Linda collects a random sample of 12 of the 98 Wildness Club members ages. She makes an inference that most wilderness club memb

ers are between 20 and 40 years old. Describe what a box plot that would confirm Linda's inference should look like.

Answer: The description of the box plot is below.

First, the ends of the box plot should be just before 20 and past 40. If most of the values are between 20 and 40, the ends of the box plot should be just outside of those.

Second, the inner box of the box plot should definitely be between 20 and 40. The box contains 50% of the values, we would want this inside the given range of 20 to 40.

I need help with questions #7 and #8 plz

Answer:

7. A = 40.8 deg; B = 60.6 deg; C = 78.6 deg

8. A = 20.7 deg; B = 127.2 deg; C = 32.1 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Cosines

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$

You know the lengths of the sides, so you know a, b, and c. You can use the law of cosines to find C, the measure of angle C.

Then you can use the law of cosines again for each of the other angles. An easier way to solve for angles A and B is, after solving for C with the law of cosines, solve for either A or B with the law of sines and solve for the last angle by the fact that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 deg.

7.

We use the law of cosines to find C.

$18^2 = 12^2 + 16^2 - 2(12)(16) \cos C$

$324 = 144 + 256 - 384 \cos C$

$-384 \cos C = -76$

$\cos C = 0.2$

$C = \cos^{-1} 0.2$

$C = 78.6^\circ$

Now we use the law of sines to find angle A.

Law of Sines

$\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{b}{\sin B} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}$

We know c and C. We can solve for a.

$\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}$

$\dfrac{12}{\sin A} = \dfrac{18}{\sin 78.6^\circ}$

Cross multiply.

$18 \sin A = 12 \sin 78.6^\circ$

$\sin A = \dfrac{12 \sin 78.6^\circ}{18}$

$\sin A = 0.6535$

$A = \sin^{-1} 0.6535$

$A = 40.8^\circ$

To find B, we use

m<A + m<B + m<C = 180

40.8 + m<B + 78.6 = 180

m<B = 60.6 deg

8.

I'll use the law of cosines 3 times here to solve for all the angles.

Law of Cosines

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A$

$b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cos B$

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$

Find angle A:

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A$

$8^2 = 18^2 + 12^2 - 2(18)(12) \cos A$

$64 = 468 - 432 \cos A$

$\cos A = 0.9352$

$A = 20.7^\circ$

Find angle B:

$b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cos B$

$18^2 = 8^2 + 12^2 - 2(8)(12) \cos B$

$324 = 208 - 192 \cos A$

$\cos B = -0.6042$

$B = 127.2^\circ$

Find angle C:

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$

$12^2 = 8^2 + 18^2 - 2(8)(18) \cos B$

$144 = 388 - 288 \cos A$

$\cos C = 0.8472$

$C = 32.1^\circ$

Round each decimal 32.62 tenths place

Tresset [83]

Answer:

32.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the decimal in the hundredths place in 32.62

If the number is 0-4, round down. If the number is 5-9, round up.

In 32.62, the number in the hundredths place is 2. So, we round down to 32.6
