The distance covered by the hiker if he traveled a horizontal distance of 120 ft at and angle of 6° will be given by:
cos θ=adjacent/hypotenuse
let the hypotenuse be h, adjacent =120 ft, θ=6°, thus plugging in the values we shall have:
cos 6=120/h
h=120/cos 6
h=120.661 ft
Answer: 120.661 ft

malfutka [58]
<span>The answers are b = 5 square root of 3; b = -5 square root of 3. f(b) = b^2 – 75. If f(b) = 0, then b^2 – 75 ) 0. b^2 = 75. b = √75. b = √(25 * 3). b = √25 * √3. b = √(5^2) * √3. Since √x is either -x or x, then √25 = √(5^2) is either -5 or 5. Therefore. b = -5√3 or b = 5√3.</span>

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The correct answer to this is:

Nonrandom and biased

 

<span>The method of Li’s sampling has a tendency that some elements or portion in the population has no chance of selection. Further, it was not stated which portion of the population she obtained the sample thus we cannot accurately determine the probability of selection. This kind of sampling results in a bias. A biased sampling is a type of nonrandom sampling. </span>

Robert called two bowling centers, Fannin Lanes and Fun Times Lanes, to déterminé the cost to bowl. Fannin Lanes charges 2.50 pe
Archy [21]

Answer:

4 games

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Robert called two bowling centers, Fannin Lanes and Fun Times Lanes, to déterminé the cost to bowl.</em>

Let x number of games played

y represents total cost to bowl

  • Fannin Lanes charges 2.50 per games plus 2 for shoe rental

y = 2.50x + 2

  • Fun Time Lanes charges 2 per game plus 4 for shoe rental.

y = 2x + 4

<u><em>If total cost to bowl be same at both center</em></u>

2.50x + 2 = 2x + 4

2.5x - 2x = 4-2

        0.5x = 2

             x = 4

Hence, 4 games will the cost to bowl be the same at both center.

Two percent of the customers of a store buy cigars. Half of the customers who buy cigars buy beer. 25 percent who buy beer buy c
enyata [817]

Answer:

0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability that a customer neither buys beer nor buys cigars is given below;

Given that, the probabilities are

The customers who purchased cigars be 0.02

The customers who purchased cigars + beer 0.50

And, the customers who purchased beer + cigars be 0.25

Now the probabilities where the customer purchased both

= 0.05 × 0.02

= 0.10

The probability where the customer purchased beer is

= 0.01 ÷ 0.25

= 0.04

Now the probability where a customer neither buys beer nor buys cigars is

= 1 - 0.02 + 0.04 - 0.01

= 0.95

Kathi and Robert Hawn had a pottery stand at the annual Skippack Craft Fair. They sold some of their pottery at the original pri
grigory [225]

Answer:27 pieces were sold at the original price.

63 pieces were sold at the new price

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the original price.

Let y represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the new price.

They sold some of their pottery at the original price of​ $9.50 for each​ piece. This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the original price would be 9.5x

They later decreased the price of each piece by​ $2. This means that the new price was 9.5 - 2 = $7.5

This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the new price would be 7.5y

If they sold all 90 pieces and took in ​$729​, then the equations are

x + y = 90

9.5x + 7.5y = 729 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 90 - y into equation 1, it becomes

9.5(90 - y) + 7.5y = 729

855 - 9.5y + 7.5y = 729

- 9.5y + 7.5y = 729 - 855

- 2y = - 126

y = - 126/- 2 = 63

Substituting y = 63 into x = 90 - y, it becomes

x = 90 - 63 = 27
