Draw a right triangle.

$tan(theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

$tan(theta) = \frac{10}{14}$

Arctangent (tan^-1) can be used to find theta.

$tan^{-1}(\frac{10}{14})=theta$

$theta\ is\ approx\ \boxed{36\ degrees}$

You need to move the decimal point to be at 1.

Since this is a decimal, the power will be negative.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The sample proportion, denoted by ^p, is given by the formula ^p= $\frac{x}{n}$ , where x is the number of individuals with a specified characteristic in a sample of n individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample proportion is used to determine sample mean, sample standard error and test the hypotheses about the population.

sample mean can be stated as p and sample standard error can be found using the equation $\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }$ where

n is the sample size

p is the sample proportion

And if n×p×(1-p)≥10, then sample is assumed large enough to assume normal distribution and apply statistical test.
