This is the concept of trigonometry, we are required to calculate the number of floors the building has given the information above;
# floors=[height of the building]/[height of each floor]
height of each floor=17 ft
let the height of the building be,h.
h is given by;
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
theta=80
opposite=h
adjacent=75 ft
thus
tan 80=h/75
h=75 tan 80
h=425.35 ft
thus the number of floors will be:
425.35/17
=25.020≈25 floors

Refer to the sample data for pre-employment drug screening shown below. If one of the subjects is randomly selected, what is t

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

0.193877

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given to us is

<em><u>Pre-Employment Drug Screening Results</u></em>

Positive test result Negative test result

Drug Use Is Indicated Drug Use Is Not Indicated

Subject Uses Drugs: 38 12

Subject Is Not a drug user: 19 29

Now the total of this is = 38+19+12+29= 98

Now the probability of false positive is = 19/98= 0.193877

The <u>Subject Is Not a drug user </u> would suffer from a false positive. He is not a user and has a positive result.

If one basket contains five bottles each weighing 7 1/4 ANSYS and the other basket has six apples each weighing 6 1/2 ounces woo

Tems11 [23]

<em>Question:</em>

<em>If one basket contains five bottles each weighing 7 1/4 and the other basket has six apples each weighing 6 1/2 ounces. Which basket is heavier and by how much ?</em>

Answer:

The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples by $3\frac{3}{4}$ ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Bottles = 5$

$Weight(Bottle) = 7\frac{1}{4}$

$Apples = 6$

$Weight(Apple) = 6\frac{1}{2}$

Required

Determine which basket is heavy

and by how much?

First, we need the total weight of each basket.

For the bottles' basket

$Total\ Weight = Weight * Bottles$

$Total\ Weight = 7\frac{1}{4} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{29}{4} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{29 * 5}{4}$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{145}{4}$

$Total\ Weight = 36\frac{1}{4}$

For the bottles' basket

$Total\ Weight = Weight * Apples$

$Total\ Weight = 6\frac{1}{2} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{13}{2} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{13* 5}{2}$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{65}{2}$

$Total\ Weight = 32\frac{1}{2}$

By comparing both total weights, $36\frac{1}{4} > 32\frac{1}{2}$

Hence:

The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples

Calculating the difference:

$Difference = 36\frac{1}{4} - 32\frac{1}{2}$

$Difference = \frac{145}{4} - \frac{65}{2}$

$Difference = \frac{145 - 130}{4}$

$Difference = \frac{15}{4}$

$Difference = 3\frac{3}{4}$

Hence:

It weighs more by $3\frac{3}{4}$ ounces
