Answer:   \bold{-\dfrac{7\sqrt2}{10}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that θ is between 270° and 360°, which means that θ is located in Quadrant IV ⇒ (x > 0, y < 0).  Furthermore, the half-angle will be between 135° and 180°, which means the half-angle is in Quadrant II ⇒ cos\ \dfrac{\theta}{2}

It is given that sin θ = -\dfrac{7}{25}  ⇒  y = -7 & hyp = 25

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find "x":

x² + y² = hyp²

x² + (-7)² = 25²

x² + 49 = 625

x²         = 576

      x   =  24    

Use the "x" and "hyp" values to find cos θ:

cos\ \theta=\dfrac{x}{hyp}=\dfrac{24}{25}    


Lastly, input cos θ into the half angle formula:

cos\bigg(\dfrac{\theta}{2}\bigg)=\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1+cos\ \theta}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{24}{25}}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{25}{25}+\dfrac{24}{25}}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{49}{25}}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{49}{50}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \dfrac{7}{5\sqrt2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \dfrac{7}{5\sqrt2}}\bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \dfrac{7\sqrt2}{10}

Reminder: We previously determined that the half-angle will be negative.

Answer:  c.  0.0778

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  X is the number of non-authentic names in her sample with parameter :

n= 5 and p=40% = 0.40

Binomial probability distribution, the probability of getting success in x trials :-

P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

We have ,

P(X=0)=^{5}C_0(0.40)^0(1-0.40)^{5}\\\\=(1)(0.60)^{5}\\\\=0.07776\approx0.0778

Thus , the correct answer is option c. 0.0778

Which is the only number that is GREATER than 1/2?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

A. 40/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Speech is human vocal communication using language. Each language uses phonetic combinations of vowel and consonant sounds that form the sound of its words (that is, all English words sound different from all French words, even if they are the same word, e.g., "role" or "hotel"), and using those words in their semantic character as words in the lexicon of a language according to the syntactic constraints that govern lexical words' function in a sentence. In speaking, speakers perform many different intentional speech acts, e.g., informing, declaring, asking, persuading, directing, and can use enunciation, intonation, degrees of loudness, tempo, and other non-representational or paralinguistic aspects of vocalization to convey meaning. In their speech speakers also unintentionally communicate many aspects of their social position such as sex, age, place of origin (through accent), physical states (alertness and sleepiness, vigor or weakness, health or illness), psychic states (emotions or moods), physico-psychic states (sobriety or drunkenness, normal consciousness and trance states), education or experience, and the like.
