Answer:
\mu = 14.5\\
\sigma = 5.071\\
k = 1.084
Step-by-step explanation:
given that a statistician uses Chebyshev's Theorem to estimate that at least 15 % of a population lies between the values 9 and 20.
i.e. his findings with respect to probability are
Recall Chebyshev's inequality that
Comparing with the Ii equation which is appropriate here we find that
Next what we find is
Thus from the given information we find that
Answer:
10.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we have two similar triangles:
- One consists of the mailbox, its shadow and the hypothenuse
- The other one consists of the tree, its shadow and the hypothenuse
The two triangles are similar, so they have same proportions between their sides: therefore, we can apply the rule of three:
where
m = 36 in is the height of the mailbox
is the shadow of the mailbox
t is the height of the tree
is the length of the shadow of the tree
Solving for t, we find the height of the tree:
And since
1 feet = 12 inches
The height of the tree in feet is
