Answer:

Range = 13

Variance = 10.22

Standard deviation = 3.20

Since this data is time-series therefore, the measures of variation do not reveal anything about the pattern of hurricanes over time.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the number of hurricanes that occurred in each year in a certain region.

8 9 8 7 9 15 5 6 8 4 12 7 8 2

Range:

The range of the data set is found by

Range = Maximum value - minimum value

The maximum value in the data set is 15

The minimum value in the data set is 2

Range = 15 - 2

Range = 13

Variance:

To find the variance, first compute the mean of the data set.

Mean = Sum/n

Mean = (8+9+8+7+9+15+5+6+8+4+12+7+8+2)/14

Mean = 108/14

Mean = 7.714

The variance is given by

σ² = (x - mean)²/(n - 1)

σ² = (8 - 7.714)² + (9 - 7.714)²+ (8 - 7.714)² + (7 - 7.714)² + (9 - 7.714)² + (15 - 7.714)² + (5 - 7.714)² + (6 - 7.714)² + (8 - 7.714)² + (4 - 7.714)² + (12 - 7.714)² + (7 - 7.714)² + (8 - 7.714)² + (2 - 7.714)²/(14 - 1)

σ² = 10.22

Standard deviation:

The standard deviation of the data set is given by

σ² = √σ

σ² = √10.22

σ² = 3.20

Since this data is time-series therefore, the measures of variation do not reveal anything about the pattern of hurricanes over time.

If

Given:

In a right angle triangle θ is an acute angle and \tan\theta =\dfrac{3}{5}.

To find:

The value of \cos \theta.

Solution:

In a right angle triangle,

\tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

We have,

\tan\theta =\dfrac{3}{5}

It means the ratio of perpendicular to base is 3:5. Let 3x be the perpendicular and 5x be the base.

By using Pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse=\sqrt{Perpendicular^2+base^2}

Hypotenuse=\sqrt{(3x)^2+(5x)^2}

Hypotenuse=\sqrt{9x^2+25x^2}

Hypotenuse=\sqrt{34x^2}

Hypotenuse=x\sqrt{34}

In a right angle triangle,

\cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

\cos \theta=\dfrac{5x}{x\sqrt{34}}

\cos \theta=\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{34}}

Therefore, the value of \cos \theta is \dfrac{5}{\sqrt{34}}.

I Need Help thanks <br>:)?​
Feliz [49]

Answer:

6)  x = 40.5

8)  x = 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

6) 45/x = 20/18

simplify and cross-multiply to get:

45/x = 10/9

10x = 405

x = 40.5

8) 22/8 = x/6

11/4 = x/6

4x = 66

x = 33/2

x = 16.5

A uniform bar of length l and weight w is attached to a wall with a hinge that exerts a horizontal force hx and a vertical force
maria [59]
The answer is Hx = ½ Wsin θ cos θ
The explanation for this is:
Analyzing the torques on the bar, with the hinge at the axis of rotation, the formula would be: ∑T = LT – (L/2 sin θ) W = 0
So, T = 1/2 W sin θ. Analyzing the force on the bar, we have: ∑fx = Hx – T cos θ = 0Then put T into the equation, we get:∑T = LT – (L/2 sin θ) W = 0
