Approximately 9 out of every 50 people who saw a movie this week say they watched it on Netflix. Suppose we want to find the pro

bability that a randomly selected movie-goer saw a movie on Netflix this weekend. Express that probability in three ways: As a fraction, a proportion, and a percentage.

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>1. As a fraction: 9/50</u>
  • <u>2. As a proportion: x/1 = 9/50</u>
  • <u>3. As a percentage: 18%</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. As a fraction:</u>

Depart from the definition of probability: probability is the number of favoragle outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes:

  • Probability = number of movie-goers who say they watched a movie on Netflix this week / number of movie-goers that saw a movie this week

  • Probability = 9 / 50

<u>2. As a proportion:</u>

A proportion is the equality of two ratios. In this case you must set the ratio of people who say they watched it on Netflx, x, per every people who saw a movie this week, 1, equal to the ration 9 /50.

Hence, the proportion that shows the probability is:

  • x / 1 = 9 / 50

Where x is the probability.

<u>3. As a percentage</u>

You just have to multiply the probability by 100:

  • (9/50) × 100 = 18%

let sin(θ) =3/5 and tan(y) =12/5 both angels comes from 2 different right trianglesa)find the third side of the two tringles b)
statuscvo [17]

In a right triangle, we haev some trigonometric relationships between the sides and angles. Given an angle, the ratio between the opposite side to the angle by the hypotenuse is the sine of this angle, therefore, the following statement

\sin (\theta)=\frac{3}{5}

Describes the following triangle

To find the missing length x, we could use the Pythagorean Theorem. The sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. From this, we have the following equation

x^2+3^2=5^2

Solving for x, we have

\begin{gathered} x^2+3^2=5^2 \\ x^2+9=25 \\ x^2=25-9 \\ x^2=16 \\ x=\sqrt[]{16} \\ x=4 \end{gathered}

The missing length of the first triangle is equal to 4.

For the other triangle, instead of a sine we have a tangent relation. Given an angle in a right triangle, its tanget is equal to the ratio between the opposite side and adjacent side.The following expression

\tan (y)=\frac{12}{5}

Describes the following triangle

Using the Pythagorean Theorem again, we have

5^2+12^2=h^2

Solving for h, we have

\begin{gathered} 5^2+12^2=h^2 \\ 25+144=h^2 \\ 169=h^2 \\ h=\sqrt[]{169} \\ h=13 \end{gathered}

The missing side measure is equal to 13.

Now that we have all sides of both triangles, we can construct any trigonometric relation for those angles.

The sine is the ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse, and the cosine is the ratio between the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, therefore, we have the following relations for our angles

\begin{gathered} \sin (\theta)=\frac{3}{5} \\ \cos (\theta)=\frac{4}{5} \\ \sin (y)=\frac{12}{13} \\ \cos (y)=\frac{5}{13} \end{gathered}

To calculate the sine and cosine of the sum

\begin{gathered} \sin (\theta+y) \\ \cos (\theta+y) \end{gathered}

We can use the following identities

\begin{gathered} \sin (A+B)=\sin A\cos B+\cos A\sin B \\ \cos (A+B)=\cos A\cos B-\sin A\sin B \end{gathered}

Using those identities in our problem, we're going to have

\begin{gathered} \sin (\theta+y)=\sin \theta\cos y+\cos \theta\sin y=\frac{3}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{13}+\frac{4}{5}\cdot\frac{12}{13}=\frac{63}{65} \\ \cos (\theta+y)=\cos \theta\cos y-\sin \theta\sin y=\frac{4}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{13}-\frac{3}{5}\cdot\frac{12}{13}=-\frac{16}{65} \end{gathered}
