The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the height h that the ladder reaches up the wall is L = StartRoot d squared + h squared EndRoot. What height on the wall will a 15-foot ladder reach if it is placed 3.5 feet from the base of a wall?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the height h that the ladder reaches up the wall is L = StartRoot d squared + h squared EndRoot. What height on the wall will a 15-foot ladder reach if it is placed 3.5 feet from the base of a wall?

L = √d² + h²

Answer 2

Height is equal to [tex]14.59[/tex] feet

Pythagorean theorem, the well-known geometric theorem that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle).

[tex]l=\sqrt{h^2+d^2}[/tex]

[tex]l=15[/tex] feet

[tex]d=3.5[/tex] feet

[tex]15=\sqrt{3.5^2+h^2}[/tex]

[tex]15=\sqrt{12.25+h^2}[/tex]

[tex]225=12.25+h^2[/tex]

[tex]212.75=h^2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{212.75}=h[/tex]

[tex]h\approx 14.59[/tex] feet

A shipping company selects 75 random packages to check their weight.It finds that 3 packages were weighed incorrectly. How many packages out of 3000 should the company predict have an incorrect weight?

Answers

Answer: 120 Packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

75 random packages are check

3 package is found faulty

So, the percentage of error is

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{75}\times 100=4\%[/tex]

i.e. 4% packages is faulty

For 3000 sample, expected faulty packages are

250 students in a high school senior class are surveyed about what majors they intend to declare in college. Of the 250 students, 100 plan to major in mathematics, 80 plan to major in computer science and 20 plan to pursue a double major in mathematics and computer science.

Let M be the even that a randomly selected student plans to major in mathematics and C be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in computer science.

What is P(M), the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?
What is P(C), the probability that a student plans to major in computer science?
What is P(M and C), the probability that a student decided to major in mathematics and computer science?
What is P(M or C), the probability that a student has chosen to major in mathematics or computer science?

Answers

Answer: Program C allows students to earn a Mathematics degree (B.A. or B.S.) by combining courses in the Department of Mathematics with courses from one other department.  In most areas of specializations, mathematical and/or quantitative courses in other departments are part of the math degree program.  All Program C students take a minimum of five core math courses:  Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, Introduction to Linear Algebra, and a proofs course, usually either Introduction to Abstract Algebra or Fundamental Properties of Spaces and Functions I.

2. A marketing firm is trying to estimate the proportion of potential car buyers that would consider


purchasing a hybrid vehicle


a. The firm would like their pilot study to have a margin of error that is no more than 4%. How many


people should be in the pilot study in order to meet this goal at the 95% confidence level?


In a sample of 600 potential car buyers, 376 indicated that they would consider purchasing a hybrid


gas/electric powered car.


b. What is the point estimate for the proportion of potential car buyers that would consider buying a


hybrid vehicle? Calculate this value.


c. Find the 95% confidence interval for the true population proportion of potential car buyers that


would consider purchasing a hybrid vehicle.


d. Name two ways we could reduce the margin of error (Hint: think about the sample size n and the


confidence level)

Answers

Answer:

a. The number of people that should be in the pilot study are 600 people

b. The point estimate is 0.62[tex]\overline 6[/tex]

c. At 95% confidence level the true population proportion of potential car buyers of hybrid vehicle is between the confidence interval (0.588, 0.6654)

d. Two ways to reduce the margin of error are;

1) Reduce the confidence interval

2) Use a larger sample size

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The given parameters for the estimation of sample size is given as follows;

The margin of error for the confidence interval, E = 4% = 0.04

The confidence level = 95%

The sample size formula for a proportion as obtained from an online source is given as follows;

[tex]n = \dfrac{Z^2 \times P \times (1 - P)}{E^2}[/tex]

Where, P is the estimated proportions of the desired statistic, therefore, we have for a new study, P = 0.5;

Z = The level of confidence at 95% = 1.96

n + The sample size

Therefore, we have;

[tex]n = \dfrac{1.96^2 \times 0.5 \times (1 - 0.5)}{0.04^2} = 600.25[/tex]

Therefore, the number of people that should be in the pilot study in order to meet this goal at 95% confidence level is n = 600 people

b. The point estimate for the population proportion is the sample proportion  given as follows;

[tex]\hat p = \dfrac{x}{n}[/tex]

Where;

x = The number of the statistic in the sample

n = The sample size

From the question, we have;

The number of potential car buyers, n = 600

The number of respondent in the sample that indicated that they would consider purchasing a hybrid, x = 376

Therefore, the point estimate, for the proportion of potential car buyers that would consider buying a hybrid vehicle, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = 376/600 = 0.62[tex]\overline 6[/tex]

c. The confidence interval for a proportion is given as follows

[tex]CI=\hat{p}\pm z\times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}[/tex]

Therefore, we get;

[tex]CI=0.62 \overline 6\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{0.62 \overline 6}\cdot (1-\hat{0.62 \overline 6})}{600}}[/tex]

C.I. ≈ 0.6267 ± 0.0387

The 95% confidence interval for the true population proportion of potential buyers of hybrid vehicle, C.I. =  (0.588, 0.6654)

d. The margin of error is given by the following formula;

[tex]MOE_\gamma = z_\gamma \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma ^2}{n} }[/tex]

Where;

[tex]MOE_\gamma[/tex] = Margin of error at a given level of confidence

[tex]z_\gamma[/tex] = z-score

σ = The standard deviation

n = The sample size

Therefore, the margin error can be reduced by the following two ways;

1) Reducing the confidence interval and therefore, the z-score

2) Increasing the sample size

There students Matthew,Thomson and Amos shared 15000 in the ratio 5:2:x respectively.If Matthew's share is 7500 calculate the value of x

Answers

Answer:

x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio= 5:2:x

Combined ratio= 5+2+x

                        = 7+x

Total amount of money= $15000

Let us apply the part to all method

Hence for Matthew whose share = $7500

5/7+x=  7500/15000

Cross multiply we have

7500*(7+x)= 15000*5

52500+7500x= 75000

Collect like terms we have

7500x= 75000-52500

7500x=22500

x= 22500/7500

x=3

Hence the value of x= 3

A store is having a sale where customers can buy one shirt and get a second shirt for 30% off. Kate wants to buy two shirts priced at $19 each. How much will she pay?

Answers

Answer:

$32.3

Step-by-step explanation:

First write 30% in the decimal form

30/100 = 0.3

than the equation written in the form

x = 19 + (19 - 0.3× 19)

x = 19 + ( 19 - 5.7)

x = 19 + 13.3

x =$ 32.3

So, Kate will pay $32.3

so substitute them in

[tex]14^2+b^2=50^2[/tex]

now you can solve

[tex]196+b^2=2500[/tex]

subtract 196 from both sides

[tex]b^2=2500-196[/tex]

subtract

solve for the square root

square root of 2304= 48

therefore b= 48 units

The school supply store is selling two different sizes of similar folders. The smaller folder is 6 inches wide and 9 inches
tall. The larger folder is 12 inches tall.
What is the perimeter of the larger folder?

Answers

Answer:

The perimeter of the larger folder is 40 in

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because it says the two folders are similar this means that the width of the larger folder is 8 inches because the scale factor is 4/3. You can see this when you divide the length of the larger folder by the length of the smaller folder. So, if you solve 8+12+8+12 to find the perimeter you will get 40 inches
