Answer:

The mean is the average of how many points a player usually scores while median is the number that is the middle number of all the points she scored in games. mean takes into count all the games while median only takes into account one game.

Answer:

The mean is the average so whoever has the higher average gets the trophy instead of the median because that wouldn't be fair because a good player might have had a bad game.

Find all solutions in the interval [0,2pi).<br><br> cos 2x + sqrt(2) sinx=1
kykrilka [37]
<span>cos 2x + sqrt(2) sinx=1
</span><span>
Note that: cos 2x = cos^2x - sin^2x = (1-sin^2x) - sin^2x = 1 - 2sin^2x.
So, when alternatively written, you have the following equation:

</span>- 2sin^2x + sqrt(2)sinx + 1 = 1
- 2sin^2x + sqrt(2)sinx = 0

Then, let z=sin(x). So you get,

- 2z^2 + sqrt(2)z = 0
z(- 2z + sqrt(2)) = 0

Either z=0, or - 2z + sqrt(2) = 0 --->  z=sqrt(2)/2.
Then, since z=0 or z=sqrt(2)/2, therefore sin(x)=0, or sin(x)=sqrt(2)/2.

Then, for you remains just to list the angles. (Let me know if this is not fair or if you got questions.)

The grade appeal process at a university requires that a jury be structured by selecting eight individuals randomly from a pool
anygoal [31]

Answer: The probability of selecting a jury of all​ faculty=0.000071

The probability of selecting a jury of six students and two two ​faculty=0.3667


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of students = 9

The number of faculty members=11

The total number of ways of selecting jury of eight individuals=^{20}C_8=\frac{20!}{(20-8)!\times8!}=125970

The number of ways of selecting jury of all faculty=^9C_8=\frac{9!}{8!(9-8)!}=9

The probability of selecting a jury of all​ faculty=\frac{9}{125970}=0.000071

The number of ways of selecting jury of six students and two two ​faculty

=^9C_6\times ^{11}C_2=\frac{9!}{6!(9-6)!}\times\frac{11!}{2!\times(11-2)!}\\=84\times55=4620

Now, the probability of selecting a jury of six students and two two ​faculty

=\frac{4620}{125970}=0.03667
