Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is;

Both spreads are best described by the standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

,                                    College                       High School

High,                              20                               20

Low,                                6                                 3

Q₁,                                   8                                 5.5

Q₃,                                  18                                16

IQR,                                 10                                10.5

Median,                           14                                11

Mean,                              13.3                             11

σ,                                      5.2                             5.4

Checking for outliers, we have

College

Q₁ - 1.5×IQR gives 8 - 1.5×10 = -7

Q₃ + 1.5×IQR gives 18 + 1.5×10 = 33

For high school

Q₁ - 1.5×IQR gives 5.5 - 1.5×10.5 = -10.25

Q₃ + 1.5×IQR gives 16 + 1.5×10.5 = 31.75

Therefore, there are no outliers and the data is representative of the population

From the data, for the college students, it is observed that the difference between the mean, 13.3 and Q₁, 8, and between Q₃, 18 and the mean,13.3 is approximately the standard deviation, σ, 5.2

The difference between the low and the high is also approximately 3 standard deviations

Therefore the college spread is best described by the standard deviation

Similarly for the high school students, the IQR is approximately two standard deviations, the  difference between the mean, 11 and Q₁, 5.5, and between Q₃, 16 and the mean,11 is approximately the standard deviation, σ, 5.4

Therefore the high school spread is also best described by the standard deviation.

Both spreads are best described by the standard deviation

Answer:

tan (40°) = [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

tan [tex]\theta[/tex] = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

The opposite side to angle B is x. The adjacent side to angle B is 100 ft.

tan (40°) = [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

Answer:

tan 40° = x/100

Step-by-step explanation:

As, AC is perpendicular and BC is the with respect to angle ABC. So, tan 40° will be use to determine the distance in feet from point C to point A.

tan ABC = perpendicular/base

tan 40° = AC/BC

tan 40° = x/100 feet

Dmitri needs 6 liters of a 16% solution of sulfuric acid for a research project in molecular biology. He has two supplies of sulfuric acid solution: one is an unlimited supply of the 12% solution and the other an unlimited supply of the 24% solution. How many liters of each solution should Dmitri use?

Answers

Answer:

4 litres of 12% solution

2 litre of 24% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 12% solution = l

Let the 24% solution = h

Dimitri needs a total of 6 litres of both :

l + h = 6 - - - - - - - - (1)

He needs a mixture of both volumes of both to give a 16% volume

12%l + 24%h = 16% * 6

0.12l + 0.24h = 0.96 ----(2)

From (1)

l + h = 6;

l = 6 - h

Substitute l =6-h into (2)

0.12(6 - h) + 0.24h = 0.96

0.72 - 0.12h + 0.24h = 0.96

0.72 + 0.12h = 0.96

0.12h = 0.96 - 0.72

0.12h = 0.24

h = 0.24 / 0.12

h = 2

From ;

l = 6 - h

l = 6 - 2

l = 4

The following set of ordered pairs represents a power inverse variation. Find the value of r given that k = 5.

By cutting away identical squares from each corner of a rectangular piece of cardboard and folding up the resulting flaps, an open box may be made. If the cardboard is 16 in. long and 6 in. wide, find the dimensions (in inches) of the box that will yield the maximum volume. (Round your answers to two decimal places if necessary.)

Answers

Answer:

x=3.00 or x= 8.00

Explanation:

Let us denote side of the cut-out square as x inches

Then base of box = 16-2x by 6-2x

The volume = V = (16-2x)(6-2x)

= 96-3x-12x+4x

dV/dx = 96-44x+4x^2

= 0 for a max V

divide by 4

X^2 -11x +24=0

Using quadratic formula to solve the equation

X= (11± √11^2-(4×1×24)/2

(11± √25)/2

x= 3 or 8inches

From the equation of volume = V = x(16-2x)(6-2x)

Substitute

let x = 3 , V = 3(16-6)(6-6) = 0

let x = 8 , V = 8(16-16)(6-16) = 0

Therefore, the maximum volume exist at both point x=3 or x= 8

Can someone please explain how to get the answer i've looked it up several times and i'm still stuck. I'm in algebra 2 with trig and doing my summer math packet: "The length of a rectangle is two feet less than four times the width. Find the length and width if the area is 38.2 square feet. let w= width of the rectangle" Btw websites say w is 19.1 but my answer key says its 3.35. Thanks!

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of this rectangle

The length of a rectangle is 2 feet less than four times the width

● L+2 = 4w

The area of this rectangle is 38.2 ft^2

● L*w = 38.2

The system of equations is

L+2 = 4w => L-4w =2

L*w = 38.2 => L= 38.2/w

Replace L by 38.2/w in L-4w =2

● L-4w = 2

● (38.2/w)-4w = 2

●(38,2-4w^2)/w = 2

● 38.2-4w^2 = 2w

● 38.2-4w^2-2w = 0

● -4w^2-2w+38.2 =0

Multiply by -1 to reduce the - signs

● 4w^2+2w-38.2 =0

This is a quadratic equation so we will use the discriminant

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□

The discriminant is b^2-4ac

● b= 2 (2w)

● a= 4 (4w^2)

● c= -38.2 (the constant term)

b^2-4ac =2^2-4*4*(-38.2) = 615.2 > 0

The discriminant is positive so we have two solutions w and w' :

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

w= (-2-24.8)/8 = -3.35

24.8 is the root square of 615.2(the discriminant)

●w is negative

● a distance is always positive so this value isn't a solution

w'= (-2+24.8)/8 =2.85 > 0

So this value is a solution for our equation

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

w= 2.85 feet

Answer:

w=3.35

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangle is two feet less than four times the width:

length=4W-2

A=L*W

A=(4W-2)(W)

38.2=4W^2-2W

4W^2-2W-38.2=0  complete the square to find the solution add term(b/2)²

4W²-2W+1/4=38.2+1/4

4(W²-W/2+1/16)=38.45

4(w-1/4)^2=38.45

(w-1/4)²=38.45/4=9.6125

w-1/4=+ or -√9.6125 ( since it is width it has to be positive

w=√9.6125+1/4 = 3.35

What is the area of the button? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest tenth. The circumference of a button is 40.8 millimeters. What is the radius of the button? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest tenth. i need this answered quick

Answers

Answer: radius = 6.5millimeters; Area = 132.7m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle = 2πr

The area of a circle = πr²

The circumference of a button is 40.8 millimeters. Then we can get the radius, thus will be:

Circumference = 2πr

40.8 = 2 × 3.14 × r

40.8 = 6.28r

r = 40.8/6.28

r = 6.5

Radius is 6.5 millimeters

Area = πr²

Area = 3.14 × 6.5 × 6.5

Area = 132.7m²

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of k so that the triangle with vertices (1, -1), (-4,2k) and (-k, – 5) is 24 sq. units.

The area of triangle is given by :

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times [x_1(y_2-y_3)-x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)][/tex]

Here,

x₁ = 1, y₁ = -1, x₂ = -4, y₂ = 2k, x₃ = -k and y₃ = -5

So,

[tex]24=\dfrac{1}{2}\times [1(2k-(-5))-(-4)((-5)-(-1))+(-k)((-1)-(2k))][/tex]
