Answer:
20.78feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The question made us to understand that the man is standing and also there is angle of elevation, then we need to draw a right triangle having a base equal to 36 feet with an angle from the base to the top of the pole which is 30 degrees.
tan= opposite side / adjacent side
Let height of the pole =h
Tan(30)= h/36
But tan 30degree= 1/√3
h= 36 × 1/√3
h= 20.78feet
Therefore, the height of the pole= 20.78feet

Distance traveled in clear weather = 50 miles
Distance traveled in thunderstorm = 15 miles
Let speed in clear weather = x
⇒ Speed in thunderstorm = x-20
Total time taken for trip = 1.5 hours
We need to determine average speed in clear weather (i.e. x) and average speed in the thunderstorm (i.e. x-20 ).
Total time taken for trip = Time taken in clear weather + Time taken in thunderstorm
⇒ Total time taken for trip = +
⇒ 1.5 = +
⇒ 1.5 =
⇒ 15*x*(x-20) = 10*[50*(x-20)+15*x]
⇒ 15x² - 300x = 500x - 10,000 + 150x
⇒ 15x² - 300x = 650x - 10,000
⇒ 15x² - 950x + 10,000 = 0
⇒ 3x² - 190x + 2,000 = 0
The above equation is in the format of ax² + bx + c = 0
To determine the roots of the equation, we will first determine 'D'
D = b² - 4ac
⇒ D = (-190)² - 4*3*2,000
⇒ D = 36,100 - 24,000
⇒ D = 12,100
Now using the D to determine the two roots of the equation
Roots are: x₁ = ; x₂ =
⇒ x₁ = and x₂ =
⇒ x₁ = and x₂ =
⇒ x₁ = and x₂ =
⇒ x₁ = 50 and x₂ = 13.33
So speed in clear weather can be 50 mph or 13.33 mph. However, we know that in thunderstorm was 20 mph less than speed in clear weather.
If speed in clear weather is 13.33 mph then speed in thunderstorm would be negative, which is not possible since speed can't be negative.
Hence, the speed in clear weather would be 50 mph, and in thunderstorm would be 20 mph less, i.e. 30 mph.
Answer:
Conclusion
There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean of the home prices from Ascension parish is higher than the EBR mean
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean for EBR is
The sample mean for Ascension parish is
The p-value is
The level of significance is
The null hypothesis is
The alternative hypothesis is
Here is the population mean for Ascension parish
From the data given values we see that
So we fail to reject the null hypothesis
So we conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean of the home prices from Ascension parish is higher than the EBR mean
