At a hot air ballon festival, Erica spots a red ballon due east at an angle of elevation of 36 degrees. She turns due west and s

ees a blue ballon at an angle of elevation of 51 degrees. If the altitude of the blue ballon is 296 meters, the altitude of the blue ballon is 461 meters, and Erica is 1.6 meters tall, find the distance between the balloons.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

The eastern balloon makes an elevation angle of 36^{\circ} and is positioned at a height of 461 m.

The western balloon creates an elevation angle of 51^{\circ} and is positioned at a height of 296 m.

Considering that Erica is 1.6 m tall, the effective height of the Red balloon becomes 459.4 m,

while the effective height of the Blue balloon ends up at 294.4 m.

Utilizing trigonometric principles,

\tan 36=\frac{459.4}{d_1}

\tan 51=\frac{294.4}{d_2}

d_1=632.30 m

d_2=238.4 m

Now calculating the distance separating the two Balloons,

d=d_1+d_2

d=870.70 m

The bar graph shows the numbers of reserved campsites at a campground for one week. What percent of the reservations were for Fr
Svet_ta [9500]

Answer:

66\frac{2}{3} \%

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached bar graph.

The bar graph illustrates the count of reserved campsites at a campground across a week.

Consequently, the total number of reserved campsites on Friday and Saturday will amount to (26 + 30) = 56.

Now, calculating the total reservations from Monday to Sunday gives us (5 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 26 + 30 + 9) = 84.

Therefore, the percentage of bookings for Friday and Saturday will be

\frac{56}{84} \times 100\% = \frac{200}{3}\% = 66\frac{2}{3}\%. (Answer)

A major department store chain is interested in estimating the mean amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit
Inessa [9000]

Answer: D) \$50\pm\$11.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the provided information, we have

Sample size: n= 15

sample mean: \overline{x}=\$50.50

Sample standard deviation: s= $20

Since the population standard deviation is not known, we utilize a t-test.

For a significance level of 95% confidence: \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical t-value : t_{n-1, \alpha/2}=t_{014,0.025}=2.145  [Using the Student's t-value table]

The required 95% confidence interval yields:-

\overline{x}\pm t_{n-1, \alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\ =\$50.50\pm(2.145)\dfrac{\$20}{\sqrt{15}}\\\\\approx \$50\pm\$11.08

Thus, the sought-after 95% confidence interval for the mean amount spent by credit card customers during their initial visit to the new store in the mall, assuming normal distribution of the spending amounts, is:

\$50\pm\$11.08

A fox sees a rabbit 35 feet away and starts chasing it. As soon as the fox starts moving the rabbit sees it and starts running a
zzz [9080]

The fox’s speed needs to exceed that of the rabbit to successfully catch up. Thus, the required speed for the fox is expressed as 35/t + 40.

The distance separating the rabbit from the fox is 35 feet.

The speed of the rabbit is 40 feet per second.

Fox's speed = F

To calculate a precise speed for the fox, a specific time for the pursuit must be provided.

Let’s denote the time as t.

Recall that:

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed × time

The distance the rabbit moves away from the fox after time t will be:

35 + (40 × t) = 35 + 40t

The distance traveled by the fox after time t is: fox speed × t = F × t.

To catch the rabbit, both the fox and rabbit must cover the same distance:

Rabbit's distance at time t equals Fox's distance at that time.

35 + 40t = Ft

To determine F, the fox's speed:

Dividing both sides by t yields:

(35 + 40t) / t = Ft/t

35/t + 40 = F

<pThus, the speed of the fox should be: 35/t + 40

To find out the exact speed of the fox, a specific time value must be provided.
