A lighthouse is 90 feet above sea level. The angle of depression from the top of the lighthouse to the center of the rock is 35
degrees, and the angle of depression to the swimmer is 45 degrees. Find the distance between the center of the rock and the swimmer.
1 answer:
Notice the picture below
so.... the angle of depression, is above in dashed lines.... however, the angle of depression, is identical to the angle of elevation from the water, since, both angles are "alternate interior" angles
now, using the 45-45-90 rule, then we know the swimmer is 90 feet from the lighthouse, then just use the tangent ratio to get "x"

Answer:
A. <u>Normal</u>
B. <u>30.1</u>, <u>32.9</u>
C. <u>95</u>, <u>5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The sampling distribution follows a <u>normal</u> distribution
Given that the sample size is large, we have that the sample distribution follows a normal distribution according to the central limit theorem
B. The 95% confidence interval is given as follows;
The number of residents in the study, n = 120 residents
The sample mean, = 31.5 pounds
The standard deviation, s = 7.8 pounds
The z-value for 95% confidence level, z = 1.96
Therefore, we get;
C.I. = 31.5 ± 1.96 × 7.8/√(120)
The 95% C.I. ≈ 30.1 ≤ ≤ 32.9
Therefore, we have that with 95% confidence, the population mean number of pounds per person per week is between <u>30.1</u> and <u>32.9</u>
C. Therefore, according to the central limit theorem, about <u>95</u> percent of the groups of 120 will contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week and about <u>5</u> percent will not contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week.
