Answer: 282. 7 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = 120 ft

θ = 23°

To obtain the distance (d) of plane from airport tower :

Tan θ = h / d

Tan 23 = 120 / d

0.4244748 * d = 120

d = 120 / 0.4244748

d = 282.70229

d = 282.7 feets

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

<u>3.7</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
  • sinθ = 0.27

<u>Solving for cos</u>θ

  • cos²θ = 1 - sin²θ
  • cos²θ = 1 - (0.27)²
  • cos²θ = 0.0729

<u>Finding tan</u>θ

  • tanθ = sinθ / cosθ
  • tanθ = 0.27 / 0.0729
  • tanθ = <u>3.7</u>

<u>Verifying it lies in the range</u>

  • θ = tan⁻¹ (3.7)
  • θ = 74.88°
  • Range is : 0 < θ < π/2 [or 0 < θ < 90°]
  • It lies in the range [Verified]

Harman [31]

Answer:

The expected value of profit is -0.5125. This is expected loss as value is negative.        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

P(winning) = 0.075

Thus,

P(Loosing) =

1 - 0.075 = 0.925

If we win we gain a profit of $5.50 and if we loose the lottery, we loose $1.

Thus, we can form the probability distribution in the following manner:

  Event:      Winning       Loosing

Profit(x):      +5.50               -1

     P(x):       0.075             0.925

We have to calculate the expected value of the profit.

E(X) = \displaystyle\sum x_i(P(x_i))\\E(x) = +5.50(0.075) + (-1)(0.925)\\E(x) = -0.5125

Thus, the expected value of profit is -0.5125. This is expected loss as value is negative.
