Answer:

3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

Step-by-step explanation:

To find altitude this is the same in trigonometry as finding the side and we use calculation below in finding the hypotenuse which is same term as side for the angle of depression just to double check that height (altitude is less than slope in calculation).

sin (32) = 0.9271838546

3600/0.9271838546 = 3882.725074

= 3883 ft to nearest tenth. = slope

Then cos (32)x3882.725074 = 3292.737608

= 3293 ft to nearest tenth = side

Answer:

a.P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\

b. E(x) = 0.3

c. S(x)=0.5196

d. E=5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the company won x bids follows a binomial distribution because we have n identical and independent experiments with a probability p of success and (1-p) of fail.

So, the PMF of X is equal to:

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\

Where p is 0.1 and it is the chance of winning. Additionally, n is 3 and it is the number of bids. So the PMF of X is:

P(x)=\frac{3!}{x!(3-x)!}*0.1^{x}*(1-0.1)^{n-x}\\

For binomial distribution:

E(x)=np\\S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}

Therefore, the company can expect to win 0.3 bids and it is calculated as:

E(x) = np = 3*0.1 = 0.3

Additionally, the standard deviation of the number of bids won is:

S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{3(0.1)(1-0.1)}=0.5196

Finally, the probability to won 1, 2 or 3 bids is equal to:

P(1)=\frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}*0.1^{1}*(1-0.1)^{3-1}=0.243\\P(2)=\frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!}*0.1^{2}*(1-0.1)^{3-2}=0.027\\P(3)=\frac{3!}{3!(3-3)!}*0.1^{3}*(1-0.1)^{3-3}=0.001

So, the expected profit for the company is equal to:

E=-10,000+50,000(0.243)+100,000(0.027)+150,000(0.001)\\E=5,000

Because there is a probability of 0.243 to win one bid and it will produce 50,000 of income, there is a probability of 0.027 to win 2 bids and it will produce 100,000 of income and there is a probability of 0.001 to win 3 bids and it will produce 150,000 of income.

A future value?
P present value 12300
R interest rate 0.052
K compounded quarterly 4
N time 1 year
So
A=12,300×(1+0.052÷4)^(4×1)
A=12,952.18

Good luck!

Roger is paid $50 to sell videos of a play to an audience after the play is
ikadub [295]

Answer:

0 ≤ v ≤ 230

Step-by-step explanation:

The function E(v)=50+2v models the amount of money Roger earns by selling v videos.

Roger is paid $50 to sell videos of a play to an audience after the play is performed. He also receives $2 for each video he sells.

Now, it is given that the play's audience consist of 230 people and each audience member buys no more than 1 video.

Therefore, the domain of the function will be given by  

0 ≤ v ≤ 230

here v = 0 when each audience buys zero video and v = 230 when each audience buys 1 video. (Answer)

Molly can use her mode to show that she is doing better than the other three students.

Ashlee’s mode is 94, Belen’s mode is 79, Molly’s is 98, and Sofia doesn’t have a mode. The highest is Molly, so she should use her mode to show she is doing better.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

C

given 1 /( 3 + √2 )

then rationalise the denominator by multiplying the numerator/ denominator by the conjugate of the denominator

the conjugate of 3 + √2 is 3 - √2

1 / (3 + √2 ) × (3 - √2 ) / (3 - √2 )

= (3 - √2 ) /( 9 - 2 ) = (3 - √2 ) / 7
