Answer: You bought 3.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation: Okay so it costs $12 to get two pounds of jelly beans. You divide 12 by 2 and end up getting 6. You then divide 21 by 6 and get 3.5 because each pound is 6. 2 pounds is 12, and 3.5 pounds is $21. I hope this helped! :P

Consider the following confidence interval interpretation: We are 98% confident that the true mean laptop screen size is between

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

This interpretation is incorrect because it states that 98% of the data is with in the confidence interval.

or 98% of the laptop have screen size between 19.2 and 21.4 inches

However, the interpretation would have been correct if it would have stated as - Value of the population mean i.e mean size of the laptop screen lies within the confidence interval.

Given: cosθ= -4/5 , sin x = -12/13 , θ is in the third quadrant, and x is in the fourth quadrant; evaluate tan 1/2 θ

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're looking for what the half angle of the tangent of theta is, I'm a bit confused as to why you think the angle in the 4th quadrant, x, is relevant. But maybe you don't know it isn't and it's a "trick" to throw you off. Hmm...

Anyways, the half angle identity for tangent is

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

There are actually 3 identities for the tangent of a half angle, but this one works just as well as either of the others do, so I'm going with this one.

If theta is in QIII, the value of -4 goes along the x axis and the hypotenuse is 5. That makes the missing side, by Pythagorean's Theorem, -3. Filling in our formula:

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{1+(-\frac{4}{5}) }$ which simplifies a bit to
