Answer: 76.46 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of tower = 75m

Support wire 20 m from top

Angle formed (α) = 46°

Using Pythagoras :

Sinα = opposite / hypotenus

Height used = height of tower - 20 m from top

Height = opposite = (75 - 20)m = 55m

Hypotenus = Length of support wire

Sin 46 = 55m / hypotenus

Hypotenus * sin 46 = 55

0.71934 * hypotenus = 55

Hypotenus = 55/0.71934

Hypotenus = 76.458976

Hence, Lenght of support wire = 76.46 m

A courier service company wishes to estimate the proportion of people in various states that will use its services. Suppose the
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.05 is 0.80511.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a courier service company wishes to estimate the proportion of people in various states that will use its services.

Suppose the true proportion is 0.04 and 349 are sampled.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\hat p<u><em> = sample proportion</em></u>

The z score probability distribution for sample proportion is given by;

                                  Z = \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion

           n = sample size = 349

           p = population proportion = 0.04

Now, the probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.05 is given by = P( \hat p < 0.05)

         P( \hat p < 0.05) = P( \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < \frac{0.05-0.04}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{349} } } ) = P(Z < 0.86) = 0.80511

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.86 from the z table which has an area of 0.80511.</em>

Hence, the probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.05 is 0.80511.

Use the net to find the lateral area of the cylinder.
navik [9.2K]
Hi there!

The formula for the lateral area of a cylinder is LA = 2 x pi x r x h. Using this formula, we can plug in the given values and solve for the lateral area.

WORK:
LA = 2pi x r x h
LA = 2pi x 4.5 x 17
LA = 153pi mm^2

The correct answer is the first option - 153pi mm^2

Hope this helps!! :)
