Answer: Required mean would be 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of girls G= 75

Number of boys B= 100

Probability that girls smoke = P₂ = 0.20

Probability that girls don't smoke = P'₂=1-0.20=0.80

Probability that boys smoke = P₁ = 0.30

Probability that boys don't smoke = P'₁=1-0.30=0.70

We need to find the mean of the sampling distribution of the difference in the sample proportion of girl smokers and boys smokers.

So, it becomes,

$E[P_1-P_2]=E[P_1]-E[P_2]\\\\=B\times P_1-G\times P_2\\\\=100\times 0.30-75\times 0.20\\\\=30-15\\\\=15$

Hence, required mean would be 15.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

L=132.66

36.18=W

Step-by-step explanation:

length=L

width=W

Area=A

A=L×W

L=11/3W

4800=11/3W×W

4800=11/3W²

3/11·4800=11/3W²·3/11

√1309.1=√W²

36.18=W

L=11/3×36.18

L=132.66

Answer 3.1

Here's the formula:

V= $\frac{lwh}{3}$

H=3 $\frac{V}{lw}$

3 · $\frac{37}{6x6}$ ≈ 3.08333

rounded to : 3.1

(1/1+sintheta)=sec^2theta-secthetatantheta pls help me verify this

Xelga [282]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to verify the equation:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+\sin\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta$

To start, we can multiply the fraction by (1 - sin(θ)). This yields:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+\sin\theta}\left(\frac{1-\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta}\right) = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta$

Simplify. The denominator uses the difference of two squares pattern:

$\displaystyle \frac{1-\sin\theta}{\underbrace{1-\sin^2\theta}_{(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2}} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta$

Recall that sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1. Hence, cos²(θ) = 1 - sin²(θ). Substitute:

$\displaystyle \displaystyle \frac{1-\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta$

Split into two separate fractions:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{\cos^2\theta} -\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta$

Rewrite the two fractions:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}\right)^2-\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\cdot \frac{1}{\cos\theta}=\sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta$

By definition, 1 / cos(θ) = sec(θ) and sin(θ)/cos(θ) = tan(θ). Hence:

$\displaystyle \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta$

Hence verified.
