Answer:

The standard deviation of this probability distribution is 1.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

P(X = 0) = 0.25

P(X = 1) = 0.3

P(X = 2) = 0.1

P(X = 3) = 0.35

Mean:

Each value multiplied by its probability. So

M = 0*0.25 + 1*0.3 + 2*0.1 + 3*0.35 = 1.55

Variance:

Sum of the squares of the values subtracted from the mean, and multiplied by its probability.

V = 0.25*(0-1.55)^2 + 0.3*(1-1.55)^2 + 0.1*(2-1.55)^2 + 0.35*(3-1.55)^2 = 1.4475

Standard deviation:

Square root of the variance. So

S = \sqrt{V} = \sqrt{1.4475} = 1.2

The standard deviation of this probability distribution is 1.2.

A helicopter hovers 1250 feet

Create a right triangle.

The height of the leg will be 1250 feet. We are given an angle of depression of 47°, so we can draw an imaginary line parallel to the base of the triangle.

By the AIA Theorem, the angle of the bottom right side of the right triangle will be 47 degrees.

We want to find the distance between the coast and the island. In other words, find the length of the base of the triangle. We can do so with trigonometric ratios.

tan47 = 1250/x

x = 1166.

Using the Exterior Angle Theorem, solve for the identified angle. WILL MAKE Brainliest!
Olegator [25]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

150 = ?+120

Subtract 120 from each side

150-120 = ?

30 = ?
