Consider the attached figure. If AB has length 1, then BC has length sin(15°) and CD (the altitude of triangle ABC) has length sin(15°)·cos(15°).

By the double angle formula for sin(α), ...

... sin(2α) = 2sin(α)cos(α)

Rearranging, this gives

... sin(α)·cos(α) = sin(2α)/2

We have

... CD = sin(15°)·cos(15°) = sin(2·15°)/2

... CD = sin(30°)/2 = (1/2)/2 = 1/4

That is, the altitude, CD, is 1/4 the hypotenuse, AB, of triangle ABC.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a) 3.128

b) Yes, it is an outerlier

Step-by-step explanation:

The standardized z-score for a particular sample can be determined via the following expression:

z_i = {x_i -\bar x}/{s}

Where;

\bar x = sample means

s = sample standard deviation

Given data:

the mean shipment thickness (\bar x) = 0.2731 mm

With the standardized deviation (s) = 0.000959 mm

The standardized z-score for a certain shipment with a diameter x_i= 0.2761 mm can be determined via the following previous expression

z_i = {x_i -\bar x}/{s}

z_i = {0.2761-0.2731}/{ 0.000959}

z_i = 3.128

b)

From the standardized z-score

If [z_i < 2]; it typically implies that the data is unusual

If [z_i > 2]; it means that the data value is an outerlier

However, since our z_i > 3 (I.e it is 3.128), we conclude that it is an outerlier.
