To solve for proportion we make use of the z statistic. The procedure is to solve for the value of the z score and then locate for the proportion using the standard distribution tables. The formula for z score is:

z = (X – μ) / σ

where X is the sample value, μ is the mean value and σ is the standard deviation

 

when X = 70

z1 = (70 – 100) / 15 = -2

Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P1 = 0.0228

 

when X = 130

z2 = (130 – 100) /15 = 2

Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P2 = 0.9772

 

Therefore the proportion between X of 70 and 130 is:

P (70<X<130) = P2 – P1

P (70<X<130) = 0.9772 - 0.0228

P (70<X<130) = 0.9544

 

Therefore 0.9544 or 95.44% of the test takers scored between 70 and 130.

Find the exact value by using a half angle identity.tan 75°
kramer

The trigonometric function is given as

\tan 75^{\circ}

Apply the half angle identity to find the value of tan 75 ,

\tan (\frac{u}{2})=\frac{\sin u}{1+\cos u}

Here,

\tan (\frac{150^{\circ}}{2})=\frac{\sin150^{\circ}}{1+cos150^{\circ}}\tan (75^{\circ})=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1-\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{2-\sqrt[]{3}}{2}}^{}\tan 75^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt[]{3}}

Now rationalize the function.

\tan 75^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt[]{3}}\times\frac{2+\sqrt[]{3}}{2+\sqrt[]{3}}=\frac{2+\sqrt[]{3}}{4-3}=\frac{2+\sqrt[]{3}}{1}

Again simplify the trigonometric function,

\tan 75^{\circ}=2+1.732=3.732

Hence the answer is 3.732.

If 2(a^2+b^2)=(a+b)^2 then, <br> &gt;a+b=0,<br> &gt;ab=0,<br> &gt;a=b,<br> &gt;2a=b
Tasya [4]

Answer:

2·(a^2 + b^2) = (a + b)^2

2·a^2 + 2·b^2 = a^2 + 2·a·b + b^2

a^2 + b^2 = 2·a·b

a^2 - 2·a·b + b^2  = 0

(a - b)^2 = 0

a = b

Can you completely over a 4 ft by 8 ft area with 3 ft by 3 ft tiles?
Vika [28.1K]

Yes, but not without cutting some of the tiles into smaller pieces.

The length of the area is 8-ft.  That's (2 and 2/3) tiles long.

The width of the area is 4-ft.  That's (1 and 1/3) tiles wide.

So you can't just put down rows and columns of whole tiles
and cover the whole area.
______________________________________

Another way to look at it:

-- The area of the whole big plot is  (8 x 4) = 32 square feet.

-- Each tile covers (3 x 3) = 9 square feet.

-- You can't cover 32 square feet with 9-square-feet pieces.
Either you have to cut something off, or else you have to let
something hang outside of the lines.
