Answer:

C. 95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 1189 points, standard deviation of 397 points.

Percentage between 395 and 1983 points?

395 = 1189 - 2*397

1983 = 1189 + 2*397

So within 2 standard deviations of the mean, which by the Empirical Rule is approximately 95%, and the answer is option C.

A 12-meter ladder leans against a building forming a 30° angle with the building.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

will show you two (2) ways to solve this problem.

A diagram is needed to see what is going on....

 

Without loss of generality (WLOG)

The wall is on the right. The ladder leans against the wall

with a POSITIVE slope, from SW to NE (quadrant 3 to quadrant 1).

The measure from the bottom of the ladder to the wall is 6.

 

 

Option 1:

 

The ladder, ground and wall form a right triangle.

 

The hypotenuse (ladder) is 14 feet.

 

 The bottom of the ladder is 6 feet from the wall,

  so the base of this right triangle is 6 feet.

 

The top of the ladder to the ground represents

the missing leg of the right triangle.

 

The pythagorean theorem applies, which says

 6^2 + h^2 = 14^2   where h is the height

                                 of the top of the ladder to the ground

 

36 + h^2 = 196

 

 h^2 = 196 - 36

 

h^2  = 160

 

h = sqrt(160)

 

   = sqrt(16 * 10)

 

    = sqrt(16)* sqrt(10)

 

    = 4*sqrt(10) <--- exact answer

 

    = 4 * 3.16227766016838....

 

     = 12.64911....

 

    12.65 <--- rounded to 2 digits as directed

 

----------------------------------------------

Option #2: using trig

 

With respect to the angle formed by the bottom of the

ladder with the ground

  cos T = 6/14 = 3/7  

 T = inverse-cosine(3/7) = 64.623006647 degrees

 

 sin(64.623006647) = h/14

 

 h = 14*sin(64.62300647) = 12.6491106 <--- same answer                        

hope this helps
