Answer:

404.98 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression is 5°

The horizontal distance from the airplane to the atoll is 4629 meters.

We need to find the height of the plane.

If we consider a triangle. 4629 meters will be the base and angle is 5°. Let h is the height of the plane. Using trigonometry to find it :

\tan\theta=\dfrac{x}{4629 }\\\\\tan(5)=\dfrac{x}{4629 }\\\\x=\tan(5)\times 4629 \\\\x=404.98\ m

So, the height of the plane is 404.98 m.

How many different permutations can you make with the letters in the word s e v e n t e e n ? A. 7,560 B. 17! C. 15,120 D. 3,780
Bess [88]

I'm not 100% sure if I'm doing it the right way, but I think the answer is the factorial of the number of letters divided by the factorials of the number of elements of each kind of element (in this case, the same letters)


9!/1!4!1!2!1!

= 9 · 8 · 7 · 6 · 5 · 4!/4!2!

= 9 · 8 · 7 · 6 · 5/2

= 9 · 4 · 7 · 6 · 5

= 63 · 120


= 7,560 permutations

An optical inspection system is used to distinguish among different part types. The probability of a correct classification of a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer: \mu=2.88\ \&\ \sigma^2=0.115

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability of a correct classification of any part is : p=0.96

sample size : n= 3

The formula to find the mean and variance for binomial distribution is given by :-

\mu=np\\\\\sigma^2=np(1-p)

Let the random variable X denote the number of parts that are correctly classified.

The, for the given situation, we have

\mu=3(0.96)=2.88\\\\\sigma^2=(3)(0.96)(1-0.96)=0.1152\approx0.115

Hence, the mean and variance of X are 2.88 and 0.115 respectively.
