Answer:
probability that his sample will contain at least one damaged apple (P) = 0.7215
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Probability of damaged apples (p) = 12% = 0.12
number of samples (n) = 10
Consider,
x- number of apples damaged.
Using Binomial distribution formula:
P(x) = 
To find the probability that his sample will contain at least one damaged apple:
P(x≥1) = 1 - P(x<1)
= 1 - P(x=0)
= 1 - 
P(x≥1) = 0.7215
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
Let h the height of the hill. =
At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.
By definition,
tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x
(1)
At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is
40 + 18 = 58°.
By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)
h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)
h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)
Equate (1) and (2).
1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135
x = 946.0523
From (1), obtain
h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft
Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)
