Answer:

22,999 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the solution diagram attached,

The altitude, h of the plane can be solved using trigonometry :

Using :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Opposite = h

Hypotenus = 47440

Sin 29 = h / 47440

h = 47440 * sin29

h = 22999.368

h = 22,999 feets

If it took 28 minutes to run 4 miles, then at that rate, how long would it take to run 20 miles?

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

140 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

After 28 mins you've gone 4 miles, assuming this rate is constant and you dont slow down or speed up, in order to get to 20 miles you will have run 5x as much (20/4 = 5), thus 5x the amount of time (28x5).

20/4 = 5

5x28 = 140

What is the line slope of (10,5) and (1,9)

sveta [45]

Use the slope formula
y2-y1
m=---------
x2-x1
(rise-->y over run-->x)
so it would be
9-5
m=-------
1-10
and that would simplify to
4
----
-9
and that would be your slope.

Hope that helped :-)

Can someone please help me

Aneli [31]

Answer:

r = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for r, plug in the change in x values and change in y values, since the hypotenuse is simply the diagonal of both the y-coordinate and x-coordinates shown via drawing legs on the vertical and horizontal axis. So, since (0,0) is the initial point, r = sqr[(-4-0)^2 + (-3-0)^2 = sqr(16 + 9) = 5.

Now, the angle theta is the angle in which the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios are found. Simply use opposite over hypotenuse for sine, adjacent over hypotenuse for cosine, and opposite over adjacent for tangent using theta as the angle in which these values are obtained.

Answer:

Incomplete question

Complete question;

A group of eight golfers paid $430 to play a round of golf . Of the golfers one was a member and 7 were not.

Another group of golfers consists of two members and one nonmember. They paid a total of $75. What is the cost for a member to play a round of golf, and what is the cost for a nonmember?

Answer: X = $82.695 for members

Y = $49.615 for non members

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use X to denote members and Y for non-members.

Therefore, amount paid by one member to play + amount paid by 7 non-members to play = 430

X + 7Y = 430. . .1

Amount paid by 2 members to play + amount paid by one non-member to play = 215

2X + Y = 215. . .2

Solving both equations simultaneously

X+7Y = 430

2X +Y = 215

Therefore, from eqn 1. X = 430-7y

Substituting this into wan 2 gives

2(430-7Y) + Y = 215

860-14Y + Y = 215

860-215 =13Y

645 = 13y

Y = 49.615

Therefore substituting Y = 49.615 into any equation above

X + 7(49.615) = 430

X = 430-347.05

X = 82.695

The head of maintenance at XYZ Rent-A-Car believes that the mean number of miles between services is 3639 3639 miles, with a var

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

96.6% probability that the mean of a sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

A reminder is that the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

$\mu = 3639, \sigma = \sqrt{145161} = 381, n = 41, s = \frac{381}{\sqrt{41}} = 59.5$

Probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3639 + 126 = 3765 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3639 - 126 = 3513. So

X = 3765

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{3765 - 3639}{59.5}$

$Z = 2.12$

$Z = 2.12$ has a pvalue of 0.983

X = 3513

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{3513 - 3639}{59.5}$

$Z = -2.12$

$Z = -2.12$ has a pvalue of 0.017

0.983 - 0.017 = 0.966

96.6% probability that the mean of a sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles
