Answer:

angle made by the ladder with the ground is 59°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ladder AC is placed 30 inches from a wall

It touches the wall as a height of 50 meters from the ground.

We have to find ∠C.

From the right angle triangle ABC.

Tan C = $\frac{50}{30}$

Tan C = $(\frac{5}{3})$

C = $Tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})$

= 59°

Therefore, angle made by the ladder with the ground is 59°.

I don't know if you need the answer to how long the ladder is or what degree the ladder and ground form so I am going to give you both.

The ladder is 58.31 inches
The degree is 59.04

If you have any question let me know

Lesson 1-1: The periodic comet named Johnson has been seen at every return since its discovery in 1949, as shown in the table be

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Occurrence Year seen Difference

1 1949 -

2 1956 1956 - 1949 = 7

3 1963 1963 - 1956 = 7

4 1970 1970 - 1963 = 7

Difference between each successive term of year seen = 7 years

Therefore, there is a common difference of 7 years between each successive term.

Function defining the year seen will be a linear function and will increase in the same pattern. (multiple of 7 years)

2017 - 1970 = 47 (It's not the multiple of 7)

2018 - 1970 = 48 (It's not the multiple of 7)

2019 - 1970 = 49 (multiple of 7)

2020 - 1970 = 50 (It's not the multiple of 7)

Therefore, comet will be seen next in 2019.

Option (C) will be the answer.

If a person is born in 2005

Then difference between 2005 and 1949 = 56 years

Number of times comet seen after 1949 = $\frac{56}{7}=8$ times

Total number of comet seen in the lifetime = 8 times

The radius of the circular lens of a magnifying glass is 4 centimeters.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer: 50.24 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The radius of the circular lens of a magnifying glass = 4 centimeters

The area of a circle is given by :-

$\text{Area}=\pi r^2$ , where r is the radius of the circle.

Then the area of the circular lens of a magnifying glass is given by :-

$\text{Area}=\pi (4)^2=(3.14)(16)=50.24\text{ square centimeters }$

Hence, the area of the circular lens of a magnifying glass = 50.24 square centimeters.

Lyte wishes to study speed of Reaction Time to press a button in response to the onset of a lamp. The independent variable (V) i

Vaselesa [24]

Complete question:

Dr. Lyte wishes to study speed of Reaction Time to press a button in response to the onset of a lamp. The independent variable (V) is the color of the light produced by the lamp (red, orange, yellow, green, or blue) Since only 10 participants are available, she elects to administer the IV within-subjects with all 10 participants being exposed to all five levels of the color variable. The order of the color of the light presentation is to be counterbalanced. Using concepts from the textbook, why would Dr. Lyte need to use counterbalancing in this scenario?

Answer:

Here,

Independent variable (IV) is: the color of the light produced by the lamp (red, orange, yellow, green, or blue)

We are also told only 10 participants are available.

All 10 participants are being exposed to all five levels of the color variable in the same order.

Counterbalancing is said to be a technique used when establishing task order. It helps prevent introduction if cofounding variables.

Dr. Lyte will need to use counterbalancing technique in this scenario because some of the participants may be unable to understand difference in similar colours. Example some participants may not be able to differentiate between orange and red when the red colour comes after orange.

But using counterbalancing technique, Dr. Lyte can avoid such an error.

Which of the following predictions can be calculated using a geometric distribution?

snow_lady [41]

Answer: C

both a and b

Step-by-step explanation:

Both options A and B deals with the number of trials required for a single success. Thus, they are negative binomial distribution where the number of successes (r) is equal to 1.

The geometric distribution is a special case of the negative binomial distribution that deals with the number of trials required for a single success.
