Answer:

$\theta = 4.8^\circ$

It is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for the construction

Solving (a): The minimum angle

This is calculated as thus:

$tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$

$tan(\theta) = \frac{15}{180}$

$tan(\theta) = 0.0833$

Calculate $\theta$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(0.0833)$

$\theta = 4.761$

$\theta = 4.8^\circ$ --- approximated

Solving (b):

First; calculate the height of the building using the following equivalent ratio.

$h : 420 = 15 : 180$

Where h is the height of the building

$\frac{h }{ 420 }= \frac{15 }{ 180}$

$h= \frac{15 }{ 180}*420$

$h= \frac{15*420 }{ 180}$

$h= \frac{6300}{ 180}$

$h= 35$

This means that it is possible that the builder builds a 32 feet high building

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.

Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

For this problem, the mean and the standard deviation are given as follows:

$\mu = 247, \sigma = 60$

For item a, the proportion is the p-value of Z when Z = 167, hence:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Z = (167 - 247)/60

Z = -1.33.

Z = -1.33 has a p-value of 0.0918.

Hence the percentage is of 9.18%.

For item b, the proportion is the p-value of Z when Z = 367, hence:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Z = (367 - 247)/60

Z = 2.

Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.

Hence the percentage is of 97.72%.

For item c, the proportion is one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 247, hence:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Z = (247 - 247)/60

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a p-value of 0.5.

Hence the percentage is of 50%.

For item d, the proportion is one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 350, hence:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Z = (350 - 247)/60

Z = 1.72

Z = 1.72 has a p-value of 0.9573.

1 - 0.9573 = 0.0427.

Hence the percentage is of 4.27%.

For item e, the proportion is the p-value of Z when Z = 67, hence:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Z = (67 - 247)/60

Z = -3.

Z = -3 has a p-value of 0.0013.

Hence the percentage is of 0.13%.

For item f, the proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 300 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 200, hence:

X = 300:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Z = (300 - 247)/60

Z = 0.88.

Z = 0.88 has a p-value of 0.8106.

X = 200:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Z = (200 - 247)/60

Z = -0.78.

Z = -0.78 has a p-value of 0.2177.

0.8106 - 0.2177 = 0.5929.

Hence the percentage is 59.29%.

For item g, the proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 400 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 360, hence:

X = 400:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Z = (400 - 247)/60

Z = 2.55.

Z = 2.55 has a p-value of 0.9946.

X = 360:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Z = (360 - 247)/60

Z = 1.88.

Z = 1.88 has a p-value of 0.97.

0.9946 - 0.97 = 0.0246

Hence the percentage is 2.46%.

For items h and i, the distribution is symmetric, hence median = mean and the percentages are of 50%.

an eight foot ladder leans against a building. if the ladder makes an angle of 60° with the ground, how far up the wall does the

damaskus [11]

Answer:

The ladder reaches (4)(√3) ft up the wall (6.93 ft)

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a triangle with a 60 degree angle in the lower left corner. The lower right corner is a right triangle, and 8 ft is the length of the hypotenuse. The other angle is 30 degrees.

We know the angle 60 degrees, plus the length of the hypotenuse, but need the length of the vertical side opposite the 60 degree angle. Use the sine function here because it involves these knowns:

opposite side

sin 60 degrees = ------------------------ = x/(8 ft) = (√3)/2

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2x = (8 ft)(√3), or through reduction, x = (4)(√3)

The ladder reaches (4)(√3) ft up the wall (6.93 ft)
