The first thing we are going to do is draw a diagram of the situation to help us to solve the situation.
We an draw tow similar triangle between the length of the shadows and the height of the stick and the pole.
Since <span>meter stick has a length of 1 meter, the height of our smaller triangle is 1 meter. Let </span>
be height of of the pole. Since both triangles are similiar we can establish a proportion between their corresponding sides and solve for :
We can conclude that the pole is 4.04 meters tall.

The probability that both specific qualified applicants will be among the eight selected is given by:
The probability that the two will get apartments on the North side is given by:
The probability that the two will get apartments on the South side is given by:
The events '2 apartments on North side' and '2 apartments on South side' are mutually exclusive. Therefore the probability the two specific qualified applicants will be on the same side of town is 0.107 + 0.357 = 0.464.
Finally, the probability that two specific qualified applicants will be selected for apartments on the same side of town is found from:
