Answer:

csc theta = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

cos theta = 3/5

cos theta = adjacent side/ hypotenuse

Let adjacent side = 3 and the hypotenuse = 5

csc theta = hypotenuse/ opposite side

We need to find the opposite side

We know that this is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

(adj)^2 + (opp)^2 = (hyp)^2

3^2 + (opp)^2 = 5^2

9+ (opp)^2 = 25

Subtract 9 from each side

9-9+ (opp)^2 = 25-9

(opp)^2 = 16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt( (opp)^2) = sqrt(16)

opp = 4

csc theta = hypotenuse/ opposite side = 5/4

Refer to the figure below.

Assume that there are n correct measurements
$x_{i} , \, i=1,2, \, ... \, n$
Because each measurement has an error of 0.2 in, the actual measurements are
$x_{i} + 2$

From the figure, the analysis indicates that the correct mean is
μ = 3 in = 3*2.54 cm = 7.62 cm
The correct standard deviation is
2.934 in = 2.934*2.54 cm = 7.45 cm

Answer:
μ = 7.62 cm
σ = 7.45 cm
