Answer:

The slope is -1/5 and the y intercept is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=-1/5x+12

This is in the form

y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is -1/5 and the y intercept is 12

Answer:

-1/5 = slope

12 = y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m is always equal to the slope

b is equal to the y-intercept

which makes -1/5 the slope

and makes 12 the y-intercept

A 95% confidence interval for a population mean is computed from a sample of size 400. Another 95% confidence interval will be c

Anna [14]

Answer:

The interval from the sample of size 400 will be approximately One -half as wide as the interval from the sample of size 100

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the 95% confidence interval is dependent on the value of the margin of error at a constant sample mean or sample proportion

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

Here assume that $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \ and \ \sigma \$ is constant so

$E = \frac{k}{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $E \sqrt{n} = K$

=> $E_1 \sqrt{n}_1 = E_2 \sqrt{n}_2$

So let $n_1 = 400$ and $n_2 = 100$

=> $E_1 \sqrt{400} = E_2 \sqrt{100}$

=> $E_1 = \frac{\sqrt{100} }{\sqrt{400} } E_2$

=> $E_1 = \frac{1}{2 } E_2$

So From this we see that the confidence interval for a sample size of 400 will be half that with a sample size of 100

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Given :}}}}}}$

$\star \: \tt \cot \theta = \dfrac{7}{8}$

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{To \: Evaluate :}}}}}}$

$\star \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) }$

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Consider a $\triangle$ ABC right angled at C and $\sf \angle \: B = \theta$

Then,

‣ Base [B] = BC

‣ Perpendicular [P] = AC

‣ Hypotenuse [H] = AB

$\therefore \tt \cot \theta = \dfrac{Base}{ Perpendicular} = \dfrac{BC}{AC} = \dfrac{7}{8}$

Let,

Base = 7k and Perpendicular = 8k, where k is any positive integer

In $\triangle$ ABC, H² = B² + P² by Pythagoras theorem

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = {BC}^{2} + {AC}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = {(7k)}^{2} + {(8k)}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = 49{k}^{2} + 64{k}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = 113{k}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt AB = \sqrt{113 {k}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt AB = \red{ \sqrt{113} \: k}$

Calculating Sin $\sf \theta$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{AC}{AB}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{8 \cancel{k}}{ \sqrt{113} \: \cancel{ k } }$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \purple{ \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{113} } }$

Calculating Cos $\sf \theta$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{BC}{ AB}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{7 \cancel{k}}{ \sqrt{113} \: \cancel{k } }$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \purple{ \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{113} } }$

Solving the given expression :- 

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) }$

Putting,

• Sin $\sf \theta$ = $\dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{113} }$

• Cos $\sf \theta$ = $\dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ \bigg(1 + \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) \bigg(1 - \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) }{\bigg(1 + \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) \bigg(1 - \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg)}$

Using (a + b ) (a - b ) = a² - b²

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ { \bigg(1 \bigg)}^{2} - { \bigg( \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133} } \bigg)}^{2} }{ { \bigg(1 \bigg)}^{2} - { \bigg( \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133} } \bigg)}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{1 - \dfrac{64}{113} }{ 1 - \dfrac{49}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ \dfrac{113 - 64}{113} }{ \dfrac{113 - 49}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt { \dfrac { \dfrac{49}{113} }{ \dfrac{64}{113} } }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt { \dfrac{49}{113} }÷{ \dfrac{64}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{49}{ \cancel{113}} \times \dfrac{ \cancel{113}}{64}$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{49}{64}$

$\qquad \: \therefore \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) } = \pink{\dfrac{49}{64} }$
