Part 1:

Given that the length of the chord is 18 cm and the chord is midway the radius of the circle. 

Thus, half the angle formed by the chord at the centre of the circle is given by:

\cos\theta=\frac{\left( \frac{1}{2} r\right)}{r}= \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow\theta=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=60^o

Now, 

\sin60^o= \frac{9}{r}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow r= \frac{9}{\sin60^o} =10.392

Therefore, the radius of the circle is 10.4 cm to 1 d.p.


Part 2I:

Given that the radius of the circle is 10 cm and the length of chord AB is 8 cm. Thus, half the length of the chord is 4cm. Let the distance of the mid-point O to /AB/ be x and half the angle formed by the chord at the centre of the circle be θ, then

\sin\theta= \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ \theta=\sin^{-1}\left( \frac{2}{5} \right)=23.6^o

Now, 

\cos23.6^o= \frac{x}{10} \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=10\cos23.6^o=9.165\approx9.2cm


Part 2II:

Given that the radius of the circle is 10cm and the angle distended is 80 degrees. Let half the length of chord CD be y, then:

\sin40^o= \frac{y}{10}  \\  \\  \\ \Rightarrow y=10\sin40^o=6.428

Thus, the length of chord CD = 2(6.428) = 12.856 which is approximately 12.9 cm.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

P(25

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(0

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(0

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem'

Let X the random variable that represent the hous spent studying the week before final exams of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(25,6)  

Where \mu=25 and \sigma=6

We are interested on this probability

P(25

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(25

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(0

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.
