Answer:

73°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we use trigonometry to find the angle. The building and the ground form a perpendicular angle, with the ladder acting as the hypotenuse, we get a right angle. We know the length of adjacent leg from the angle, and the length of the hypotenuse. In this case, we use cosine since cos = adjacent length/hypotenuse length. So cos x= 7/24. To isolate x, we use the inverse function of cos, cos^-1. Then x= cos^-1 (7/24) or 73°.

The average number of Saturday night shootings is 5 a night. What’s the chance that there will be a need for exactly 3 shootings
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the poisson probability relation :

P(x = x) = (λ^x * e^-λ) ÷ x!

From the question ; mean, λ = 5 ; x = 3

Hence,

P(x = 3) = (5^3 * e^-5) ÷ 3!

P(x = 3) = (125 * 0.0067379) / 6

P(x = 3) = 0.8422375 / 6

P(x = 3) = 0.140

Jim provides photos for two online sites: site A and site B. Site A pays $0.85 for every photo Jim provides. The amount in dolla
yarga [219]
We can use the same equation to figure out with only substituting the amount he was paid per photo.

Site A    y = $0.85x      =  $0.85(5)  =  $4.25
Site B    y = $0.40x      =  $0.40(5)  =  $2.00

We can see that Jim was paid $2.25 more at site A than Site B.
