Answer: 7.22
(note: this is a result after rounding. The result before rounding was 7.21875)
========================================================
Explanation:
Given Set of Values = {22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, 26}
Add up the values: 22+16+39+35+19+34+20+26 = 211
Divide that sum by 8 as there are 8 values: 211/8 = 26.375
The mean is 26.375
Now subtract the mean from each data value. Apply the absolute value to ensure the difference is never negative
|22 - 26.375| = 4.375
|16 - 26.375| = 10.375
|39 - 26.375| = 12.625
|35 - 26.375| = 8.625
|19 - 26.375| = 7.375
|34 - 26.375| = 7.625
|20 - 26.375| = 6.375
|26 - 26.375| = 0.375
Add up those results
4.375+10.375+12.625+8.625+7.375+7.625+6.375+0.375 = 57.75
Then divide by 8
57.75/8 = 7.21875
The mean absolute deviation of the prices is 7.21875
Rounded to two decimal places, it is 7.22
Since we're talking about money, it makes sense to round to the nearest penny.
Considering the situation described, the hypothesis tested are given as follows:
- The null hypothesis is

- The alternative hypothesis is

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>
At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the standard deviation is not less than $23, that is:

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is significant evidence t conclude that the standard deviation is less than $23, that is:

Answer: The answer is cosine of that acute angle.
Step-by-step explanation: We are to find the ratio of the adjacent side of an acute angle to the hypotenuse.
In the attached figure, we draw a right-angled triangle ABC, where ∠ABC is a right angle, and ∠ACB is an acute angle.
Now, side adjacent to ∠ACB is BC, which is the base with respect to this particular angle, and AC is the hypotenuse.
Now, the ratio is given by

Thus, the ratio is cosine of the acute angle.
