<h3>Answer: Choice B \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}</h3>

===========================================================

Work Shown:

Angle theta is between 0 and pi/2, so this angle is in quadrant Q1.

Square both sides of the given equation

\sin \theta = \frac{1}{4}\\\\\sin^2 \theta = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2\\\\\sin^2 \theta = \frac{1}{16}

Then use the pythagorean trig identity to get

\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\\\\\cos^2 \theta = 1-\sin^2 \theta\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{1-\sin^2 \theta} \ \ \ \text{cosine is positive in Q1}\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{16}}\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{16}{16}-\frac{1}{16}}\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{16-1}{16}}\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{15}{16}}\\\\\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{\sqrt{16}}\\\\\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}\\\\

Round 0.248 to nearest tenth.
kupik [55]
0.248 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.2 because 4 comes after and if there is a number after the number that you are rounding that is less than 5, you keep the number and do not change it.

Suppose a special discount makes the price of Nike air max shoes 10% lower. As result, there is a 20% increase in the quantity d
Andrew [12]

It is evident from the problem statement that an overall price reduction of Nike air max shoes will lead to an increase in the demand for the shoe.

In Economics,  the relationship between price and demand is stated as follows <em>"If all other factors remain equal, the higher the price of a good, the </em><em>fewer</em><em> people will </em><em>demand</em><em> that </em><em>good</em><em>. In other words, the </em><em>higher</em><em> the price, the </em><em>lower</em><em> the </em><em>quantity</em><em> demanded and vice versa."</em>

<em />

In all, the Law of Demand tells us that if more people want to buy something, given a limited supply, the price of that thing will be bid higher, also of the price of something is low the demand will be high.

A researcher computes the definitional formula for SS, and finds that Σ(x − M) = 44. If this is a sample of 12 scores, then what
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Σ(x − M) = 44

where, M is mean.

Sample size = 12

The computational formula for sample variance is

s^2=\dfrac{\sum (x-M)^2}{N-1}

where, M is sample mean and N is sample size.

Substitute Σ(x − M) = 44 and N=12 in the above formula.

s^2=\dfrac{44}{12-1}

s^2=\dfrac{44}{11}

s^2=4.0

The sample variance is 4.0.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
