A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the wall. A. At what rate is the ladder sliding away from the wall when the base of the ladder is 10 feet from the wall

Answers

Answer 1

[tex]7.2\:\text{ft/s}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can apply the Pythagorean theorem here:

[tex]26^2 = x^2 + y^2\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)[/tex]

where x is the distance of the ladder base from the wall and y is the distance of the ladder top from the ground. Taking the time derivative of the expression above, we get

[tex]0 = 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt} + 2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

Solving for [tex]\frac{dx}{dt},[/tex] we get

[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt} = -\dfrac{y}{x}\dfrac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

We can replace y by rearranging Eqn(1) such that

[tex]y = \sqrt{26^2 - x^2}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt} = - \dfrac{\sqrt{26^2 - x^2}}{x}\dfrac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

Since y is decreasing as the ladder is being lowered, we will assign a negative sign to [tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]. Hence,

[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt} = - \dfrac{\sqrt{26^2 - (10)^2}}{10}(-3\:\text{ft/min})[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 7.2\:\text{ft/min}[/tex]

Suppose that, in the past, 40% of all adults favored capital punishment. Do we have reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased if, in a random sample of 15 adults, 8 favor capital punishment? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.1469 > 0.05, which means that there is no reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased, using a 0.05 level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that, in the past, 40% of all adults favored capital punishment. Test if the proportion has increased:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is still of 40%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.4[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion has increased, that is, is greater than 40%, so:

[tex]H_1: p > 0.4[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.4 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.4, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}[/tex]

Random sample of 15 adults, 8 favor capital punishment.

This means that [tex]n = 15, X = \frac{8}{15} = 0.5333[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.5333 - 0.4}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.05[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion of 0.5333 or more, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.05.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.05 has a p-value of 0.8531.

1 - 0.8531 = 0.1469.

The p-value of the test is 0.1469 > 0.05, which means that there is no reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased, using a 0.05 level of significance.

The method of tree-ring dating gave the following years A.D. for an archaeological excavation site. Assume that the population of x values has an approximately normal distribution.

1,2851,1871,2221,1941,2681,3161,2751,3171,275

Required:
a. Use a calculator with mean and standard deviation keys to find the sample mean year x and sample standard deviations.
b. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean of all tree-ring dates from this archaeological site. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

Answers

Answer:

a) The sample mean is 1260 and the standard deviation is 48.

b) The 90% confidence interval for the mean of all tree-ring dates from this archaeological site is (1230, 1290).

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values. So

[tex]\overline{x} = \frac{1285 + 1187 + 1222 + 1194 + 1268 + 1316 + 1275 + 1317 + 1275}{9} = 1260[/tex]

Standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the differences squared between each value and the mean, divided by the one less than the sample size. So

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{(1285-1260)^2 + (1187-1260)^2 + (1222-1260)^2 + (1194-1260)^2 + (1268-1260)^2 + ...}{8}} = 48[/tex]

The sample mean is 1260 and the standard deviation is 48.

Question b:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 9 - 1 = 8

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 8 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 1.8595

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.8595\frac{48}{\sqrt{9}} = 30[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1260 - 30 = 1230

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1260 + 30 = 1290

The 90% confidence interval for the mean of all tree-ring dates from this archaeological site is (1230, 1290).

45%of the total population of a village are males and there are 22000 females Find the male population of the village.​

Answers

Answer:

18000

Step-by-step explanation:

The 22000 females make up 55% of the population. So, we divide 22000 by 0.55 to get the total population.

22000 ÷ 0.55 = 40000

Now we take our total population and subtract 22000 to get the number of males in the population.

40000 - 22000 = 18000

The male population of the village is 18000.

Companies are starting to use 360-degree surveys to evaluate the performance of their employees. This approach uses annonymous feedback from a variety of people who work closely with the employee. People who fill out the survey could be coworkers, supervisors, subordinates, or even customers. It is different from a traditional performance review, which relies only on feedback from an employee's supervisor. Many prefer the 360-degree approach because it provides a more well-rounded perspective on how the employee performs in their job role. Supervisers can be biased because they do not interact with the employee in the same way that a customer or co-worker might. However, the 360-degree survey approach still relies only on subjective feedback, which does not always give a fair representation of the employee's work?

What is the probability of drawing yellow marble followed by a red marble from a bag containing 12 yellow marbles, 14 red marbles, and 15 green marbles if the first marble is not replaced?

a. 192/1,849
b. 18/43
c. 21/205

Answers

Answer:

c: 21/205

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of choosing a yellow marble first is 12/41 bc there are 12 yellow marbles and 41 marbles to choose from.

The probability of choosing a red marble is 14/40 bc there are 14 red marbles and 40 marbles to choose from( since you have removed the marble you first chose so there are 40 marbles left).

Multiplying these two together, 12/41 * 14/40 = 168/1640, simplified it's 21/205.

No because there are not to pairs of congruent corresponding angles
Yes because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles
No because the corresponding sides are not proportional
Yes because the corresponding sides are proportional

Answers

Answer:

Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are similar if they have the same angles. For triangle UVT on the left, we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. There is one missing angle there, so the sum of angles is

80 + 55 + missing angle = 180

subtract 80+55 = 135 from both sides

45 = missing angle

Therefore, the angles in UVT are 45, 55, and 80

Similar, for XWY,

missing angle + 45 + 55 = 180

subtract 45 + 55= 100 from both sides

missing angle = 80

The angles for XWY are 45, 55, and 80. The angles are the same for both triangles, and there are three pairs of congruent corresponding angles (45, 55, and 80). Therefore, the triangles are similar

Find the arc length of the 3/4 of a circle with a radius of 5

Answers

Answer:

7.5 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arc length of a sector is denoted as

[tex]\frac{x}{360}2\pi r[/tex], where x is the central angle of the sector.

Since the sector is 3/4 of a circle, the central angle will be 3/4 of 360 degrees.

3/4 of 360 is 270, so we have our central angle. We also have our radius which we can plug into the formula.

[tex]\frac{270}{360}2(5)\pi[/tex]

2 times 5 is equal to 10, and 270/360 simplifies to 3/4. 3/4 times 10 is equal to 7.5, so the answer is 7.5 pi
