Answer:

The street light is 20 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question depends on a proportion. Keep your height of the object in one ratio and the length of the shadow in the other.

25/x = 75/60      Notice the height of the structure is on the left. The length of the shadow is on the right. Cross multiply

75x =  60 * 25     Combine the right

75x = 1500          Divide by 75

x = 1500/75

x = 20

The street light is 20 feet tall.

kykrilka [37]
The experiment probabilities are listed below:

One:  2 out of 20 = 2 / 20 = 0.1  or 10%

Four:  5 out of 20 =  5 / 20 = 1 / 4 = 0.25 = 25%

The theoretical probability of any single number is 1 out of 6 or about 17%.

The experimental probability for ones was less than and for fours it was greater than the theoretical probability.
