Answer:
Distance between boat and light house = 223.88 meter (Approx.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of light house = 60 meters
Angle of depression to boat = 15°
Find:
Distance between boat and light house
Computation:
Using trigonometry application:
Tanθ = Perpendicular / Base
Tan 15 = Height of light house / Distance between boat and light house
0.268 = 60 / Distance between boat and light house
Distance between boat and light house = 60 / 0.268
Distance between boat and light house = 223.88 meter (Approx.)
For an exponential distribution, the standard deviation is equal to the mean.
(a) the standard deviation is 4 miles.
Answer:
the equation should be corrected to fit the data of the problem. With the corrected equation a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years
Step-by-step explanation:
for the mass y( in grams)
y=23* (1/2)^(t/45), t ≥ 0.
the initial mass is at t=0 , then
y= 23 grams → should be 16 grams
half-life from the equation = 45 years → should be 30 years
the correct equation should be
y=16*(1/2)^(t/30), t ≥ 0
then after 150 years → t= 150
y=16*(1/2)^(150/30)= 16*(1/2)^5 = 16/32 = 0.5 grams
then a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years
