Answer:

47,433.0 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Height of the plane = opposite = 17000feet

distance between the plane and the airport = hypotenuse = x

Angle of depression = 21 degrees

Since Sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin 21 = 17000/x

x = 17000/sin21

x = 17000/0.3584

x = 47,433.0

Hence the distance between the plane and the airport to the nearest 10th of a foot is 47,433.0 feet

Perform the indicated operation. (-18)/-(4)
Illusion [34]
A negative divided by a negative is always a positive. 4 can go into 18 only 4 times to get 16 with a remainder of 2. 2 is half of four, therefore -4 can go into -18 4.5 times. 
The answer is 4 1/2 or 4.5.
I hope this helps ^-^

What is an example of when you would want consistent data and, therefore, a small standard deviation?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

12.1, 12.3,12.4,12.5,12.3,12.1,12.2

\bar X= \frac{12.1+12.3+12.4+12.5+12.3+12.1+12.2}{7}=12.271

And for the standard deviation we can use the following formula:

s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And after replace we got:

s = 0.1496

And as we can ee we got a small value for the deviation <1 on this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if we have the following data:

12.1, 12.3,12.4,12.5,12.3,12.1,12.2

We see that the data are similar for all the observations so we would expect a small standard deviation

If we calculate the sample mean we can use the following formula:

\bar X=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And replacing we got:

\bar X= \frac{12.1+12.3+12.4+12.5+12.3+12.1+12.2}{7}=12.271

And for the standard deviation we can use the following formula:

s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And after replace we got:

s = 0.1496

And as we can ee we got a small value for the deviation <1 on this case.
