Given that sin theta = 1/4, 0

Mathematics

Answer: cos(Θ) = (√15) / 4

Explanation:

The question states:

1) sin(Θ) = 1/4

2) 0 < Θ < π / 2

3) find cos(Θ)

This is how you solve it.

1) Use the fundamental identity (in this part I use α instead of Θ, just for facility of wirting the symbols, but they mean the same for the case).

(cos \alpha )^2 + (sin \alpha )^2 =1

2) From which you can find:

(cos \alpha )^2 = 1 - (sin \alpha )^2

3) Replace sin(α) with 1/4

=> (cos \alpha )^2 = 1 - (1/4)^2 = 1 - 1/16 = 15/16

=> cos \alpha =+/- \sqrt{15/16} = +/- (\sqrt{15} )/4

4) Given that the angle is in the first quadrant, you know that cosine is positive and the final answer is:

cos(Θ) = \sqrt{15} /4.

And that is the answer.

Diane's Tree Trimming Service has trimmed hundreds of trees in the Greater Denver area. The time it takes to trim a tree is norm
kkurt [141]

Answer:P(28.5And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.7

And in order to find these probabilities we use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

P(-0.7

So then the best answer would be 21.82 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the time it takes to trim a tree of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(32,5)  

Where \mu=32 and \sigma=5

We are interested on this probability

P(28.5

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:P(28.5And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.7

And in order to find these probabilities we use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

P(-0.7

 So then the best answer would be 21.82 %

Answer:

P(45

And we can find this probability with the following difference:

P(-0.714

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.714

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the number of gallons of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(47.5,3.5)  

Where \mu=47.5 and \sigma=3.5

You have read 4 of the books shown. Which choice shows 2 ways of writing the fraction of these books that you read?
Olegator [25]
  • Total books read: 4
  • Total books in list: 12

So it can be shown as:

\sf \dfrac{read \ books}{total \ books \ in \ list}

\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{4}{12}

on simplifying

\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{1}{3}

So, option 1 is correct.
