A blimp is 1500 meters high in the air and measures the angles of depression to two stadiums to the west of the blimp. If those

measurements are 72.9 degrees and 34.1 degrees how far are the two stadiums to the nearest meter?

Let stadium 1 be the one on the left and stadium 2 the one on the right.

Angle above stadium 1 is 72.9° and the angle above stadium 2 is 34.1° using the angle property of alternate angles(because both the ground and the dotted line are parallel).

For the next part we need to use the trigonometric function of tangent.

As tan x = opposite / adjacent,
Tan 72.9°=1500/ adjacent ( the ground from O to stadium 1)

Therefore the adjacent is 1500/tan 72.9°= 461.46 m( to 5 s.f.)

Same for the next angle,
Tan 34.1°=1500/ adjacent ( the ground from O to stadium 2)

Therefore, the adjacent is 1500/tan 34.1° = 2215.49 m (to 5 s.f.)

Thus, the distance between both stadiums is 2215.49-461.46= 1754.03 m

Correcting the answer to whole number gives you 1754 m which is the option C.

Determine whether the following statement regarding the hypothesistest for two population proportions is true or false.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p1 be the population proportion for the first population

and p2 be the population proportion for the second population

Then

H_{0} p1  = p2

H_{a} p1 ≠ p2

Test statistic can be found usin the equation:

z=\frac{p1-p2}{\sqrt{{p*(1-p)*(\frac{1}{n1} +\frac{1}{n2}) }}} where

  • p1 is the sample population proportion for the first population
  • p2 is the sample population proportion for the second population
  • p is the pool proportion of p1 and p2
  • n1 is the sample size of the first population
  • n2 is the sample size of the second population.

As |p1-p2| gets smaller, the value of the <em>test statistic</em> gets smaller. Thus the probability of its being extreme gets smaller. This means its p-value gets higher.

As the<em> p-value</em> gets higher, the null hypothesis is less likely be rejected.

A short-course meter pool is 25 meters long. A short-course yard pool is 25 yards long. Which one is longer and by how much (in
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

short course meter pool and its longer by 7.021 feet or 7.02 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

if you do 25 yards times 3 you get 75ft and if you covert 25 meters into ft you get 82.021 so sutract 82.02-75=7.02. Hope this helps ;-)
