Answer:

208.8 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Form a triangle with the centre of the Earth (C) at one point, the horizon (H) as a second point, and the top of Mt. Everest (O) as the third (see diagram).

Let

r = Earth’s radius

h = height of Mt Everest

d = distance to horizon

∆CHO is a right triangle.

d² + r² = (r+h)²

d² + 3959² = (3959+5.5)²

d² + 15 673 681 = 3964.5²

d² + 15 673 681 = 15 717 260 Subtract 15 673 681 from each side

d² = 43 579 Take the square root of each side

d = 208.8 mi

The distance from the top of Mt Everest to the horizon is 208.8 mi.

Make use of the given interpretation for the median to assign probabilities to the simple events and find P(A), P(B), and P(C).

scoundrel [369]

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part of the question

The Bureau of the Census reports that the median family income for all families in the United States during the year 2003 was $43,318. That is, half of all American families had incomes exceeding this amount, and half had incomes equal to or below this amount. Suppose that four families are surveyed and that each one reveals whether its income exceeded $43,318 in 2003.

answer :

P(A) = 11 / 16

P(B) = 3/8

and P(C) = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Making use of the given interpretation for the median we can assign probabilities to simple events as

P(A) = | A | / | sample space |

where | A | = 11

sample space = 16

P(A) = 11 / 16

∴ P(B) = 6/16 = 3/8

and P(C) = 4/16 = 1/4
