Answer:

a) 125.865 ft

b) 321.676 ft

c) 195.811 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The height of the building, H = 150 ft

- The angle of elevation ( friend - top of building ), θ1 = 50°

- The angle of elevation ( zombie - top of building ), θ2 = 25°

Find:-

a) How far away is your friend from the building

b) How far away is the zombie from the building

c) How far away is the zombie from your friend

Solution:-

- We will consider the two right angle triangles with similar height ( H ) which denotes the height of the building.

- The distance your friend is from the building is ( x1 ) and looks up to the top of the building with angle of elevation of ( θ1 ).

- We can apply the trigonometric ratio for the right angle triangle formed between your friend, foot of the building and you ( on top of the building ):

                    tan ( θ1 ) = H / x1

                    x1 = H / tan ( θ1 )

                    x1 = 150 / tan ( 50° )

                    x1 = 125.865 ft    ... Answer ( a )

- The distance zombie is from the building is ( x2 ) and looks up to the top of the building with angle of elevation of ( θ2 ).

- Similarly, apply the appropriate trigonometric ratio for the right angle triangle formed between zombie, foot of the building and you ( on top of the building ):

                    tan ( θ2 ) = H / x2

                    x2 = H / tan ( θ2 )

                    x2 = 150 / tan ( 25° )

                    x2 = 321.676 ft    ... Answer ( b )    

- The distance between your friend and the zombie ( s ) can now be determined from subtracting the distance of your friend from the building from distance of the zombie from the building:

                    s = x2 - x1

                    s = 321.676 - 125.865

                    s =  195.811 ft    ... Answer ( c )

Nerissa paid a total of $8 for 4 packs of pencils she purchased from the convenience store. Let p represent the cost of one pack
BARSIC [14]

Answer: 4*p=8

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>You can use inverse operation to answer this equation.</em>

  • <em>write out you problem: 4 x p =8</em>
  • <em>The inverse of multiplication is division</em>
  • <em>you do 4/4 which gives you one but the 4 will cancel itself out</em>
  • <em>Do 8/4 which gives you 2</em>
  • <em>under the equation write p = 2</em>
  • <em>And be sure to line the p up with the p, the equal sign with the equal sign, and  the 2  stays where it is ( which should be already lined up with the 8)</em>

23 20' 48" is the same as _____. Round to the nearest hundredth of a degree.
boyakko [2]
So this is read as 23 degrees, 20 minutes, and 48 seconds.  Each degree has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds, somewhat like time.  You must start from right to left for this to work.  This may seem complicated but the way to find this is as follows:  
23+(20+(48/60))/60.  A simpler way to see this is by first taking 48/60 which is .8.  Now you take 20+.8 which is 20.8 and you divide it by 60 once more.  This comes out to be approximately .35.  Now you have converted the seconds and minutes to degrees so you add 23+.35 which is 23.35.  Therefore your answer is 23.35 degrees.

In the following hypothetical scenarios, classify each of the specified numbers as a parameter or a statistic.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter is a valuable element of statistical analysis. It denotes the characteristics that are used to define a given population. It is used to define a particular attribute of the population. For instance, population mean, population standard deviation, population proportion and so on.

While making a statistical conclusion about the population under study, the parameter value is unknown. This is because it would not be possible to gather data from every single member of the population. So a sample is selected from the population to derive a conclusion about the parameter.

A statistic is the value of the characteristics that are computed using this sample. For instance, sample mean, sample standard deviation, sample proportion and so on.

(a)

There have been 44 Presidents of the United States, and 36% of them were Democrats. The 36% here is a <u>parameter</u>.

(b)

In a 2015 Gallup poll of 1025 adults living in the United States, 53% said they trust the judicial branch of the federal government. The 53% here is a <u>statistic</u>.

(c)

The survey results from 12 local parks show the mean height of 60 ft for mature oak trees. The mean height of 60 ft is a <u>statistic</u>.

(d)

The 72 employees at ABC company have a mean income of $52,317 with a standard deviation of $36,829. The $36,829 is a <u>parameter</u>.

(e)

In a random sample of homeowners in the United States, it is found that 34% of the sampled homeowners renew their home warranty. The 34% here is a <u>statistic</u>.
