Answer: We can use tangent here to find the length of the flagpole

First, find the length of the building + the flag pole

tan 32 = x/300

x=300tan32=187.460805573

(length of building + flagpole)

find length of building

tan 30 = x/300

x=173.205080757

subtract

187.460805573-173.205080757=14.255724816

round, length of flagpole = 14 feet

Given:

Distance driven by mike = 110 miles

Time taken by mike to drive 110 miles = 4 hours

To Find:

Rate of change=?

Solution:

The rate of change is also known as speed . Here we have to find the speed at which the mike drives

A simple random sample of 32 men from a normally distributed population results in a standard deviation of 12.9 beats per minute
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, H0 = The pulse rates of men have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute

Alternate Hypothesis, H1 = The pulse rates of men do not have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is basically the problem statement i.e

Pulse rates of men have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute

Hence, H0 = The pulse rates of men have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute

The alternate hypothesis will contradict or negate the null hypothesis i.e

H1 = The pulse rates of men do not have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute
