Answer:

a\cdot b=-2000\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: |a| = 80, |b| = 50, the angle between a and b is 3π/4.

We need to find the dot product  a · b.

The formula of dot product is

a\cdot b=|a||b|\cos \theta

where, θ is the angle between a and b.

Substitute the given values in the above formula.

a\cdot b=(80)(50)\cos (\frac{3\pi}{4})

a\cdot b=4000\cos (\pi-\frac{\pi}{4})

a\cdot b=-4000\cos (\frac{\pi}{4})           [\because \cos (\pi-\theta)=-\cos \theta]

a\cdot b=-4000\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

a\cdot b=-\frac{4000}{\sqrt{2}}

Rationalize the above equation.

a\cdot b=-\frac{4000}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}

a\cdot b=-\frac{4000\sqrt{2}}{2}

a\cdot b=-2000\sqrt{2}

Therefore, the value of a · b is a\cdot b=-2000\sqrt{2}.

Artemon [7]
Ratio of the free throws completed to attempted free throws is given to be 4:7. This ratio should be equal to the ratio of the next case. Let x be the number of free throws attempted. The proportion takes a form of,                  
                    (4 completed / 7 attempted) = (12 completed / x attempted)
Solving for x gives x = 21. Thus, the answer is letter c. which is the second among the choices.

In an experiment you do a chi-square test comparing observed and expected progeny. Your calculated chi square is 0.375. With 1 d
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

It mean that the observed progeny is similar than the expected progeny. There is no a relationship between the categorical variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chi-squared test is used to test the relationship between categorical variables. A categorical variable is a non-numerical variable. The null hypothesis of the Chi-squared test is that categorical variables are independent; it means that the frequencies are not dependent on the variable. It is important to know that the Chi-squared test does not measure causality, it only measures the relationship. To reject the null hypothesis, you usually need a probability lower than 0.05, but in this case, the probability was way higher than 0.05, it was between 0.5 and 0.9.
