Angles A and B are complementary angles in a right triange. The value of cos(A) is 12/13. What is the value of Tan(A)

1 answer:

5 0

Using the pythagorean identity, we can find the value of sin(A)

cos^2(A) + sin^2(A) = 1
(12/13)^2 + sin^2(A) = 1
144/169 + sin^2(A) = 1
sin^2(A) = 1 - 144/169
sin^2(A) = 169/169 - 144/169
sin^2(A) = (169 - 144)/169
sin^2(A) = 25/169
sin(A) = sqrt(25/169)
sin(A) = 5/13

Which is then used to find tan(A)

tan(A) = sin(A)/cos(A)
tan(A) = (5/13) divided by (12/13)
tan(A) = (5/13)*(13/12)
tan(A) = (5*13)/(13*12)
tan(A) = 5/12

The final answer is 5/12

The manager of a local nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of 280 customers of the club. She would now like to deter

Lunna [17]

Answer:

$z = \frac{35.6-35}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{280}}}= 2.007$

$p_v = P(z>2.007) = 0.0224$

Since the p value is lower than the significance level given of 0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis on this case. And the best conclusion for this case is:

We (reject) the null hypothesis. That means that we (found) evidence to support the alternative.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given:

$\bar X = 35.6$ represent the sampel mean for the age of customers

$\sigma = 5$ represent the population standard deviation

$n = 280$ represent the sample size selected

We want to test if the mean age of her customers is over 35 so then the system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 35$

Alternative hypothesis $\mu >35$

The statistic for this case is given by:

$z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And replacing the data given we got:

$z = \frac{35.6-35}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{280}}}= 2.007$

We can calculate the p value since we are conducting a right tailed test like this:

$p_v = P(z>2.007) = 0.0224$

Since the p value is lower than the significance level given of 0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis on this case. And the best conclusion for this case is:

We (reject) the null hypothesis. That means that we (found) evidence to support the alternative.

Derek has a white cube and a red cube.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

1/72

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of getting a 4 on white cube is:

P(W) · P(4) = 1/2 × 1/6 = 1/12

P(R) · P(>4) = 1/2 × 2/6 = 1/6

multiply both probabilities: 1/12 × 1/6 = 1/72
