Answer:

Cot(theta) = - 0.75 or -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is 5

The y value is 4

We need to find the corresponding x value.

x^2 + y^2 = z^2

X = ?

y = 4

z = 5

x^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

x^2 + 16 = 25

x^2 = 9

Now in this case, you are in quadrant 2, so the x value is - 3

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(9)

x = - 3

The cot value is the adjacent (x value) / the opposite ( y ) value

Cot(theta) = -3/4

cot(theta) = -0.75

Answer:

cotθ = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

sinθ = 4/5

θ is in Quadrant II, so cosθ < 0

<u>Recall:</u>

cotθ = cosθ/sinθ

cos²θ + sin²θ = 1

<u>Determine cosθ:</u>

cosθ = -√(1-sin²θ) = -√(1-(4/5)²) = -√(1-16/25) = -√(9/25) = -3/5

<u />

<u>Determine cotθ:</u>

cotθ = cosθ/sinθ = (-3/5)/(4/5) = (-3/5)(5/4) = -15/20 = -3/4

harina [27]

Answer:

The interval is (.0817, .118).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make this interval! The easy way is to go to STAT->TEST->A, 1-prop z-int, but I will show the long way.

<u>1. Conditions</u>

First we must check the conditions.

<em>Randomization condition: </em>The sample is given to be random, so we can assume independence.

<em>Success/failure condition: </em>Both np>10 and nq>10 must be met.

  • np = 1030(103/1030) = 103 ✓
  • nq = 1030(927/1030) = 927 ✓

<em>10% condition: </em>The sample cannot be greater than 10% of the population.

  • 10n < N, 10(1030) < 200000 ✓

All conditions are met, so we can use <u>a 1-proportion z-interval</u> to represent the data.

<u></u>

<u>2. Mechanics</u>

<u>Find </u>\hat{p}<u>, the sample proportion.</u>

103/1030 = .1

\hat{q}, then, the probability of not p, is 1 - .1 = .9

<u>Find z* (z star), the critical z-value.</u>

You can do this on your calculator using 2nd->VARS->3 (or you can memorize it - it's 1.96. Winky face.) This is called the invNorm function, that takes the left side area under the normal curve. But what do we plug in to the invNorm function?

invNorm(.975) = 1.96

<u>Plug values into the equation.</u>

\hat{p} ± z*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}\hat{q}}{n} }

.1 ± 1.96\sqrt{\frac{.1*.9}{1030} }

.1 ± 1.96(.00935)

.1 - .0183 = .0817

.1 + .0183 = .118

(.0817, .118)

<u>3. Conclusion</u>

Based on this sample, we are 95% confident that the proportion of people the company contacts who may buy something is between .0817 and .118. That isn't very likely, but maybe they'll make a little profit!

satela [25.4K]

An athletic director pays $90 for 12 sun visors for the softball team. The rate per sun visor is equal to $90 / 12 sun visor = $ 7.5 per sun visor. So the athletic director should pay ($ 7.5 per sun visor)*(15 sun visor) = $ 112.5
