Suppose ten distinct, positive integers have a median of $10$. ("Distinct integers" means that no two integers are the same.)

What is the smallest the average of those ten integers could be?

Explain your answer in complete sentences.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8 (or 8.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the problem states the words: Distinct and positive.

That means that the smallest number we can use is 0.

We can make 10 blanks for 10 numbers for us to fill in.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Since 10 is an even number, and the median is not one single number, it will be the middle of the two numbers.

In this case, our two numbers are the 5th and 6th blank.

Any two numbers can be used, as long as they are the same actual value from 10.

Let us first put in the numbers we can, which are the numbers before the two middle blanks.

0,1,2,3, _ _ _ _ _ _

To find the median between two numbers, we can do:

(a+b) divided by 2 = median

We can use the smallest following number, 4. Then the 6th number will have to be 16 for 10 to be in the middle.

Also try the largest possible number for the 5th blank, 9. Then the 6th number will be 11.

4+16 and 9+11 both equal 20, and 20 divided by 2 is 10. So both of these work.

Now let's place the other numbers in for these two equations.

0,1,2,3,4,16,17,18,19,20

0,1,2,3,9,11,12,13,14,15

If we add the numbers of each together, we get:

0,1,2,3,4,16,17,18,19,20=100

0,1,2,3,9,11,12,13,14,15= 80

If we now divide each sum by 10 (to find the average) we get:

10

8

Since both of these were the most we could go, one with the 5th number as small as possible and one with the 5th number as large as possible.

Since the smaller answer we got was 8, the answer must be 8.

(I believe 0 is a positive integer because it doesn't carry a negative sign. If 0 is not a positive integer, the answer is 8.4. Use the same process

its C

One coffee maker's cost in 1983 was $20.85 if the current CPI is 153 option (a) is correct.

It is given that the CPI is currently 153 if a coffee maker costs $31.90 today. It is required to find how much did one cost in 1983.

What is CPI?

It is defined as the tool to measure inflation that indicates between two periods how much cost is increased. It can be represented by [tex]\rm CPI_t[/tex] for the given time 't'

The formula for finding the CPI:

[tex]\rm CPI_t = \frac{C_t}{C_0}\times 100[/tex]

Where [tex]\rm c_t[/tex] is the cost in the current market

           [tex]c_0[/tex] is the cost at the given period.

We have in the question:

[tex]\rm c_t = \$31.90\\\\\rm CPI_t = 153[/tex]

Putting these values in the CPI formula, we get:

[tex]\rm 153= \frac{31.90}{C_0}\times 100\\\\\rm c_0 = \frac{3190}{153} \\\\\rm c_0 = \$20.84 \approx \$20.85[/tex]

Thus, one coffee maker's cost in 1983 was $20.85 if the current CPI is 153.

Which of the following is the smallest number of users the researchers can survey to guarantee a margin of error of 0.05 or less at
the 99% confidence level? (Use p^ = 0.5)
a. 600
b. 650
c. 700
d. 750

Answers

Answer:  700  (choice C)

======================================================

Explanation:

At 99% confidence, the z critical value is roughly z = 2.576 which is found using a Z table.

We're given that [tex]\hat{p} = 0.5[/tex] as the sample proportion and E = 0.05 is the desired error.

The min sample size n is:

[tex]n = \hat{p}*(1-\hat{p})\left(\frac{z}{E}\right)^2\\\\n \approx 0.5*(1-0.5)\left(\frac{2.576}{0.05}\right)^2\\\\n \approx 663.5776\\\\n \approx 664\\\\[/tex]

Always round up to the nearest integer.

Unfortunately n = 664 isn't one of the answer choices. The next closest value is 700. It appears that your teacher wants to know a valid sample size that is the smallest of the answer choices, not necessarily the smallest ever possible.

[tex]\sf Probability \ of \ an \ event \ occurring = \dfrac{Number \ of \ ways \ it \ can \ occur}{Total \ number \ of \ possible \ outcomes}[/tex]

Can someone not just tell me the answer but how to do it pls!!!

Answers

Answer:

  B

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step of any problem solution is look at the given information. Here, we are given the equation of a line in (almost) standard form, and we want to match the equation with a graph. We notice that the coefficients of the variables are factors of the constant, so the intercepts are integer values easily found.

We can compare the line's intercepts to those shown on the graphs to choose the correct graph.

x-intercept

The x-intercept is found by setting y=0 and solving for x:

  -3x +5(0) = -15

  x = -15/-3 = 5

Only one graph shows a line with an x-intercept of (5, 0): graph B.

y-intercept

We can confirm graph B by finding the y-intercept. For this, we set x=0 and solve for y.

  -3(0) +5y = -15

  y = -15/5 = -3

Graph B also has a y-intercept of (0, -3), confirming it is the correct choice.

_____

Additional comment

Part of "look at the given information" is "look at the answer choices." What you look for is what makes one choice different from the others. Here, the lines have x- and y-intercepts of ±3 and ±5. The y-intercepts are the same for graphs A and B, and for graphs C and D.

However, the x-intercepts are different for all of them. This tells you that finding the x-intercept is the fastest way to find the correct graph.

A photographer needs a frame for an 8 x 10 inch picture, such that the total area is 168 in2. Calculate the width of the frame. Which of the following quadratic equations would be used when solving this?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of this rectangle is

(10 + 2x)(8 + 2x) = 168

80 + 20x + 16x + 4x² = 168

4x² + 36x = 88

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is an equation whose leading coefficient is of the second degree. The correct option is A.

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is an equation whose leading coefficient is of second degree also the equation has only one unknown while it has 3 unknown numbers. It is written in the form of ax²+bx+c.

Let the width of the frame be represented by x. Therefore, the length and the breadth of the photographer be represented by (10+2x) inches and (8+2x) inches. Therefore, the total area of the photograph can be written as,

Area = Length × Breadth

168 inches² = (10+2x) inches × (8+2x)inches

168 = (10+2x)(8+2x)

168 = 80 + 20x + 16x + 4x²

0 = 80 + 20x + 16x + 4x² - 168

0 = 4x² + 36x - 88

4x² + 36x - 88 = 0

4x² + 36x = 88

Hence, the following quadratic equations that would be used when solving the width of the frame is 4x² + 36x = 88.
