If cos ⁡θ=−8/17, and 180°θ<270°, what is sin θ?

Mathematics

Answer:

-15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

One method is to use Pythagorean identity.

sin² θ + cos² θ = 1

sin² θ + (-8/17)² = 1

sin² θ + 64/289 = 1

sin² θ = 225/289

sin θ = ±15/17

Since θ is in the third quadrant, sin θ < 0.  So sin θ= -15/17.

Another method is to draw a triangle in the third quadrant, with angle θ, adjacent side -8, and hypotenuse 17.  Use Pythagorean theorem to find the opposite side:

c² = a² + b²

17² = (-8)² + b²

b = -15

Therefore, sin θ = -15/17

The distribution of the amount of money in savings accounts for Florida State students has an average of 1,200 dollars and a sta
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of the sample mean amount of money in a savings account is approximately normal with mean of 1,200 dollars and standard deviation of 284.6 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Average of 1,200 dollars and a standard deviation of 900 dollars.

This means that \mu = 1200, \sigma = 900

Sample of 10.

This means that n = 10, s = \frac{900}{\sqrt{10}} = 284.6

The sampling distribution of the sample mean amount of money in a savings account is

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal with mean of 1,200 dollars and standard deviation of 284.6 dollars.
