Answer: option d. x = 3π/2
Solution:
function y = sec(x)
1) y = 1 / cos(x)
2) When cos(x) = 0, 1 / cos(x) is not defined
3) cos(x) = 0 when x = π/2, 3π/2, 5π/2, 7π/2, ...
4) limit of sec(x) = lim of 1 / cos(x).
When x approaches π/2, 3π/2, 5π/2, 7π/2, ... the limit →+/- ∞.
So, x = π/2, x = 3π/2, x = 5π/2, ... are vertical asymptotes of sec(x).
Answer: 3π/2

Answer:
11.51% probability that it will take less than 450 days to train all the contestants.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For the sum of n variables, the mean is and the standard deviation is
In this question:
Approximate the probability that it will take less than 450 days to train all the contestants.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 450.
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a pvalue of 0.1151
11.51% probability that it will take less than 450 days to train all the contestants.
