Step-by-step explanation:

an object and its shadow create a right-angled triangle.

2 objects and their shadows at the same time create therefore two similar right-angled triangular

triangles.

that means the angles are the same, and each side length of one triangle correlates to the corresponding side length of the other triangle by the same factor.

so, when we know the factor of one pair of sides, we can calculate the lengths of the others by using the same factor.

therefore,

1.57 × f = 50.5

f = 50.5 / 1.57 = 32.1656051...

the height of the tower is then

3.1 × f = 3.1 × 32.1656051... = 99.7133758... m ≈ 100 m

Consider two populations of coins, one of the pennies and one of quarters. A random sample of 25 pennies was selected, and the m
Rudik [331]

Answer:

d. No, the conditions for normality have not been met because the sample size for the pennies is not large enough and no information is given about the distributions of the populations.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this example, we learn that the sample taken of pennies was of 25, while the sample of quarters was of 35. According to the central limit theorem, a sample must be equal to or larger than 30 for the theorem to hold. The theorem states that when random variables are added, they tend towards a normal distribution even if the original variables themselves are not normally distributed. In this question, the sample of pennies is not large enough for the theorem to hold. On top of this, we have no information about the distribution of the populations. Therefore, the conditions for normality have not been met.

What is the answer please
just olya [345]

Answer:

RVS is equal to 180 - 26 degrees, or 154 degrees.

Bonus: I assume the next part of the question asks you to solve for x, where x is equal to that angle.  If so, then the answer is 15:

154 = 10x + 4

150 = 10x

x = 15
