Answer:

EB = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you can use the power of a point, in the situation where two secants intersect in the interior of a circle. The formula is as follows:

CE * ED = AE * EB

(This is applied specifically to this problem)

We can substitute the values given,

5 * (x - 4) = 3 * x

simplify,

5x - 20 = 3x

and solve.

2x - 20 = 0

2x = 20

x = 10

Since the value of EB is x, EB = 10.

A local car dealer claims that 25% of all cars in San Francisco are blue. You take a random sample of 600 cars in San Francisco
sammy [17]

Answer:

No, we can't reject the dealer's claim with a significance level of 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a local car dealer claims that 25% of all cars in San Francisco are blue.

You take a random sample of 600 cars in San Francisco and find that 141 are blue.

<u><em>Let p = proportion of all cars in San Francisco who are blue</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 25%   {means that 25% of all cars in San Francisco are blue}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p \neq 25%   {means that % of all cars in San Francisco who are blue is different from 25%}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z proportion</u> <u>statistics</u>;

                                  T.S.  = \frac{\hat p-p}{{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of 600 cars in San Francisco who are blue =   \frac{141}{600} = 0.235

            n = sample of cars = 600

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.235-0.25}{{\sqrt{\frac{0.235(1-0.235)}{600} } } } }

                               =  -0.866

<em>Now at 0.05 significance level, the z table gives critical values of -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test. Since our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of z so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that 25% of all cars in San Francisco are blue which means the dealer's claim was correct.

QUESTION 1: What are the values of cos α and tan α, if α is an acute angle in a right triangle: sin α = 40/41 -------- cos α = ?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Question 1:

cos a = 0.2195

tan a = 4.445

Question 2:

sin a = 0.8

tan a = 1.333

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3 /><h3>Question 1:</h3>

Given that;

sin a = 40/41

a = sin ⁻¹ (40/41)

a = 77.32°

Now we have to find the value of cos a and tan a:

a = 77.32°

cos 77.32° = 0.2195

tan 77.32° = 4.445

<h3>Question 2:</h3>

Given that;

cos a = 0.6

a = cos ⁻¹ (0.6)

a = 53.13°

Now we have to find the value of cos a and tan a:

a = 53.13°

sin 53.13° = 0.8

tan 53.13° = 1.333
