Answer:

$\cos{W} = \frac{9}{41}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine of an angle:

The cosine of an angle, in a right triangle, is the length of the side adjacent to this angle divided by the hypotenuse.

Length of the largest side:

The length of the largest side is 41, that is, the hypotenuse is 41. The hypotenuse is XW.

WY = 9.

This means that the length of the adjacent side to angle W is 9.

What ratio represents the cosine of ∠W?

Adjacent side has length 9, hypotenuse has length 41. So

$\cos{W} = \frac{9}{41}$

What is the equation of the following graph in vertex form?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The equation in vertex form is:

$y=(x-2)^2+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula of a parabola with vertex at $(x_{vertex},y_{vertex})$ is given by the equation in vertex form:

$y=a\,(x-x_{vertex})^2+y_{vertex}$

where the parameter $"a"$ can be specified by an extra information on any other point apart from the vertex, that parabola goes through.

In our case, since the vertex must be the point (2, 1), the vertex form of the parabola becomes:

$y=a\,(x-x_{vertex})^2+y_{vertex}\\y=a\,(x-2)^2+1$

we have the information on the extra point (0, 5) where the parabola crosses the y-axis. Then, we use it to find the missing parameter $a$ :

$y=a\,(x-2)^2+1\\5=a(0-2)^2+1\\5=a\,*\,4+1\\5-1=4\,a\\4=4\,a\\a=1$

The, the final form of the parabola's equation in vertex form is:

$y=(x-2)^2+1$

The data given to the right includes data from candies, and of them are red. The company that makes the candy claims that % of

Dafna1 [17]

Using the z-distribution, the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of red candies is of (7.84%, 33.18%). Since 33% is part of the interval, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the claim is wrong.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so the critical value is z = 1.96.

Researching this problem on the internet, 8 out of 39 candies are red, hence the sample size and the estimate are given by:

$n = 39, \pi = \frac{8}{39} = 0.2051$

Hence the bounds of the interval are:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2051 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2051(0.7949)}{39}} = 0.0784$

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2051 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2051(0.7949)}{39}} = 0.3318$

As a percentage, the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of red candies is of (7.84%, 33.18%). Since 33% is part of the interval, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the claim is wrong.
