Answer:

The angle of depression from Platform A to Platform B is $43.1^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure

The horizontal distance between the platforms is 500 feet i.e. BC = 500

The length of the zip-line is 685 feet i.e. AB = 685

We are supposed to find the angle of depression from Platform A to Platform B

Hypotenuse = 685

Base = 500

$Cos \theta = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\Cos \theta = \frac{500}{685}\\\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{500}{685})\\\theta = 43.11^{\circ}$

Hence the angle of depression from Platform A to Platform B is $43.1^{\circ}$

Answer: CONFOUNDING VARIABLES

Step-by-step explanation: Confounding variables are

unexpected external factor that affects both variables of interest, confounding variables usually gives the false impression that changes in one variable leads to changes in the other variable, when, in Actual, it is the external factor that caused the change being investigated. Confounding variables usually leads to wrong conclusions during research and experiments and are capable of causing biased outcomes when the real cause and effect relationship is not determined.

It costs 20 cents to receive a photo and 30 cents to send a photo from a cellphone. C is the cost of one photo (either sent or r

ddd [48]

Answer:

(a) PC(C)= $\left \{ {{0.6 \ \ \ \ x=20} \atop 0.4 \ \ \ \ {x=30}} \right. \\\ 0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ else$

(b) E[C] = 24 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost to receive a photo = 20 cents

Cost to send a photo = 30 cents

Probability of receiving a photo = 0.6

Probability of sending a photo = 0.4

We need to find

(a) PC(c)

(b) E[C]

Solution:

(a)

PC(C)= $\left \{ {{0.6 \ \ \ \ c=20} \atop 0.4 \ \ \ \ {c=30}} \right. \\\ 0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ else$

(b)

Expected value can be calculated by multiplying probability with cost.

E[C] = Probability × cost

E[C] = $0.6\times20 +0.4 \times 30 = 12 + 12 = 24\ cents$

Given matrix A below, and that A = B, find the value of the elements in B. A = 9 −2 3 2 17 0 3 22 8 b11 = b12 = b13 = b21 = b22

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

$b_{11}=9,b_{12}=-2,b_{13}=3,b_{21}=2,b_{22}=17,b_{23}=0,b_{31}=3,b_{32}=22,b_{33}=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given matrix

$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-2&3\\2&17&0\\3&22&8\end{array}\right]$

Let matrix B is

$B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}b_{11}&b_{12}&b_{13}\\b_{21}&b_{22}&b_{23}\\b_{31}&b_{32}&b_{33}\end{array}\right]$

It is given that

$A=B$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-2&3\\2&17&0\\3&22&8\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}b_{11}&b_{12}&b_{13}\\b_{21}&b_{22}&b_{23}\\b_{31}&b_{32}&b_{33}\end{array}\right]$
