Answer:

Decision is reject the H_0 as There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean time is less then 5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The mean waiting time for a bus during rush hour is less than 5 minutes.

Thus the null hypothesis is:

H_0: \mu\geq 5

H_1: \mu< 5

A random sample of 20 waiting times has a mean of 3.7 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.1 minutes. At α = 0.01,

Now use the table to find the z value, where α = 0.01,

t_L = -2.3264

The value of n is 20, sample mean is 3.7, population mean is 5 and standard deviation is 2.1.

Now, use the formula: Standardized test statistic for z-scores =t=\frac{\bar x-\mu_0}{{s}/{\sqrt{n} }}.

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

t=\frac{3.7-5}{{2.1}/{\sqrt{20} }}

t=\frac{-1.3}{0.47}

t=-2.768465115\approx-2.77

As, the test statistic is in the reject interval, so reject H_0

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean time is less then 5 minutes.

Prove that:<br><br>cos20°cos40°cos80°=1/8​
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the double angle identity for sine

sin2x = 2sinxcosx

Consider left side

cos20°cos40°cos80°

= \frac{1}{2sin20} (2sin20°cos20°)cos40°cos80°

= \frac{1}{4sin20} (2sin40°cos40°)cos80°

= \frac{1}{4sin20} (sin80°cos80° )

= \frac{1}{8sin20} (2sin80°cos80° )

= \frac{1}{8sin20} . sin160°

= \frac{1}{8sin20} . sin(180 - 20)°

= \frac{1}{8sin20} . sin20°

= \frac{1}{8} = right side , thus proven
