Answer:

Marina, Wuhan center, Zifeng Tower , Shangai Tower

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z-scores of the Shangai tower and the Marina, we can calculate their heights

Mathematically, the z-score or standard score can be calculated as follows

Zscore =  X - μ/σ

where σ and μ represents the standard deviation and the population mean respectively.

For Shaghai Tower ;

1.27 = (X - 1667.25)/318.31

318.31 × 1.27 = X - 1667.25

404.25 = X - 1667.25

X = 1667.25 + 404.25 = 2071.50

The height of the Shaghai Tower is 2071.50 feet

For Marina, we use the same procedure;

-0.84 = (X - 1667.25)/318.31

318.31 × -0.84 = X - 1667.25

-267.38 = X - 1667.25

X = 1667.25 - 267.38 = 1399.87

The height of Marina building is 1399.87

Listing the buildings' height in ascending order we have; Marina, Wuhan center, Zifeng Tower , Shangai Tower

The reasoning behind this can be mathematically explained in terms of the z-score. The standard score of the heights of the building give us an insight as to how tall the buildings can be.

Since they are in the same population i.e building heights, the higher the z-score, the higher the height of the building. A positive z-score indicates a height taller than the average while a negative z-score indicate a height lower than the average height which is the mean

Angle 4 is 108 because it is vertical to angle 2 so they are equal, angle 1 is 72 because it is a straight angle to angle 4 (or 2) which means when the angles are added together, they equal 180, and then angle 3 would also be 72 because it is also a straight angle with angle 4 (or 2) for the same reason (you could also say angle 3 is a vertical to angle 1 and that’s why they are equal)

For an online educational clip, 80 percent of the first 240 viewers voted “like” for the clip. If all of the next 80 viewers vot
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: There is 85% of all these viewers voted "like".

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of first viewers  = 240

Percentage of first viewers who voted "like" for the clip = 80%

Number of people who voted "like" for the clip =

\dfrac{80}{100}\times 240\\\\=0.8\times 240\\\\=192

Number of next viewers = 80

total number of viewers = 240+80 = 320

Number of viewers who voted "like" for the clip = 80

Total number of viewers who voted "like" for the clip = 192+80=272

So, overall percentage of viewers voted "like" is given by

\dfrac{272}{320}\times 100\\\\=85\%

Hence, there is 85% of all these viewers voted "like".

On a piece of paper, use a protractor and a ruler to construct △ABC with AB=4 in. , AC=4 in. , and m∠A=60° . Which statement is
Fed [463]

Answer: B) BC=4 in.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In △ABC , AB=4 inch ,AC=4 in. , and m∠A=60°

⇒ AB=AC= 4 inches

⇒ △ABC is an isosceles triangle.

⇒ m∠A=60°=m∠B   [angles opposite to the equal sides of a triangle are equal]

Now by angle sum property,

m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=180°

⇒60°+60°+m∠C=180°

⇒ m∠C=180°-120°

⇒ m∠C=60°

⇒ △ABC is an equilateral triangle.

⇒ BC= 4 inches [sides of an equilateral triangles are equal]

⇒ B is the right answer.
