57 ft because drawing it up, we can make a right angled triangle with the right angle between the height of the man in the building and the distance out from the building of the man in the street, and the 35 degrees between the line connecting the man in the street with the man in the building, and the line out from the building of the man in the street. Then, tan of the 35 degree angle is = to opposite (40ft)/adjacent (to solve for). By cross multiplication, the A or adjacent (dist out from the building) = 40/0.7 (0.7 = tan of 35 degrees) so the answer is 57 ft.

The correct answer is 57 feet. Since this is a right triangle and you know the angle and opposite side and are trying to find the adjacent side you can use tangent. tan  = \frac{40}{x}, so  x = \frac{40}{tan(35)}.

Jason wants to perform a two-tailed test for equality between two independent sample proportions. Each sample has at least 10 "s
Volgvan

Answer:

0.149

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jason wants to perform a two-tailed test for equality between two independent sample proportions

Each sample has at least 10 "successes" and 10 "failures."

Jason's test statistic is -1.44

Since here proportions are tested Z test might have been used.

Z statistic = -1.44

We can get p value for this Z statistic

p value=0.149

p value for two tailed is 0.149

Comparing this with t statistic we can decide whether to accept or reject null hypothesis.

A line has a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of 5. What is its equation in slope-intercept form? Write your answer using integers,
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

y=3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is asking for slope-intercept form, luckily, they gave us both of those things.

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b, where m= slope and b= y-intercept.

So,

y=3x+5

Hope this helps!
