Answer:

Sin theta = -8/17 ≈ - 0.471

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangles on a Cartesian plane using a point are created by drawing a line from the point to the x-axis and a line to the origin (0, 0).

The angle of reference, in this case theta, is created at the origin.

Remember the trigonometry ratios can be remembered using SOHCAHTOA.

SOH is Sin ∡ = Opposite / Hypotenuse. The "A" means adjacent.

On a Cartesian plane, opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse change.

opposite = y

adjacent = x

hypotenuse = r

Sin ∡ = y/r

For the point P(15, -8), x =15 and y = -8.

To find r, use the equation of a circle: x² + y² = r²

Substitute x=15 and y= -8

x² + y² = r²

15² + (-8)² = r²

r² = 289

r = √289

r = 17

Substitute r=17 and y= -8 into the equation for Sine.

Sin ∡ = y/r

Sin theta = -8/17  Exact value

Sin theta ≈ -0.471   Rounded to three decimal places

Suppose that a company prints baseball cards. They claim that 30% of the cards feature rookies, 60% feature veterans, and 10% fe
liraira [26]

Answer:

H0: The distribution of players featured on the cards is 0.30 rookies, 0.60 veterans, and 0.10 All-Stars.

Ha: At least one of the proportions in the null hypothesis is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

On this case we need to apply a Chi squared goodness of fit test, and the correct system of hypothesis would be:

H0: The distribution of players featured on the cards is 0.30 rookies, 0.60 veterans, and 0.10 All-Stars.

Ha: At least one of the proportions in the null hypothesis is false.

And in order to test it we need to have observed and expected values. On this case we  can calculate the Expected values like this

E_{rookies}=50*0.3=15

E_{veterans}=50*0.6=30

E_{All stars}=50*0.1=5

The observed values are not provided. The statistic on this case is given by:

\chi^2 =\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i) -E_i}{E_i}

And this statistic follows a chi square distribution with k-1 degrees of freedom on this case k=3, since we have 3 groups.

We can calculate the p valu like this:

P(\chi^2 > \chi^2_{calculated})=p_v

And if the p value it's higher than the significance level we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. In other case we reject the null hypothesis.

An alloy consists of nickel, zinc, and copper in the ratio 2:7:9. How many pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that
Cloud [144]

ANSWER

Find out the  how many pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc.

To proof

As given

An alloy consists of nickel, zinc, and copper in the ratio 2:7:9.

the total part of the alloy are 18.

assuming one part be x.

thus

nickel part = 2x

zinc part = 7x

copper part = 9x

alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc.

than the equation becomes

7x = 4.9

x = \frac{4.9}{7}

x = 0.7

Therefore

nickel part = 2x

                  = 2× 0.7

                  = 1.4 lb

1.4 lb of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc.

Hence proved
