Given:
<span>12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground.
The tree meets the ground at a right angle. 

When you visualize the scenario, the 12 foot wire would be the measure of the hypotenuse and the 10 feet off the ground will be the short leg or opposite. The long leg or adjacent is unknown. 

We need to solve for sine theta because the value of hypotenuse and opposite is given.

sin </span>θ = opposite / hypotenuse
sin θ = 10 feet / 12 feet
sin θ = 0.833
θ = 0.83 / sin
θ = 56°

The wire would meet the ground at approximately 56° angle.

A Sunday newspaper lists the 10 used car prices for a foreign compact, with age x measured in years and selling price y measured
Masteriza [31]

Question:

A Sunday newspaper lists the 10 used car prices for a foreign compact, with age x measured in years and selling price y measured in thousands of dollars. A Sunday newspaper lists the 10 used car prices for a foreign compact, with age x measured in years and selling price y measured in thousands of dollars.

Picture of data can be found in the picture attached.

Answer:

Slope = -1.71

Intercept = 22.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line usually takes the general form :

ŷ = mx + c

Where :

m = slope or gradient

c = intercept

Inputting the data into a linear regression calculator ;

The output is : ŷ = -1.70872X + 22.04985

Comparing the output to the general formula;

The slope (m):

m = -1.70872 = -1.71(2 decimal places).

The intercept (c):

c = 22.04985 = 22.05(2 decimal places).

The accompanying data are lengths (inches) of bears. Find the percentile corresponding to 65.5 in.
Jlenok [28]

Complete question is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Percentile is 74th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

All the lengths given are;

Bear Lengths 36.5 37.5 39.5 40.5 41.5 42.5 43.0 46.0 46.5 46.5 48.5 48.5 48.5 49.5 51.5 52.5 53.0 53.0 54.5 56.8 57.5 58.5 58.5 58.5 59.0 60.5 60.5 61.0 61.0 61.5 62.0 62.5 63.5 63.5 63.5 64.0 64.0 64.5 64.5 65.5 66.5 67.0 67.5 69.0 69.5 70.5 72.0 72.5 72.5 72.5 72.5 73.0 76.0 77.5

The number of lengths (inches) of bears given are 54 in number.

We are looking for the percentile corresponding to 65.5 in.

Looking at the lengths given, since they are already arranged from smallest to highest, let's locate the position of 65.5 in.

The position of 65.5 in is the 40th among 54 lengths given.

If the percentile is P, then;

P% x 54 = 40

P = (40 × 100)/54

P ≈ 74
