<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The correct option is:
D. 40 feet.
<h2>Why?</h2>To solve the problem and calculate the width of the river, we need to assume that the distance from A to B and the angle formed between that distance and the distance from A to the other point (C) is equal to 90°, meaning that we are working with a right triangle, also, we need to use the given angle which is equal to 34°. So, to solve the problem we can use the following trigonometric relation:
Where,
alpha is the given angle, 34°
Adjacent is the distance from A to B, which is equal to 60 feet.
Opposite is the distance from A to C which is also equal to the width of the river.
So, substituting and calculating we have:
Hence, we have that the correct option is:
D. 40 feet.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
2.28% probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or higher
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
What is the probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or higher?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 110. So
has a pvalue of 0.0228
2.28% probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or higher
