The heights of the pine trees in a certain forest are normally distributed, with a mean of 86 feet and a standard deviation of 8

feet.
Approximately what percentage of the pine trees in this forest are taller than 100 feet?

Answer:

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where

x is the raw score = 100 feet

μ is the population mean = 86 feet

σ is the population standard deviation = 8 feet

Hence,

x > 100 feet

z = (100 - 86)/8

z = 1.75

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<100) = 0.95994

P(x>100) = 1 - P(x<100) = 0.040059

Converting to Percentage

= 0.040059 × 100

= 4.0059%

Approximately = 4%

Therefore, the percentage of the pine trees in this forest are taller than 100 feet is 4%

A road has a 10% grade, meaning increasing 1 unit of rise to every 10 units of run.
fenix001 [56]

The grade is the ratio of rise to run, i.e. the slope aka the tangent.

\tan \theta = \dfrac{1}{10}

\theta = \arctan 0.1 \approx 5.711^\circ

Answer: (a) 6 degrees

For part b, the road is the hypotenuse c of a right triangle whose tangent of the small angle is 1/10.    The height h or rise is the side opposite the small angle.

\sin\theta = \dfrac h c

h = c \sin \theta

We could just take the sine of the angle we got but let's get it from the tangent exactly.

\cos^2 \theta + \sin ^2 \theta = 1

Dividing by squared cosine

1 + \tan ^2 \theta = 1/\cos^2 \theta = 1/(1- \sin^2 \theta)

(1- \sin^2 \theta) = 1/(1 + \tan^2 \theta)

\sin^2 \theta = 1 - 1/(1 + \tan^2 \theta)

\sin^2 \theta = 1 - 1/(1 + (1/10)^2) = 1-1/(101/100) = 1/101

h = c \sin \theta = 2 \sqrt{1/101} \approx 0.199

Answer: (b) Rise of 0.199 km

andre [41]
It is A. 0.05 represents one of his candies, and x represents how many of those, 0.10 represents the other candy while y represents how many of those candies. 1.00 is the total it should come to.

Which angles are complementary to each other?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

  All apply

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are ones that total 90°. Here, we have two pairs of congruent angles such that each pair totals 90°. We can mix and match to find pairs of complementary angles.

  less than 45°: BGC and EGF

  more than 45°: AGB and DGE

A complementary pair will consist of one angle from the first list and one angle from the second list. There are 4 possible pairings, and all are shown as answer choices.

All of the choices apply.
