Answer:

Let the distance from the base of the statue to the ship be d, then

tan 18 = 250/d

d = 250 / tan 18 = 769.4

The distance from the base of the statue to the ship to the nearest foot is 769 feet.

Researchers planning a study of the reading ability of third-grade children want to obtain a 95% confidence interval for the pop
Fed [463]

Answer:

A) M = 3.016

B) M = 9.79

C) 62

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are given;

Population size; n = 100

standard deviation; σ = 12

Formula for the margins of error is;

M = z × σ/√n

At 99% confidence interval, z = 2.58

Thus;

M = 2.58 × 12/√100

M = 3.016

B) n is now equal to 10, thus at same confidence interval used in option A, we have;

M = 2.58 × 12/√10

M = 9.79

C) to solve this, we will use the formula;

n ≥ (zσ/m)²

Where;

z at 95% confidence interval has a value of 1.96

m is the margin of error = 3

Thus;

n ≥ (1.96 × 12/3)²

n ≥ 61.4656

Thus,approximately n = 62

generate and solve another division problem with the same quotient and remainder as the two problems below. Explain your strateg
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The dividend is 51 and the divisor is 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the remainder is 12, so the divisor must be greater than 12.

So, we can choose any number as a divisor which is greater than 12.

Assume the divisor is 13.

So, when we divide the dividend say, x by the divisor 13 then the quotient will be 3 and the remainder will be 12.

Therefore, x = 13 × 3 + 12 = 51

So, the dividend is 51 and the divisor is 13. (Answer)
