Answer:

9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the knowns

a² + 22² = 24²

Subtract 22² from both sides

a² = 24² - 22²

a² = 576 - 484

a² = 92

Take the square root of both sides

a = 9.591663046625438

Rounded

a = 9.6 ft

Answer:

a = 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will need to know the Pythagoras theorem that states that in a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angel) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This theorem can be written as an equation....

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$

Now we can see that we can easily find the missing value by using this theorem. We just have to substitute the values. And we get the following

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$

$a^{2} = c^{2} - b^{2}$

$a^{2} = 15^{2} - 9^{2}$

$a^{2} = 225 - 81$

$a^{2} = 144$

$a = \sqrt{144}$

$a = 12$

From an industrial area 70 companies were selected at random and 45 of them were panning for expansion next year. Find 95% confi

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Confidence limit = [52.8%, 75.2%]

Step-by-step explanation:

$P=\frac{45}{70}= 0.64$

$(1-P)=1-0.64=0.36$

$n= 70$

$P$ ± $z$ $\sqrt{\frac{P(1-P)}{n} }$

where the value $z$ will be taken from the z-table for 95% confidence interval

1-0.95= 0.05/2= 0.025

0.95+0.025= 0.0975

From the z-table the value of $z$ corresponding to 0.0975 is 1.96

$0.64$ ± $1.96$ $\sqrt{\frac{0.64*0.36}{70} }$

$0.64$ ± $1.96$ $(0.057)$

$0.64$ ± $0.112$

$64%$ % ± $11.2$ %

so the confidence interval is

$64+11.2=75.2$ %

$64-11.2=52.8$ %

$[52.8, 75.2]$
