I need help solving this problem. It tells me that I could use any method provided above but I don't really get it. Could someone help?
The Problem:
You have to be careful when using a ladder. If you place the ladder too close to the wall, it could tip over. If you place the ladder too far from the wall, it could slide down. To prevent this, safety experts recommend the 4-to-1 Rule: for every 4 feet you want to go up the wall, place the base of the ladder one foot away from the wall.
The longest ladder available at many hardware stores is 40 feet. What is the highest you could reach with this ladder?
The problem gives me three methods to pick from to solve the problem. Each method had a clue underneath.
Hints:
Method 1: Know that the height must be 4x the base. Also know that hypotenuse is the longest side, so height must be shorter than 40 (and base must be shorter than 10 feet).
Method 2: Base^2+Height^2=40^2
Height= 4 • base
Method 3:
Base^2+Height^2=40^2
Base= 0.25 • height
The answers this problem asks for is:
The base, height and length.
Answer:
The highest you could reach with this ladder is 30 feet or 9.14 meters.

In the United States, the mean and standard deviation of adult men's heights are 70 inches (5 feet 10 inches) and 4 inches, respectively. Suppose the American adult men's heights have a normal distribution Whe probability that a randomly chosen American man is taller than 6 feet (72 inches) is equal to:___________. (round off to fourth decimal place, use the given table)
a. 0.6853
b. 0.0062
c. 0.3085
d.0.6915
e. None of these
Answer:
[tex]P(X>72)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{72-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{72-70}{4})=P(z>0.5)[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table:
[tex]P(z>0.5)=1-P(z<0.5)= 1- 0.69146= 0.3085[/tex]
And the best solution would be:
c. 0.3085
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can convert all the values to inches in order to standardize the solution:
[tex] 5ft * \frac{12 in}{1ft}= 60 in[/tex]
[tex] 6ft * \frac{12 in}{1ft}= 72 in[/tex]
Let X the random variable that represent the heights of US mens, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
[tex]X \sim N(70,4)[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu=70[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=4[/tex]
We are interested on this probability
[tex]P(X>72)[/tex]
We can use the z score formula given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
Using this formula we got:
[tex]P(X>72)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{72-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{72-70}{4})=P(z>0.5)[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table:
[tex]P(z>0.5)=1-P(z<0.5)= 1- 0.69146= 0.3085[/tex]
And the best solution would be:
c. 0.3085
Using the normal distribution, it is found that the probability that a randomly chosen American man is taller than 6 feet (72 inches) is equal to:
c. 0.3085
In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.In this problem:
Mean of 70 inches, thus [tex]\mu = 70[/tex].Standard deviation of 4 inches, thus [tex]\sigma = 4[/tex].The probability of being taller than 72 inches is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 72, thus:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{72 - 70}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.6915.
1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085
Thus, option c.

We are planning on introducing a new internet device that should drastically reduce the amount of viruses on personal computers. We think the price should be $39.99, but are not sure on the percentage of people that would buy it. We do some research and find the following information; Studies from the 1930’s indicate that percentage should be between 30% and 40% Similar products were launched recently at a price of $4,000 and nobody bought it. A nationwide poll on this type of product and price was run earlier this year, with percentages running from 75% to 80%. We are going to conduct an additional focus group before we launch the product. What should the sample size be if we want a 95% CI to be within 5% of the actual value?
Answer:
The sample size required is 289.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p be population proportion of people that would buy the product.
It is provided that the nationwide poll on this type of product and price was run earlier this year, with percentages running from 75% to 80%.
Assume that the sample proportion of people that would buy the product is, [tex]\hat p=0.75[/tex].
A 95% Confidence Interval is to be constructed with a margin of error of 5%.
We need to determine the sample size required for the 95% Confidence Interval to be within 5% of the actual value.
The formula to compute the margin of error for a (1 - α)% confidence interval of population proportion is:
[tex]MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
The critical value of z for 95% confidence interval is,
z = 1.96.
Compute the sample size required as follows:
[tex]MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\ \sqrt{\hat p(1-\hat p)} }{MOE}]^{2}[/tex]
[tex]=[\frac{1.96\cdot \sqrt{0.75(1-0.75)} }{0.05}]^{2}\\\\=(16.9741)^{2}\\\\=288.12007081\\\\\approx 289[/tex]
Thus, the sample size required is 289.

One day Pat Unger worked for a total of 8
hours. She worked 3 hours more in the after-
noon than she worked in the morning. How
long did she work in the afternoon?
Answer:
5.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no. of hours worked in morning by Pat = x hours
given that "She worked 3 hours more in the after-
noon than she worked in the morning"
No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = x + 3 hours
Total hours worked in the day = x + x+3 = 2x +3 hours (1)
It is given that Pat worked for 8 hours that day (2)
thus, using 1 and 2 we have
2x +3 = 8
=>2x = 8 - 3 = 5
=> x = 5/2 = 2.5
no. of hours worked in morning by Pat = x hours = 2.5 hours
No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = x + 3 hours = 2.5 + 3 hours
No. of hours worked in Afternoon by Pat = 5.5 hours --- Answer.
Solve the equation then write how many solutions there is in this problem: 8x-3+14=24x+5
Answer:
x = 0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation
8x − 3 + 14 = 24x + 5
(8x) + (−3 + 14) = 24x + 5
8x + 11 = 24x + 5
- 24
-16x + 11 = 5
-11
-16x = -6
-16x/-16 = -6/-16
x = 3/8
x = 0.375

Answer:
B. F(x) = 3(x - 2)² - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
→The function F(x) narrowed, meaning the absolute value being multiplied to the function is greater than 1.
→The function F(x) flipped over the x-axis, this means that the number being multiplied has to be a negative.
→The function F(x) shifted to the left 2 units, this means there needs to be a 2 being added.
→The function F(x) shifted downwards 2 units, meaning there needs to be a 2 being subtracted from the whole function.
This gives us the correct answer of "B. F(x) = 3(x - 2)² - 2."

Find the 1000th term for the sequence
Answer:
D. 7017
Step-by-step explanation:
if 24 is the first term, find 7x999, or 7x1000-7 and add 24
however a better way would be to use the formula
value=a+(n-1)d
a = the first term in the sequence (24)
n = the amount of terms you need (1000)
d = the common difference between terms (7)
In a study investigating the effect of car speed on accident severity, 5000 reports of fatal automobile accidents were examined, and the vehicle speed at impact was recorded for each one. For these 5000 accidents, the average speed was 42 mph and the standard deviation was 15 mph. A histogram revealed that the vehicle speed at impact distribution was approximately normal.
a. Roughly what proportion of vehicle speeds were between 27 and 57 mph?
b. Roughly what proportion of vehicle speeds exceeded 57 mph?
Answer:
(a) Roughly 68% of vehicle speeds were between 27 and 57 mph.
(b) Roughly 16% of vehicle speeds exceeded 57 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that in a study investigating the effect of car speed on accident severity, 5000 reports of fatal automobile accidents were examined.
For these 5000 accidents, the average speed was 42 mph and the standard deviation was 15 mph.
Let X = vehicle speed at impact
SO, X ~ Normal([tex](\mu=42,\sigma^{2} = 15^{2}[/tex])
Here, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population average speed = 42 mph
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 15 mph
Since, the distribution is approximately normal; so the 68-95-99.7 empirical rule states that;
68% of the data values lies within one standard deviation points.95% of the data values lies within two standard deviation points.99.7% of the data values lies within three standard deviation points.(a) Since, it is stated above that 68% of the data values lies within one standard deviation points, that means;
68% data values will lie between [ [tex]\mu-\sigma , \mu+\sigma[/tex] ] , i.e;
[ [tex]\mu-\sigma , \mu+\sigma[/tex] ] = [42 + 15 , 42 - 15]
= [57 , 27]
So, it means that roughly 68% of vehicle speeds were between 27 and 57 mph.
(b) We have observed above that roughly 68% of vehicle speeds were between 27 and 57 mph which leads us to the conclusion that (100% - 68% = 32%) of the data values will be outside this range.
It is stated that of this 32%, half of the data values will be less than 27 mph and half of the data values will be more than 57 mph.
This means that roughly 16% of vehicle speeds exceeded 57 mph.
Use z scores to compare the given values. Based on sample data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3259.6 g and a standard deviation of 722.4 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3031.2 g and a standard deviation of 495.9 g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1700 g or a female who weighs 1700 g? Since the z score for the male is zequals nothing and the z score for the female is zequals nothing, the female female male has the weight that is more extreme.
Answer:
Since the z score for the male is z=-2.1589 and the z score for the female is z=-2.6844, the female has the weight that is more extreme.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the z score, we use the following equation:
[tex]z=\frac{x-m}{s}[/tex]
Where m is the mean and s is the standard deviation.
So, the z score for a male who weighs 1700 g is:
[tex]z=\frac{1700-3259.6}{722.4}=-2.1589[/tex]
At the same way, the z score for a female who weighs 1700 g is:
[tex]z=\frac{1700-3031.2}{495.9}=-2.6844[/tex]
Finally, -2.6844 is farther from zero than -2.1589, so the female has the weight that is more extreme.

Given the following information, find the probability that a randomly selected dog will be a golden retriever or a poodle. Number of dogs who are poodles: 31, golden retrievers: 58, beagles: 20, pugs: 38a) 39.5%b) 60.5%c) 58.0%d) 46.9%
Answer: a) 39.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
For random selections, we assume that all the dogs have the same probability of being selected.
In this case, the probability will be equal to the number of golden retrievers divided the total number of dogs.
We have 58 golden retrievers, and the total number of dogs is:
31 + 58 +20 + 38 = 147
Then the probability is:
P = 58/147 = 0.395
If we multiply it by 100%, we obtain the percentage form:
0.395*100% = 39.5%
So the correct option is a.
