An airplane pilot over the Pacific sights a ship wreck at an angle of depression of 5°. At this time, the horizontal distance from the airplane to the wreck is 4629 meters. What is the height of the plane to the nearest meter?





405 m

Answer:

The height of the plane is 405 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric Ratios

The situation can be represented as shown in the image below. The ground, the height H, and the direct distance to the plane to the shipwreck form a right triangle, where the trigonometric ratios stand.

Since the known distance is adjacent to the angle, and the required height is opposite to the given angle, we use the tangent ratio, defined as:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\ x=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \tan 5^\circ=\frac{H}{4629}[/tex]

We need to find H, so we solve for H:

[tex]H=4629\cdot\tan5^\circ[/tex]

H=405 m

The height of the plane is 405 meters

a hill rises 10 meters over horizontal distance of 8 meters
calculate the slope

4x-8 = 12
4x - 8 + 8 = 12 + 8
4x= 20

The Walt Disney Company, the production studio behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is trying to find the best release date for their new super hero movie. They are hesitating between the summer and winter holiday release, and they want to know if there is any difference between the earning potential during those seasons. The analytics division in the company examined a random sample of box-office data for movies released during the past 5 years in the USA and Canada and found that 52 out of 1258 movies with summer release date earned over 400 million dollars. They also counted that out of 545 movies released in the winter, 8 earned over 400 million dollars.
Over 4 million USD Under 4 million USD
Summer release 57 1251
Winter release 11 544
Total
1. We want to investigate whether there is a difference in the proportion of movies that eam over 400 million dollars for the two release seasons. Which hypotheses should we use?
2. Calculate the difference in the proportions of movies that eamed over 400 million dollars.
3. The paragraph below describes the set up for a randomization test, if we were to conduct a hypothesis test without using software. Fill in the blanks with a number.
We write Summer on_____cards and cards representing the movies with summer release date, and Winter on_____cards. Then, we shuffle these cards and split them into two groups one group of size_____representing the movies with box-office over 400 million dollars, and another group of size_____representing the rest of the movies. We calculate the difference in the proportions of movies that eaned over 400 million dollars during the two release seasons to get PSmmer PWinter. Finally, we build a histogram of these simulated dfterences.

Restless Leg Syndrome and Fibromyalgia
People with restless leg syndrome have a strong urge to move their legs to stop uncomfortable sensations. People with fibromyalgia suffer pain and tenderness in joints throughout the body. A recent study indicates that people with fibromyalgia are much more likely to have restless leg syndrome than people without the disease. The study indicates that, for people with fibromyalgia, the probability is 0.33 of having restless leg syndrome, while for people without fibromyalgia, the probability is 0.03. About 2% of the population has fibromyalgia. Create a tree diagram from this information and use it to find the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia.
