The average homicide rate for the cities and towns in a state is 10 per 100,000 population with a standard deviation of 2. If th

e variable is normally distributed, what is the probability that a randomly selected town will have a homicide rate greater than 8?

Answer:

P(X>8)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{8-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{8-10}{2})=P(Z>-1)  

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:  

P(Z>-1)=1-P(Z  

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 average homicide rate for the cities of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:  

X \sim N(10,2)  

Where \mu=10 and \sigma=2  

We are interested on this probability  

P(X>8)  

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(X>8)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{8-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{8-10}{2})=P(Z>-1)  

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:  

P(Z>-1)=1-P(Z

If sec0+tan0=p,then find the value of cosec0.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p=sec0+tan0

=1/cos0 + sin0/cos0

=(1+sin0)/cos0

square both sides

(1+sin)^2 /cos^2 = p^2

(1+sin)^2/(1 - sin^2 ) = p^2

(1+sin)^2/((1-sin)(1+sin)) = p^2

(1+sin)/(1-sin)=p^2

1+sin=p^2-p^sin

sin+p^2sin=p^2-1

sin(1+p^2)=(p^2-1)

sin=(1-p^2)/(1+p^2)

cosec=1/sin

=(1+p^2)/(1-p^2)
