Question
The following table shows the probability distribution of a discrete random variable \(A\), in terms of an angle \(\theta \).
Show that \(\cos \theta = \frac{3}{4}\).
Given that \(\tan \theta > 0\), find \(\tan \theta \).
Let \(y = \frac{1}{{\cos x}}\), for \(0 < x < \frac{\pi }{2}\). The graph of \(y\)between \(x = \theta \) and \(x = \frac{\pi }{4}\) is rotated 360° about the \(x\)-axis. Find the volume of the solid formed.
