ok Nataszaa,
I am not trying to be harsh. Do you have to do them by hand - without using a statistics calculator.
We need to know what the rules are.
Here is a page to help you understand what you have to do.

If you need to do it by hand then you will need to draw up columns. I am too tired to show you that now. It is 3:40am here. but you will need to work out the means first anyway. Work out the means and then if you need more help either I or someone else will definitely help you some more.
Goodnight Natasza.
There are a number of different ways to do a question like this. Here are some ideas.

ok now I will give it a go.
$$\begin{array}{rlll}
cos^2\theta+sin^2\theta&=&1\\
cos\theta&=&\sqrt{1-sin^2\theta\\\\
3cosx-4sinx &=&1\\
3\sqrt{1-sin^2x}-4sinx &=&1\qquad &\mbox{ }\\
3\sqrt{1-sin^2x} &=&1+4sinx\qquad &\mbox{Square both sides }\\
9\times(1-sin^2x) &=&1+8sinx+16sin^2x\qquad &\mbox{}\\
9-9sin^2x &=&1+8sinx+16sin^2x\qquad &\mbox{}\\
0 &=&-8+8sinx+25sin^2x\qquad &\mbox{}\\
25sin^2x+8sinx-8 &=&0\qquad &\mbox{}\\
Let \;y=sinx&\\
25y^2+8y-8 &=&0\qquad &\mbox{}\\
y&=&\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64+800}}{50}\\
sinx&=&\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{16*9*6}}{50}\\
sinx&=&\frac{-8\pm 12\sqrt{6}}{50}\\
\end{array}$$
$$\underset{\,\,\,\,^{\textcolor[rgb]{0.66,0.66,0.66}{360^\circ}}}{{sin}}^{\!\!\mathtt{-1}}{\left({\frac{\left({\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{8}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\sqrt{{\mathtt{864}}}}\right)}{{\mathtt{50}}}}\right)} = -{\mathtt{48.406\: \!856\: \!678\: \!66^{\circ}}}$$
$$\underset{\,\,\,\,^{\textcolor[rgb]{0.66,0.66,0.66}{360^\circ}}}{{sin}}^{\!\!\mathtt{-1}}{\left({\frac{\left({\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{8}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\sqrt{{\mathtt{864}}}}\right)}{{\mathtt{50}}}}\right)} = {\mathtt{25.332\: \!938\: \!613\: \!029^{\circ}}}$$
These answers should be checked by substituting them back into the original equation but I am going to leave that to you. (I'm too tired)

*1) Ninja has been writing a lot of very good posts pertaining to using the web2 calculator. I think that these need to be kept. They are very good. this is an example of 1

Hi everyone,
Today our great answers were provided by Alan, Heureka, will85237, CPhill, AzizHusain and NinjaDevo. Thank you all.
Here are some interesting post for the day:
* 1) Using the web 2 calc for unit conversions. MAYBE this could go in reference material.
What do you think Ninja.
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/1505-91-convert-unit-of-measurement
* 2) Changing radians to degrees
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/how-do-turn-radians-to-degrees
* 3) Uni level Trigonometry
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/how-to-know-when-the-function-is-continuous
* 4) High level Trig
* 5) Is zero even or odd?
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/0-is-a-nbsp-odd-number-or-even-number-why-please-explain
* 6) Directed numbers and plotting on a number line. An excellent answer from Ninja.

7) I think this one was included yesterday but Heureka has added to it. (with cosh and sinh)

That is about it for today I believe. Thanks all.
