A study was done to determine the stress levels that students have while taking exams. The stress level was found to be normally

distributed with a mean stress level of 8.2 and a standard deviation of 1.34. What is the probability that at your next exam, you will have a stress level between 9 and 10?

Answer: 0.1841

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean : $\mu=8.2$

Standard deviation : $\sigma = 1.34$

The formula to calculate z-score is given by :_

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For x= 9, we have

$z=\dfrac{9-8.2}{1.34}\approx0.60$

For x= 10, we have

$z=\dfrac{10-8.2}{1.34}\approx1.34$

The P-value = $P(0.6$

$=0.9098773-0.7257469=0.1841304\approx0.1841$

Hence, the probability that at your next exam, you will have a stress level between 9 and 10 = 0.1841

$(9\sin2x+9\cos2x)^2=81$

Taking the square root of both sides gives two possible cases,

$9\sin2x+9\cos2x=9\implies\sin2x+\cos2x=1$

or

$9\sin2x+9\cos2x=-9\implies\sin2x+\cos2x=-1$

Recall that

$\sin(\alpha\pm\beta)=\sin\alpha\cos\beta\pm\cos\alpha\sin\beta$

If $\alpha=2x$ and $\beta=\dfrac\pi4$ , we have

$\sin\left(2x+\dfrac\pi4\right)=\dfrac{\sin2x+\cos2x}{\sqrt2}$

so in the equations above, we can write

$\sin2x+\cos2x=\sqrt2\sin\left(2x+\dfrac\pi4\right)=\pm1$

Then in the first case,

$\sqrt2\sin\left(2x+\dfrac\pi4\right)=1\implies\sin\left(2x+\dfrac\pi4\right)=\dfrac1{\sqrt2}$

$\implies2x+\dfrac\pi4=\dfrac\pi4+2n\pi\text{ or }\dfrac{3\pi}4+2n\pi$

(where $n$ is any integer)

$\implies2x=2n\pi\text{ or }\dfrac\pi2+2n\pi$

$\implies x=n\pi\text{ or }\dfrac\pi4+n\pi$

and in the second,

$\sqrt2\sin\left(2x+\dfrac\pi4\right)=-1\implies\sin\left(2x+\dfrac\pi4\right)=-\dfrac1{\sqrt2}$

$\implies2x+\dfrac\pi4=-\dfrac\pi4+2n\pi\text{ or }-\dfrac{3\pi}4+2n\pi$

$\implies2x=-\dfrac\pi2+2n\pi\text{ or }-\pi+2n\pi$

$\implies x=-\dfrac\pi4+n\pi\text{ or }-\dfrac\pi2+n\pi$

Then the solutions that fall in the interval $[0,2\pi)$ are

$x=0,\dfrac\pi4,\dfrac\pi2,\dfrac{3\pi}4,\pi,\dfrac{5\pi}4,\dfrac{3\pi}2,\dfrac{7\pi}4$
