kirill115 [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Use trigonometry. The ladder and the building form a right triangle with the ground. You are given the length of the hypotenuse and the base angle. You use sine since we are trying to figure out the opposite side from the angle and we have the hypotenuse length. Sin = opposite/hypotenuse. So in this case, sin 60°= x/10. We solve for x by multiplying both sides by 10. Now x= sin 60° (10) = (0.8660)(10) = 8.7 m.

The thicknesses of 81 randomly selected aluminum sheets were found to have a variance of 3.23. Construct the 98% confidence inte
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The confidence interval for the population variance of the thicknesses of all aluminum sheets in this factory is Lower limit = 2.30, Upper limit = 4.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population variance is given as below:

[(n - 1)\times S^{2}  /  X^{2}  \alpha/2, n-1 ] < \alpha < [(n- 1)\times S^{2}  / X^{2} 1- \alpha/2, n- 1 ]

We are given

Confidence level = 98%

Sample size = n = 81

Degrees of freedom = n – 1 = 80

Sample Variance = S^2 = 3.23

X^{2}_{[\alpha/2, n - 1]}   = 112.3288\\\X^{2} _{1 -\alpha/2,n- 1} = 53.5401

(By using chi-square table)

[(n – 1)*S^2 / X^2 α/2, n– 1 ] < σ^2 < [(n – 1)*S^2 / X^2 1 -α/2, n– 1 ]

[(81 – 1)* 3.23 / 112.3288] < σ^2 < [(81 – 1)* 3.23/ 53.5401]

2.3004 < σ^2 < 4.8263

Lower limit = 2.30

Upper limit = 4.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

Risk of contracting chickenpox is reduced from 80% to 20%.

<u>This reduction in percentage is:</u>

  • (80 - 20)/80*100% = 75%

Katie is getting her laundry done it cost $2.25 per square foot of flowers added to the yard if she wants 12.4 ft.² of flowers h
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Katie needs to pay $27.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Cost of per foot = $2.25

Number of  flowers in her yard = 12.4 square foot

We need to find how much she needs to pay.

Solution:

Now we know that;

1\ ft^2 = \$2.25

So for 12.4 ft^2 = Cost for 12.4 ft^2 .

By using Unitary method we get;

Cost for 12.4 ft^2 = 2.25\times12.4= \$27.9

Hence Katie needs to pay $27.9.
