Answer:

27 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw this out. Since the altitude is 8000, we can make that the height, and it goes 16000 feet through the air, that can be the length. I have drawn this out, as shown in the image. Note that when drawing, because the airplane is going up and forward, that path should represent the hypotenuse. The angle of elevation is the angle connecting the length and the path, as shown by the angle x in the picture.

We know than tan(x) = opposite/adjacent, so tan(x) here = 8000/16000 = 1/2. Then, arctan(1/2) =x = 27 degrees

When Ryan is serving at a restaurant, there is a 0.75 probability that each party will order drinks with their meal. During one
Triss [41]

Answer:

0.82 = 82% probability that at least one party will not order drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

For each party, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will order drinks with their meal, or they will not. The probability of a party ordering drinks with their meal is independent of other parties. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

When Ryan is serving at a restaurant, there is a 0.75 probability that each party will order drinks with their meal.

This means that p = 0.75

During one hour, Ryan served 6 parties. Assuming that each party is equally likely to order drinks, what is the probability that at least one party will not order drinks?

6 parties, so n = 6.

Either all parties will order drinks, or at least one will not. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 6) + P(X < 6) = 1

We want P(X < 6). So

P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.75)^{6}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.18

P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6) = 1 - 0.18 = 0.82

0.82 = 82% probability that at least one party will not order drinks

49 more than the quotient of an unknown number and 12 is 53. What is the value of the unknown number?
lara [203]
Unknown = x

the quotient of x and 12 is x/12 than 49 more than that is 53,
(x/12)+49=53, now use basic math and solve

-49 from both side,
x/12=4

*12 to both side,
x=48

therefore the unknown number is 48

Which quadratic function shows a y-intercept of 4 and a maximum value of 5
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The 4th graph

Step-by-step explanation:

To have a maximum value, your parabola would have to open downwards. So the first 2 are wrong. Since your y-intercept is positive 4, your graph would have to touch the y axis at 4. The 3rd graph is wrong since it touches the y-axis at a negative point. The correct answer would be the 4th answer choice.
