Sam is at the top of a tower and will ride down a zip line to a lower tower. The total vertical drop of the zip line is 40 ft. T
he zip lines angle of elevation from the lower tower is LaTeX: 15^\circ.15 ∘ . What is the horizontal distance between the two towers? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Group of answer choices
1 answer:
Answer:
149.30ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the vertical distance between the two tower = 40ft
The angle of elevation from the lower tower to te higher tower = 15°
The horizontal distance between the two towers = x
Assuming the angle of elevation and the distance between the two towers makes a right angle triangle, we can use SOHCAHTOA and determine which one would be suitable to find x.
Check attached document for better illustration of the triangle.
Tanθ = opposite / adjacent
Opposite = 40
θ = 15°
Adjacent = x
Tan15 = 40 / x
0.2679 = 40 / x
X = 40 / 0.2679
X = 149.30ft
The horizontal distance between the two towers is 149.30ft

Answer:
C. unlikely
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
A probability is said to be extremely likely if it is 95% or higher, and extremely unlikely if it is 5% or lower. A probabilty higher than 50% and lower than 95% is said to be likely, and higher than 5% and lower than 50% is said to be unlikely.
In this problem, we have that:
How likely is it that a single survey would return a mean of 30%?
We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 0.30.
has a pvalue of 0.1587.
So the correct answer is:
C. unlikely
