Answer:

12.08

Step-by-step explanation:

For each sunflower, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it germinates, or it does not. The probability of a sunflower germinating is independent of other sunflowers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Seventy-six percent of sunflower seeds will germinate into a flower

This means that p = 0.76

Samples of 800:

This means that n = 800

The standard deviation for the number of sunflower seeds that will germinate in such samples of size 800 is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{800*0.76*0.24} = 12.08

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow.

Answer:

\displaystyle y=2\sqrt{6}

\displaystyle x=2\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Trigonometric Ratios </u>

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios.

The longest side of the right triangle is called the hypotenuse and the other two sides are the legs.

Selecting any of the acute angles as a reference, it has an adjacent side and an opposite side. The trigonometric ratios are defined upon those sides.

The image provided shows a right triangle whose hypotenuse is given. We are required to find the value of both legs.

Let's pick the angle of 30°. Its adjacent side is y. We can use the cosine ration, which is defined as follows:

\displaystyle \cos 30^\circ=\frac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

\displaystyle \cos 30^\circ=\frac{y}{4\sqrt{2}}

Solving for y:

y=4\sqrt{2}\cos 30^\circ

Since:

\cos 30^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

\displaystyle y=4\sqrt{2}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle y=2\sqrt{6}

Now we use the sine ratio:

\displaystyle \sin 30^\circ=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

\displaystyle \sin 30^\circ=\frac{x}{4\sqrt{2}}

Solving for x:

x=4\sqrt{2}\sin 30^\circ

Since:

\sin 30^\circ=\frac{1}{2}:

\displaystyle x=4\sqrt{2}\frac{1}{2}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle x=2\sqrt{2}

The choices are not clear, but it seems like the correct answer is C.

\boxed{\displaystyle y=2\sqrt{6}}

\boxed{\displaystyle x=2\sqrt{2}}
