The geometry technique that Chee uses to find the height of the goalpost is the equal ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles.

Correct response:

The eight of the goalpost is approximately <u>16.91 meters</u>.

<h3>Methods used to calculate the height</h3>

The length Chee is using the mirror to measure = The height of her school's football goalpost

The distance of the mirror from the goalpost = 14.35 meters

The distance on the other side of the mirror Chee steps to = 1.4 meters

The distance from her eyes to the ground = 1.65 meters

Required:

How tall is the goalpost.

Solution:

By using similar triangles relationships, we have;

$\dfrac{1.65}{1.4} = \mathbf{\dfrac{Height \ of \ the \ goalpost, h}{14.35} }$

Which gives;

$h = \dfrac{1.65}{1.4} \times 14.35 = 16.9125 \approx \mathbf{ 16.91}$

The height of the goalpost, h ≈ <u>16.91 meters</u>

Assume the sample variances to be continuous measurements. Find the probability that a random sample of 25observations, from a n

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

a) $P(4S^2 > 4*9.1) = P(\chi^2_{24} >36.4) = 0.0502$

b) $P(13.848$ Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

For this case we assume that the sample variance is given by $S^2$ and we select a random sample of size n from a normal population with a population variance $\sigma^2$ . And we define the following statistic:

$T = \frac{(n-1) S^2}{\sigma^2}$

And the distribution for this statistic is $T \sim \chi^2_{n-1}$

For this case we know that n =25 and $\sigma^2 = 6$ so then our statistic would be given by:

$\chi^2 = \frac{(n-1)S^2}{\sigma^2}=\frac{24 S^2}{6}= 4S^2$

With 25-1 =24 degrees of freedom.

Solution to the problem

Part a

For this case we want this probability:

$P(S^2 > 9.1)$

And we can multiply the inequality by 4 on both sides and we got:

$P(4S^2 > 4*9.1) = P(\chi^2_{24} >36.4) = 0.0502$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=1-CHISQ.DIST(36.4,24,TRUE)"

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

$P(3.462 < S^2$

If we multiply the inequality by 4 on all the terms we got:

$P(3.462*4 < 4S^2 < 4*10.745)= P(13.848< \chi^2$ And we can find this probability like this: $P(13.848$ And we use the following code to find the answer in excel: "=CHISQ.DIST(42.98,24,TRUE)-CHISQ.DIST(13.848,24,TRUE)"

Answer:

Answer; Mean = p = 0.75

Standard deviation =0.0274

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = p = 0.75

Standard deviation = √ [ p ( 1 - p) / n ]

= √ [ 0.75 * ( 1 - 0.75) / 250]

= 0.0274

All of my teachers have told me that everyone remembers things best in groups of seven. so I would suggest to pick a continent and start in a corner and spend a couple of days studying seven countries in that area. also quiz your self every once in a while for extra help.
I hope this helps you
