Answer:

<u>The correct answer is C. 14.6 feet</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given to solve the case:

Length of the ladder = 15 feet

Distance from the base of the wall = 3.5 feet

Using the Pythagorean theorem for finding the height, because this is a right triangle:

h² = Length of the ladder ² - Distance from the base of the wall ²

h² = 15 ²  - 3.5 ²

h² = 225  - 12.25

h² = 212.75

h = √ 212.75

h = 14.59

<u>h = 14.6 feet (Rounding to one decimal place)</u>

1. Sarah has an average of 92.5 for her 3 science tests. What does she need to make on the 4th test to get a 94% average. 
zheka24 [161]
1) set up a problem
you know you want to get an avg of 94 but how do you do avg in the first place. you add up the numbers then divde by the total number of numbers used lol

so \frac{92.5+x}{2}=94
92.5 is the avg number for the last 3 tests
"x" is the 4th test score which we want to find out
"2" is the total number of numbers being added together

so now lets get x to one side

92.5+ x=94*2 (multiply 2 to both sides)
92.5+x=188
x=188-92.5  (subtract 92.5 from both sides)
x= 95.5  this is the score she need to make to avg 94%

2) you can draw a tree diagram. for example Flower1 branches off into 3 diff greens and then each of those greens branch off into 2 for with or with babies breath.

or you can simple multiply 4*3*2. you can do this because all choices are included with no restriction

your total number of options is 24

tatuchka [14]

Answer: (15.263,\ 17.537)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information, we have

Sample size : n= 50

\overline{x}=16.40

s=4.00

Since population standard deviation is unknown, so we use t-test.

Critical value for  95 percent confidence interval  :

t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{49, 0.025}= 2.009575\approx2.010

Confidence interval : \overline{x}\pm t_{n-1, \alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

16.40\pm (2.010)\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=16.40\pm1.13702770415\\\\=16.40\pm1.1370\\\\=(16.40-1.1370,\ 16.40+1.1370)\\\\=(15.263,\ 17.537)

Required 95% confidence interval :  (15.263,\ 17.537)

Vladimir [108]

Answer: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Tim and Jim are working on a school project together.

Tim takes 10 hours to complete the school project.

If Jim worked alone, it would take him 15 hours

Let t be the time they both take if they work together.

Then, \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{\text{Time taken by Tim}}+\dfrac{1}{\text{Time taken by jim}}

\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3+2}{30}=\dfrac{5}{30}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow t=6

So, it will take<u> 6 hours</u> to complete the school project together .

A and B will take the same 10-question examination. Each question will be answered correctly by A with probability .7, independe
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

a) The expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B = 11 (7 + 4).

b) The Variance of the number of questions that are answered correctly by either A or B = 2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of questions in the examination = 10

Probability of A's answer being correct = 0.7

Probability of B's answer being correct = 0.4

The expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B:

           Probability of       Expected        

        Correct Answer       Value          Variance

A              0.7                     7 (0.7 * 10)    2.25

B              0.4                     4 (0.4 * 10)    2.25

Total expected value =    11

           Mean =                  5.5                2.25
