Answer:

See answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

You are missing data such as the angle of the boat next to Dolores. I found an exercise similar to this, and I'm going to show it here and use the missing data to show you how to do it:

<u>Dolores is on a bridge that is 45 feet above a lake. She sees a boat at a 30 degree angle of depression. What is Dolores' approximate horizontal distance from the boat?</u>

<u></u>

According to that, I will use the angle of 30° to do this, but the distance of 42 feet.

Now, we can see this as a triangle. Dolores is on a bridge 42 feet above a lake, this 42 feet distance should be one side of the triangle (The vertical forming the 90° angle), and the boat that is on the lake, is seen with an angle of 30°. So the distance of the boat, to the spot where dolores is, under the bridge would be the horizontal side.

With this, we have the opposite side (a) and the adyacent side (b) of the triangle, and we have the angle, therefore:

tanα = a/b

Replacing we have:

tan30° = 42/b

b = 42 / tan30°

b = 72.75 feet

Hope this helps

The lengths of pregnancies in a small rural village are normally distributed with a mean of 264.1 days and a standard deviation
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The range of the 95% data (X) =  238.3 days <  X < 289.9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mean of the normal distribution, m = 264.1 days

standard deviation, d = 12.9 days

between two standard deviation below and above the mean is 96% of all the data.

two standard deviation below the mean = m - 2d

                                                                   = 264.1 - 2(12.9)

                                                                   = 238.3 days

two standard deviation above the mean = m + 2d

                                                                    = 264.1 + 2(12.9)

                                                                     = 289.9 days

The middle of the 95% of most pregnancies would be found in the following range;

238.3 days <  X < 289.9 days
