The ratio of the triangle is 55/1.1, which is 50/1.

This means that the building is 50/1 = x/5

x = 250

The office building is 250 m tall.

Trials in an experiment with a polygraph include results that include cases of wrong results and cases of correct results. Use a
hram777 [196]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

This is a complete question

Trials in an experiment with a polygraph include 97 results that include 23 cases of wrong results and 74 cases of correct results. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that such polygraph results are correct less than 80​% of the time. Identify the null​hypothesis, alternative​ hypothesis, test​ statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null​ hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the​ P-value method. Use the normal distribution as an approximation of the binomial distribution.

The computation is shown below:

The null and alternative hypothesis is

H_0 : p = 0.80

Ha : p < 0.80

\hat p = \frac{x}{ n} \\\\= \frac{74}{97}

= 0.7629

Now Test statistic = z

= \hat p - P0 / [\sqrtP0 \times (1 - P0 ) / n]

= 0.7629 - 0.80 / [\sqrt(0.80 \times 0.20) / 97]

= -0.91

Now

P-value = 0.1804

\alpha = 0.01

P-value > \alpha

So, it is Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

There is ample evidence to demonstrate that less than 80 percent of the time reports that these polygraph findings are accurate.

A fence must be built to enclose a rectangular area of 20,000 ft^2. Fencing material costs $4 per foot for the two sides facing
Marysya12 [62]

The cost of the least expensive fence is $3200

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • A fence must be built to enclose a rectangular area of 20,000 ft²
  • Fencing material costs $4 per foot for the two sides facing north and south and ​$8 per foot for the other two sides

We need to find the cost of the least expensive fence

Assume that the length of each side opposite to North or South is x feet and the length of each other sides  is y feet

∵ The length of the rectangle = x feet

∵ The width of the rectangle = y feet

∵ The rectangular area is 20,000 ft²

- Area of a rectangle = length × width

∴ x × y = 20,000

- Divide both sides by x to find y in terms of x

∴ y=\frac{20,000}{x}

The fence's length is equal to the perimeter of the rectangular area

∵ Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 length + 2 width

∴ Perimeter of the rectangle = 2x + 2y

∵ Fencing material costs $4 per foot for the two sides facing

   North and South

∴ x costs $4 per foot

∵ The cost of the other two sides is $8 per foot

∴ y costs $8 per feet

The cost of the fence is the sum of the products of 4 , 2x and 8 , 2y

∵ The cost of the fence (C) = 4(2x) + 8(2y)

∴ C = 8x + 16y

- Substitute y by its value above

∴ C=8x+16(\frac{20,000}{x})

∴ C=8x+\frac{320,000}{x}

To find the least expensive differentiate C with respect to x and equate the answer by 0 to find the value of x

∵ \frac{320,000}{x} can be written as 320,000x^{-1}

∴ C=8x+320,000x^{-1}

∵ \frac{dC}{dx}=8(1)x^{1-1}+320,000(-1)x^{-1-1}

∴ \frac{dC}{dx}=8-320,000x^{-2}

- Equate \frac{dC}{dx} by zero

∴ 8-320,000x^{-2}=0

∵ -320,000x^{-2}=-\frac{320,000}{x^{2}}

∴ 8-\frac{320,000}{x^{2}}=0

- Subtract 8 from both sides

∴ -\frac{320,000}{x^{2}}=-8

- Multiply both sides by x²

∴ - 320,000 = - 8x²

- Divide both sides by -8

∴ 40,000 = x²

- Take √  for both sides

∴ 200 = x

Substitute x in the equation of C to find the least cost of fence

∵ C=8(200)+\frac{320,000}{(200)}

∴ C = 1600 + 1600

∴ C = 3200

The cost of the least expensive fence is $3200
