Answer:

Cosine of the smallest angle is 4/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that in the triangle ABC,  side a is 3, side b is 4 and side c is 5.

Sum of squares of two smaller sides.

3^2+4^2=9+16=25

Sum of squares of largest sides.

5^2=25

Since sum of squares of two smaller sides is equal to sum of squares of largest sides, therefore triangle ABC is a right angle triangle.

Hypotenuse = 5 units.

In a right angle triangle, the smallest angle has shortest opposite side.

Shortest side is a=3 It means angle A is smallest.

\cos \theta = \dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\cos (A) = \dfrac{AC}{AB}

\cos (A) = \dfrac{4}{5}

Therefore, the cosine of the smallest angle is 4/5.

2( 4x + 2) = 4x - 12(x-1)​
aksik [14]

Answer:

x=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute 2 into (4x+2) and -12 into (x-1)

8x+4=4x-12x+12

combine like terms

8x+4=-8x+12

add -8x on both sides

8x+8x+4=12

16x+4=12

subtract 4 on both sides

16x=8

divide both sides by 16

x=1/2

The Genetics & IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to increase the probability of conceivi
Reika [66]

Answer: The test statistic needed to test this claim= 10.92

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the probability of giving birth to a boy : p= 0.5

i..e The population proportion of giving birth to a boy =  0.5

As per given , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0: p\leq0.5

Alternative hypothesis :  H_a: p>0.5

Since H_a is right-tailed , so the hypothesis test is a right-tailed z-test.

Also, it is given that , the sample size : n= 291

Sample proportion: \hat{p}=\dfrac{239}{291}\approx0.82

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}} , where n is sample size ,  \hat{p} is sample proportion and p is the population proportion.

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{0.82-0.5}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5(1-0.5)}{291}}}\approx10.92

i.e. the test statistic needed to test this claim= 10.92

Critical value ( one-tailed) for  0.01 significance level = z_{0.01}=2.326

Decision : Since Test statistic value (10.92)> Critical value (2.326), so we reject the null hypothesis .

[When test statistic value is greater than the critical value , then we reject the null hypothesis.]

Thus , we concluded that we have enough evidence at 0.01 significance level to support the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy.
