Set up a ratio of height/ shadow

2.7/1.56 = x/38.25

Cross multiply:

1.56x = 103.275

Divide both sides by 1.56

X = 66.2

Round to nearest meter = 66

Answer: 66 meters

otez555 [7]

Answer: (0.132132, 0.274368)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A simple random sample of 123 people living in Gastown and finds that 25 have an annual income that is below the poverty line.

i.e. n= 123

\hat{p}=\dfrac{25}{123}\approx0.203252

Critical value for 95% confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Confidence interval for population :

\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

i.e. 0.203252\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.203252(1-0.203252)}{123}}

0.203252\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.203252(1-0.203252)}{123}}\\\\\0.203252\pm0.071118\\\\=(0.20325-0.071118,\ 0.203252+0.071118)\\\\=(0.132132,\ 0.274368)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line : (0.132132, 0.274368)

A theater seats 2,816 people. The first row has 26 seats while the last row has 150 seats. Assuming the number of seats per row
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The theater has 32 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (a + l), where

  • a is the first term
  • l is the last term
  • n is the number of the terms

∵ The number of seats per row follows an arithmetic sequence

∵ The first row has 26 seats

∴ a = 26

∵ The last row has 150 seats

∴ l = 150

∵ The theater seats are 2,816

∴ S_{n} = 2,816

→ Substitute these values in the rule of the sum above to find n

∵ 2,816 = \frac{n}{2}(26 + 150)

∴ 2,816 = \frac{n}{2}(176)

∴ 2,816 = 88n

→ Divide both sides by 88

∴ 32 = n

∵ n represents the number of the rows

∴ The theater has 32 rows
