Answer:

The length of the shadow is 48.28 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The flagpole at its shadow form a 46, 44, 90 triangle.

Let AB be the flagpole.  AC is the shadow.

Let's use the sine law to calculate AC.

\frac{AC}{sin(44)}=\frac{50}{sin(46)}\\AC=\sin(44)*\frac{50}{sin(46)}AC=48.28

Find the area of this parallelogram?
Jet001 [13]

So, the area of a parallelogram is the base times the height or

a = b \times h

a being area

b being base

h being height

the height is 8 cm and the base is 15 cm

(remember: the heght should be perpendicular to the base)

so we plug in 8 for h and 15 for b to get

a = 15 \times 8

and 15 × 8 = (10 × 8) + (5 × 8) = 80 + 40 =120

So the answer is 120

Assume that body masses of Goldfinch birds follow a normal distribution with standard deviation equal to 0.04 oz. An ornithologi
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The formula to generate 70% confidence interval is: [\overline{x} - 0.013, \overline{x} + 0.013], in which \overline{x}  is the sample mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.7}{2} = 0.15

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.15 = 0.85, so Z = 1.037.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Assume that body masses of Goldfinch birds follow a normal distribution with standard deviation equal to 0.04 oz.

This means that \sigma = 0.04.

Sample of 10 birds:

This means that n = 10.

The margin of error is of:

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 1.037\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{10}}

M = 0.013

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean of \overline{x} subtracted by M.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean of \overline{x} added to M.

Then, the formula to generate 70% confidence interval is: [\overline{x} - 0.013, \overline{x} + 0.013], in which \overline{x}  is the sample mean.

A company sells fruit smoothies in two sizes: 6 ounces and 20 ounces. You know that a 6-ounce bottle contains 96 milligrams of s
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

320 milligrams of sodium

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the milligrams of sodium a 20 ounce bottle has:

\frac{96}{6} = \frac{x}{20}

Cross multiply and solve for x

1920 = 6x

320 = x

So, a 20 ounce bottle will have 320 milligrams of sodium
