Answer:

21.276 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

For the two angle of depressions one at the top of mast and other at the base will provide two distinct equation is terms of distance between the ship and lighthouse.

Let the distance between the ship and lighthouse be represented by X

y be the vertical distance above height of ship i.e 9 meters.

Equation 1

tan 45 = \frac{Y + 9}{X}

or

Y = X tan 45 - 9

Second equation

tan 30 = \frac{Y}{X} \\

Or

Y = X tan 30

Equating both the equation 1 and 2 we get -

X tan 30 = X tan 45 - 9\\X tan45 - X tan 30 = 9\\X * 1 - X * 0.577 = 9\\0.423 X = 9\\X = 21.276

A study was done to determine the average number of homes that a homeowner owns in his or her lifetime. For the 60 homeowners su
const2013 [10]

Answer:

D) (3.67, 4.73)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetimecan be calculated using M±ME where

  • M is the average number of home owned (4.2)
  • ME is the margin of error from the mean

And margin of error (ME) can be calculated as

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in the given confidence level(1.96)
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample(2.1)
  • N is the sample size (60)

Putting the numbers we get ME=\frac{1.96*2.1}{\sqrt{60} }≈0.53

Then the 95% confidence interval is 4.2±0.53 or (3.67, 4.73)
