A student was performing an experiment that compared a new protein food to the old food for goldfish. He found the mean weight g

ain for the new food to be 12.8 grams with a standard deviation of 3.5 grams. Later he realized that the scale was out of calibration by 1.5 grams (meaning that the scale weighted items 1.5 grams too much). What should the mean and standard deviation be for the new food

Answer:

Mean = 11.3 grams

Standard Deviation = 3.5 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is affected by change of origin but standard deviation is not affected. Hence the scale weighed items 1.5 grams affect only the mean not standard deviation. Hence, the mean for new food item is 12.8 - 1.5 = 11.3 grams as weight gain by 1.5 gram due to wrong calibration and the standard deviation remains the same as 3.5 grams.

(\tan ^(2)\theta \cos ^(2)\theta -1)/(1+\cos (2\theta ))=
Vitek1552 [10]

(tan²(<em>θ</em>) cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1) / (1 + cos(2<em>θ</em>))

Recall that

tan(<em>θ</em>) = sin(<em>θ</em>) / cos(<em>θ</em>)

so cos²(<em>θ</em>) cancels with the cos²(<em>θ</em>) in the tan²(<em>θ</em>) term:

(sin²(<em>θ</em>) - 1) / (1 + cos(2<em>θ</em>))

Recall the double angle identity for cosine,

cos(2<em>θ</em>) = 2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1

so the 1 in the denominator also vanishes:

(sin²(<em>θ</em>) - 1) / (2 cos²(<em>θ</em>))

Recall the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(<em>θ</em>) + sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1

which means

sin²(<em>θ</em>) - 1 = -cos²(<em>θ</em>):

-cos²(<em>θ</em>) / (2 cos²(<em>θ</em>))

Cancel the cos²(<em>θ</em>) terms to end up with

(tan²(<em>θ</em>) cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1) / (1 + cos(2<em>θ</em>)) = -1/2
