Using the Pythagoras theorem 

15^2 = x^2 + h^2   where h = height of ladder on the nuiding

h^2 = 15^2 - 6^2  =  189

 = 13.75 ft to nearest hundredth

Answer:

The height of the building does the ladder reach is 13.75 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A painter leans a 15 ft ladder against a building. The base of the ladder is 6 ft from the building.

To find : How high on the building does the ladder reach?

Solution :

Let us take AC=Length of a ladder  =15 ft

BC = Distance between ladder base and wall of a building = 6 ft

AB = Height of the building does the ladder reach =h

Triangle formed is angle ABC which is right angle triangle.  

Applying the Pythagoras theorem,

AC^2 =AB^2 + BC^2

15^2 =h^2 + 6^2

225 =h^2 + 36

h=\sqrt{225-36}

h=\sqrt{189}

h=13.75

Therefore, The height of the building does the ladder reach is 13.75 ft.

Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States. In Australia, only 1.5% of
Naddik [55]

Answer:

There is a 27.62% probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each U.S. resident, there are only two outcomes possible. Either they have blood type AB, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using binomial probability distribution concepts.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

50 U.S residents are sampled, so n = 50

4% of the U.S population has blood type AB, so p = 0.04.

What is the probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB?

This is P(X = 2). So:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{50,2}.(0.04)^{2}.(0.96)^{48} = 0.2762

There is a 27.62% probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB.
