In a certain pond, 50 fish were caught, tagged, and returned to the pond. A few days later, 50 fish were caught again, of which

mario62 [17]

2 out of 50 were tagged.

Divide 2 by 50:

2/50 = 0.4 ( This is 4% of the fish were tagged).

Now divide the number of fish caught by the percentage that were tagged:

50 / 0.04 = 1250

The number of fish in the pond is C. 1250

Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 9090% of all males. (Accommodating 1

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Hip breadths less than or equal to 16.1 in. includes 90% of the males.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 14.5

Standard Deviation, σ = 1.2

We are given that the distribution of hip breadths is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.10.

P(X > x)

$P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 14.5}{1.2})=0.10$

$= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 14.5}{1.2})=0.10$

$=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 14.5}{1.2})=0.90$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(z < 1.282) = 0.90$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 14.5}{1.2} = 1.282\\x = 16.0384 \approx 16.1$

Hence, hip breadth of 16.1 in. separates the smallest 90% from the largest 10%.

That is hip breaths greater than 16.1 in. lies in the larger 10%.

Find sin θ and cos θ if tan θ= 1/4 and sin 0>0.

Serga [27]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \sin(\theta)= \frac{\sqrt{17}}{17}$

$\displaystyle \cos(\theta)= \frac{4 \sqrt {17} }{ 17 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find sin(θ) and cos(θ) given that tan(θ) = 1/4 and sin(θ) > 0.

First, since tan(θ) and sin(θ) are both positive, cos(θ) must be positive as well.

Recall that tangent is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.

Therefore, the hypotenuse is:

$h=\sqrt{4^2+1^2}=\sqrt{16+1}=\sqrt{17}$

So, with respect to θ, the opposite side is 1, the adjacent is 4, and the hypotenuse is √17.

Then it follows that:

$\displaystyle \sin(\theta)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{17}} = \frac{\sqrt{17}}{17}$

And that:

$\displaystyle \cos(\theta)= \frac{4}{\sqrt{17}} = \frac{4 \sqrt {17} }{ 17 }$
