Answer:

Altitude of the plane is 0.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

An airplane A is at height h miles observes a small airstrip at D and a factory at F, 4.8 miles apart from D.

Angle of depressions for the airstrip is 13.1° and the factory is 4.1°.

We have to calculate the airplane's altitude h.

From ΔABF,

tan4.1 = \frac{AB}{BF}=\frac{h}{(x+4.8)}

h = 0.07168(x + 4.8) -----(1)

From ΔABD,

tan13.1 = \frac{h}{x}

h = 0.2327x -----(2)

From equation (1) and (2),

0.07168(x + 4.8) = 0.2327x

0.2327x - 0.07168x = 4.8×0.07168

0.161x = 0.344

x = \frac{0.344}{0.161}=2.14 miles

From equation (2),

h = 0.2327×2.137

h = 0.4972 miles

h ≈ 0.5 miles

Therefore, 0.5 miles is the altitude of the plane.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for binomial distribution which is expressed as

P(x = r) = nCr × p^r × q^(n - r)

Where

x represent the number of successes.

p represents the probability of success.

q = (1 - r) represents the probability of failure.

n represents the number of trials or sample.

From the information given,

p = 18% = 18/100 = 0.18

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.18

q = 0.82

n = 5

Therefore,

P(x ≤ 2) = p(x = 0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2)

P(x = 0) = 5C0 × 0.18^0 × 0.82^(5 - 0)

P(x = 0) = 0.37

P(x = 1) = 5C1 × 0.18^1 × 0.82^(5 - 1)

P(x = 1) = 0.41

P(x = 2) = 5C2 × 0.18^2 × 0.82^(5 - 2)

P(x = 2) = 0.18

Therefore,

P(x ≤ 2) = 0.37 + 0.41 + 0.18 = 0.96
