high error rates on test data on the other hand if our model has small training sets then it's going to have smaller variance & & high bias and its contribute more to the overall error than bias. If our model is too simple and has very few parameters then it may have high bias and low variable. As the model go this is conceptually trivial and is much simpler than what people commonly envision when they think of modelling but it helps us to clearly illustrate the difference bewteen bias & variance.
