Actual length / shadow ratio is equal
Let the height of the building be x, then
36/28 = x/70
x = (36 x 70)/28 = 2,520/28 = 90.

Therefore, the height of the building is 90 feet.

Answer:

The probability is 0.04746

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we calculate the z-score here

Mathematically;

z-score = x-mean/SD/√n

Where from the question;

x = 85, mean = 90 , SD = 15 and n = 25

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

Z = (85-90)/15/√25 = -5/15/5 = -1.67

So the probability we want to calculate is ;

P(z > -1.67)

We use the standard normal distribution table for this;

P(z > -1.67) = 0.04746
