Answer:

The height of the tower is 196 feet .

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the pythagoream theorem

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

As given

A 200 foot wire is attached from the top of a tower to a point on the ground 40 feet from the base of the tower.

As the diagram is given below .

Hypotenuse= AB = 200 feet

Base = CB = 40 feet

Perpendicular = AC

Put all the value in the above

200² = 40² + AC²

40000 = 1600 + AC²

AC² = 40000 - 1600

AC² = 38400

AC = √38400

AC = 196 feet (Approx)

Therefore the height of the tower is 196 feet .

Option (C) is correct .

200^2 = 40^2 + b^2
40000 = 1600 + b^2
38400 = b^2
b = 196 ft (c)

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean.

By considering the given information , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0: \mu=73.4

Alternative hypothesis :  H_a: \mu>73.4

Since alternative hypothesis is right-tailed , so the test is a right-tailed test.

Given : Sample size : n=16 , which is a small sample , so we use t-test.

Sample mean: \overline{x}=78.3  ;

Standard deviation: s=8.4

Test statistic for population mean:

t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

i.e. t=\dfrac{78.3-73.4}{\dfrac{8.4}{\sqrt{16}}}\approx2.333

Using the standard normal distribution table of t , we have

Critical value for \alpha=0.01 : t_{(n-1,\alpha)}=t_{(15,0.01)}=2.602

Since , the absolute value of t (2.333) is smaller than the critical value of t (2.602) , it means we do not have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, we conclude that we do not have enough evidence to support the claim that answering questions while studying produce significantly higher exam scores.

What are the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the following true conditional? What are the truth values of each?
ser-zykov [4K]
<span>In logic, the converse of a conditional statement is the result of reversing its two parts. For example, the statement P → Q, has the converse of Q → P.

For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the converse is 'if a figure is a parallelogram, then it is rectangle.'
As can be seen, the converse statement is not true, hence the truth value of the converse statement is false.
</span>
The inverse of a conditional statement is the result of negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statement. For example, the inverse of P <span>→ Q is ~P </span><span>→ ~Q.
</span><span><span>For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the inverse is 'if a figure is not a rectangle, then it is not a parallelogram.'
As can be seen, the inverse statement is not true, hence the truth value of the inverse statement is false.</span>
</span>
The contrapositive of a conditional statement is switching the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statement and negating both. For example, the contrapositive of <span>P → Q is ~Q → ~P. </span>
<span><span>For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the contrapositive is 'if a figure is not a parallelogram, then it is not a rectangle.'
As can be seen, the contrapositive statement is true, hence the truth value of the contrapositive statement is true.</span> </span>
