Answer:

The distance between B and lighthouse is 3.8688 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The angle made from ship to lighthouse is 36.5 degrees

and that of point B is 73 degrees.

To Find:

Distance  Between Point B and Lighthouse

Solution:

<em>Consider a triangle LAB(Refer the attachment )</em>

And Point C is on the line AB as A i.e. ship is sailing to B

So C is at 5 km from A.

Now In triangle LAC,

Using Trigonometry Functions as ,

tan(36.5)=LC/AC

LC=tan(36.5)*AC

=0.7399*5

=3.6998 km

Now In triangle LBC,

As,

Sin(73)=LC/LB

LB=LC/(Sin(73))

=3.6998/0.9563

=3.8688 km

LB=3.8688 km

A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 404 gram setting. It
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

n = 27 bags

Sample mean;X = 402 gram

Population mean;μ = 404 gram

Variance = 676

We know that, standard deviation(σ) = √variance

Thus;

σ = √676

σ = 26

The hypotheses are;

Null hypothesis; H0: μ = 404

Alternative hypothesis; HA: μ < 404

Let's find the z-score from the formula;

z = (X - μ)/(√σ/n)

z = (402 - 404)/√(26/27)

z = -2.04

From the z-distribution table attached, we have a p-value of 0.02068

This is less than the significance value of 0.01 and thus we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

ELEN [110]

Answer:

d = 233.23 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Justin walks 200 feet to the east, then turns and  walks 120 feet due south.

We need to find the total distance walked by Justin. Let the distance be d.

We can use the Pythagoras theorem to find it such that,

d=\sqrt{d_1^2+d_2^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{200^2+120^2} \\\\d=233.24\ feet

So, he walk 233.23 feet in all.

The piecewise function is basically the result of two different functions combined together. If x is 0 or larger, then h(x) = x+4. Otherwise, if x < 0, then h(x) = -x-4

No matter what number you pick for x, the h(x) function will be used in some way. So the domain is the set of all real numbers. To write this in interval notation, we write (-\infty, \infty) which means we start off at negative infinity and go to positive infinity. This is basically saying "the entire real number line". Since we can't actually reach either infinity, we always use parenthesis with them. <u>Never</u> use square brackets with either infinity

From the graph (see attached image below), we see that (0,-4) is the lowest point. This means y = -4 is the smallest y output possible, though we can't actually reach it because of the open circle at (0,-4). We can get any other larger y value. So the range is therefore: (-4, \infty) meaning we start at -4 and head off to positive infinity. The curve parenthesis next to -4 the reader "exclude -4 as part of the range". There is an open hole or gap here. Another way to state the range is to write y > -4
