Answer:

cos(x)= -0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If sinX = 0.6, and X is in Quadrant II,

sin(x)= 0.6 = 6/10

sin (x)= opposite side / hypotenuse

opposite side = 6 and hypotenuse = 10

use Pythagorean theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

10^2 = 6^2 +b^2

100 = 36 + b^2

Subtract 36 from both sides

64= b^2

b= 8

Adjacent side = 8

Cos(x)= adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos(x)= 8/10= 0.8

Cos is negative in second quadrant

so cos(x)= -0.8

To calculate for cos X given that sin X=0.6 and is in Quadrant we proceed as follows:
sin X=0.6
Thus implies that:
x=arcsin 0.6
x=36.97
given that X is in the Quadrant ii then the value of x will be:
180-36.97
=143.13
hence cos X will be:
cos X=cos 143.13
cos X=-0.8

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If there needs to be 4 teachers per 21 students, you would divide the total amount of students by 21 and multiply that answer by 4. SO...:

84 ÷ 21 = 4 groups of 21 students.

4 groups × 4 teachers = 16

*** Answer***

16 TEACHERS

Answer:

0 < 0.05, which means that we reject the null hypothesis, meaning that the air pressure of the balls is different of the target value of 7.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The air pressure of a particular ball has a target value of 7.9 PSI.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

$H_{0}: \mu = 7.9$

The alternate hypothesis is:

$H_{a}: \mu \neq 7.9$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

The hypothesis tested means that $\mu = 7.9$

Suppose the basketballs have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.20 PSI.

This means that $\sigma = 0.2$

When a shipment of basketballs arrive, the consumer takes a sample of 21 from the shipment and measures their PSI to see if it meets the target value, and finds the mean to be 7.3 PSI.

This means that $X = 7.3, n = 21$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{7.3 - 7.9}{\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{21}}}$

$z = -13.74$

pvalue:

We are testing that the mean pressure is different than the target value of 7.9, and since the test statistic is negative, the pvalue is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -13.74, which we find looking at the z-table.

$z = -13.74$ has a pvalue of 0.

2*0 = 0

0 < 0.05, which means that we reject the null hypothesis, meaning that the air pressure of the balls is different of the target value of 7.9.
