Answer:

Height of the pole = 9.17 chi.

Length of the rope = 12.17 chi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the rope is hanging from the top of a pole having height x chi and the portion of the rope lying on the ground is 3 chi.

So, the length of the rope= x + 3 chi.

Let AB represents the pole in the figure, and one end of the rope is at point A.

When the rope is tightly stretched, let C be the other end of the rope as shown in the triangle.

The length of the rope = AC.

\Rightarrow AC=x+3 chi.

Distance from the bottom of the pole, point A, to the other end of the pole, point B, is 8 chi.

So, BC=8 chi.

As the triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle, so by using Pythagoras theorem,

AC^2= AB^2+BC^2

\Rightarrow (x+3)^2=x^2+8^2

\Rightarrow x^2+6x+9=x^2+64

\Rightarrow 6x=64-9=55

\Rightarrow x=55/6=9.17 chi.

Hence, the height of the pole, AB=x=9.17 chi,

and the length of the rope, x+3=9.17+3=12.17 chi.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the average number of years until the first major repair is (3.1, 3.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the average using the finite correction factor is:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{N-n}{N-1}}

The information provided is:

N=1500\\n=183\\\sigma=1.47\\\bar x=3.3

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is,

<em>z</em> = 1.96

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the average number of years until the first major repair as follows:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{N-n}{N-1}}

     =3.3\pm 1.96\times\frac{1.47}{\sqrt{183}}\times\sqrt{\frac{1500-183}{1500-1}}\\\\=3.3\pm 0.19964\\\\=(3.10036, 3.49964)\\\\\approx (3.1, 3.5)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the average number of years until the first major repair is (3.1, 3.5).

liq [111]

The probability of getting exactly zero tails is 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a fair coin is tossed three time, the set of equally likely outcomes is:

S= {HHH,HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

n(S)=8

Let A be the event that there are exactly zero tails which means there are all heads

Then

A= {HHH}

n(A)=1

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\=\frac{1}{8}

The probability of getting exactly zero tails is 1/8.
