Answer:

60.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry :

Opposite = Height of shadow = 42 feets

Adjacent = height of flagpole = 23.7 feets

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = height of shadow / height of flagpole

Tan θ = 42 / 23.7

Tan θ = 1.7721518

θ = tan^-1(1.7721518)

θ = 60.56

θ = 60.6°

A college statistics class at a nearby university has 1,000 students enrolled in it. On a recent exam, the mean score was 75% wi
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

38.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (μ) = 75, standard deviation (σ) = 5

Z score is a measure in statistics to determine the variation of a raw score from the mean. It is given by the equation:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

To calculate the percentage of students scored between a 73 and 78 (C grade), we need to find the z score for 73 and then for 78.

For x = 73, the z score is:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{73-75}{5} =-0.4

For x = 78, the z score is:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{78-75}{5} =0.6

From the probability distribution table:

P(73 < x < 78) = P(-0.4 < z < 0.6) = P(z < 0.6) - P(z < -0.4) = 0.7257 - 0.3446 = 0.3811 = 38.11%
