Archie and Veronic are located one mile (5280 ft) apart on the ground. They observe a blimp directly over the road between them.

Archie measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 53 degrees. Veronica measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 22 degrees. How far above the ground is the blimp?

Answer:

The height of the blimp above the ground = 1635.363039 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Archie and Veronica are located one mile (5280 ft) apart on the ground. So AV = 5280 feet.

Suppose the height of blimp above the ground is XB = h feet.

Archie measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 53 degrees. So angle ∠BAX = 53°.

Veronica measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 22 degrees. So angle ∠BVX = 22°.

Considering Right triangle ΔAXB, cot(A) = AX / XB

AX = XB*cot(A) = h*cot(53°) = 0.75355405*h

Considering Right triangle ΔVXB, cot(B) = VX / XB

VX = XB*cot(B) = h*cot(22°) = 2.475086853*h

We know AV = 5280 and AX + VX = AV.

So AX + VX = 5280.

0.75355405*h + 2.475086853*h = 5280.

3.228640904*h = 5280.

h = 5280 / 3.228640904 = 1635.363039 feet.

Hence, the height of the blimp above the ground = 1635.363039 feet.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

D. We can be 95% confident that the proportion of all cell phone users who use text messaging is between 73.1% and 76.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interpretation of a confidence interval of level x% means that we are x% sure that the interval contains the true mean of the population.

In this problem, we have that:

The population are all the cell phone users.

The 95% confidence interval is (73.1%, 76.9%).

Which of the following is an appropriate interpretation of the 95% confidence interval?

D. We can be 95% confident that the proportion of all cell phone users who use text messaging is between 73.1% and 76.9%.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

For school A: Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17, IQR=9.5

For school B: Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19, IQR=7.5

No, the box plots are not symmetric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given data sets are

School A : 9,14,15,17,17,7,15,6,6

School B : 12,8,13,11,19,15,16,5,8

Arrange the data in ascending order.

School A : 6,6,7,9,14,15,15,17,17

School B : 5,8,8,11,12,13,15,16,19

Divide each data set in four equal parts.

School A : (6,6),(7,9),14,(15,15),(17,17)

School B : (5,8),(8,11),12,(13,15),(16,19)

For school A:

Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17

Interquartile range of the data is

IQR=Q_3-Q_1=16-6.5=9.5

For school B:

Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19

Interquartile range of the data is

IQR=Q_3-Q_1=15.5-8=7.5

Part B:

The box plots are not symmetric because the data values are different. Five number summary and IQR of both the data set are different.
