Answer:

D) (3.67, 4.73)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetimecan be calculated using M±ME where

  • M is the average number of home owned (4.2)
  • ME is the margin of error from the mean

And margin of error (ME) can be calculated as

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in the given confidence level(1.96)
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample(2.1)
  • N is the sample size (60)

Putting the numbers we get ME=\frac{1.96*2.1}{\sqrt{60} }≈0.53

Then the 95% confidence interval is 4.2±0.53 or (3.67, 4.73)

Sec (a) + tan (a) = sec (a) – tan (a)
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a = π n for n element Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for a:

sec(a) + tan(a) = sec(a) - tan(a)

Subtract sec(a) - tan(a) from both sides:

2 tan(a) = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

tan(a) = 0

Take the inverse tangent of both sides:

Answer:  a = π n for n element Z

Which is a true statement? A. –11.6 > 7.52 B. –5.39 > –4.21 C. 8.7 < 8.63 D. –6.29 < –4.81
Natalija [7]
Well first lets review the information on these numbers. A negative number is less than 0. So the bigger the negative number, the smaller it actually is.

So...

a) -11.6 > 7.52 (A negative is not greater than a positive!)
b) -5.39 > -4.21 (The bigger the negative the smaller the number -Nope!)
c) 8.7 < 8.63 (Nope- you can tell just by knowing the common number)
d) -6.29 < -4.81 (YES!!)

hope that helps!

An acute angle, θ, is in a right triangle such that sin of theta is equal to 3 over 8 period What is the value of cot θ?
Serggg [28]

We want to find the value of cot(θ) given that sin(θ) = 3/8 and θ is an angle in a right triangle, we will get:

cot(θ) = (√55)/3

So we know that θ is an acute angle in a right triangle, and we get:

sin(θ) = 3/8

Remember that:

  • sin(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
  • hypotenuse = √(  (opposite cathetus)^2 +  (adjacent cathetus)^2)

Then we have:

opposite cathetus = 3

hypotenuse = 8 = √(3^2 +  (adjacent cathetus)^2)

Now we can solve this for the adjacent cathetus, so we get:

adjacent cathetus = √(8^2 - 3^2) = √55

And we know that:

cot(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(opposite cathetus)

Then we get:

cot(θ) = (√55)/3
