Answer:
The meadian decreases by 1.5 when the outlier is removed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well first we need to find the median of the following data set,
(75, 63, 58, 59, 63, 62, 56, 59)
So we order the set from least to greatest,
56, 58, 59, 59, 62, 63, 63, 75
Then we cross all the side numbers,
Which gets us 59 and 62.
59 + 62 = 121.
121 / 2 = 60.5
So 65 is the median before the outlier is removed.
Now when we remove the outlier which is 75.
Then we order it again,
56, 58, 59, 59, 62, 63, 63
Which gets us 59 as the median.
Thus,
the median height decreases by 1.5 units when the outlier is removed.
Hope this helps :)
BRAINLIEST ANSWER GIVEN Without actually solving the problem, choose the correct solution by deciding which choice satisfies the given conditions. The length of a rectangle is 2 feet longer than the width. The perimeter is 20 feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. Length= ?; width=?
Answer:
length = 6 feetwidth = 4 feetStep-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w
where l is the length
w is the width
The length of the rectangle is 2 feet longer than the width is written as
l = 2 + w
Perimeter = 20feet
So we have
20 = 2( 2 + w ) + 2w
20 = 4 + 2w + 2w
4w = 16
Divide both sides by 4
w = 4
Substitute w = 4 into l = 2 + w
That's
l = 2 + 4
l = 6
length = 6 feetwidth = 4 feetHope this helps you
Answer:
w = 4 and L = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)
p = 20
L = 2 + w
w = ?
20 = 2(2 + w + w)
20 = 2(2 + 2w)
20/2 = 2 + 2w
10 = 2 + 2w
10 - 2 = 2w
8 = 2w
w = 8/2 = 4
L = w + 2
L = 4 +2 = 6
w = 4 and L = 10
Jeremy's father drives him to school in rush hour traffic in 20 minutes. One day there is no traffic, so his father can drive him 18 miles per hour faster and gets him to school in 12 minutes. How far (in miles) is it from Jeremy's home to school?
Answer:
9 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the speed that Jeremy's father drives Jeremy through traffic is x. When there is no traffic, Jeremy's father drives 18 miles per hour faster than his speed in traffic, x. This would make the speed that Jeremy's father drives Jeremy to school without traffic, 18 / 60 + x. This is as it is 18 miles per hour faster, not 18 miles per minute faster.
Now recall the formula Speed = Distance / Time, or S = D / T. We want the distance here ( How far (in miles) from Jeremy's home to school ) so let's isolate D here in this formula,
S = D / T ⇒ D = S [tex]*[/tex] T - and as you know, the distance from Jeremy's home to school is the same, with or without traffic. So, we can consider case 1 : Jeremy's " distance traveled " in traffic, and case 2 : Jeremy's " distance traveled " without traffic, and make them equal to one another.
20 [tex]*[/tex] x = 12 [tex]*[/tex] ( 18 / 60 + x ),
20x = 3.6 + 12x,
8x = 3.6,
x = 0.45 - Now the distance is 20 [tex]*[/tex] x, and hence 20 [tex]*[/tex] 0.45 = 9 miles
Duane is making cookies. The recipe calls for two times as many cups of sugar as butter, two times as many cups of oats as sugar, and two times as many cups of flour as oats. If Duane puts in one cup of butter, how many cups of flour does he need to add? (also this is from MobyMax)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the number of cups of butter needed.
Let s represent the number of cups of sugar needed.
Let o represent the number of cups of oat needed.
Let f represent the number of cups of flour needed.
The recipe calls for two times as many cups of sugar as butter. It means that
s = 2b
Two times as many cups of oats as sugar. It means that
o = 2s
Two times as many cups of flour as oats. It means that
f = 2o
If Duane puts in one cup of butter, it means that b = 1
Therefore,
s = 2 × 1 = 2 cups
o = 2s = 2 × 2 = 4 cups
f = 2o = 2 × 4 = 8 cups
Therefore, he needs to add 8 cups of flour

Find the most general antiderivative of the function. (Check your answer by differentiation. Use C for the constant of the antiderivative.) f(x) = x2 − 7x + 5
Answer:
F(x) = [tex]\frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{7x^2}{2} + 5x + c[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The antiderivative of a function (also called the integration of a function) is the reverse of the differentiation of that function. Given a function f(x), its integration, F(x), can be calculated as follows;
F(x) = [tex]\int\limits{f(x)} \, dx[/tex]
From the question, f(x) = x² - 7x + 5
Therefore,
F(x) = [tex]\int\limits {(x^2 - 7x + 5)} \, dx[/tex]
F(x) = [tex]\frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{7x^2}{2} + 5x + c[/tex]
Where c is the constant of the integration (antiderivative).
PS: The constant of integration is used for indefinite integrals and allows to express integration of a function in its most general form.

Answer:
[tex]Total\ Selection = 30\ ways[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Girls = 3
Boys = 5
Required
How many ways can 2 boys and girls be chosen?
The keyword in the question is chosen;
This implies combination and will be calculated as thus;
[tex]Selection =\ ^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}[/tex]
For Boys;
n = 5 and r = 2
[tex]Selection =\ ^5C_2[/tex]
[tex]Selection = \frac{5!}{(5-2)!2!}[/tex]
[tex]Selection = \frac{5!}{3!2!}[/tex]
[tex]Selection = \frac{5 * 4 * 3!}{3!*2 * 1}[/tex]
[tex]Selection = \frac{20}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Selection = 10[/tex]
For Girls;
n = 3 and r = 2
[tex]Selection =\ ^3C_2[/tex]
[tex]Selection = \frac{3!}{(3-2)!2!}[/tex]
[tex]Selection = \frac{3!}{1!2!}[/tex]
[tex]Selection = \frac{3 * 2!}{1 *2!}[/tex]
[tex]Selection = \frac{3}{1}[/tex]
[tex]Selection = 3[/tex]
Total Selection is calculated as thus;
[tex]Total\ Selection = Boys\ Selection * Girls\ Selection[/tex]
[tex]Total\ Selection = 10 * 3[/tex]
[tex]Total\ Selection = 30\ ways[/tex]
Olivia, a golfer, claims that her drive distance is more than 174 meters, on average. Several of her friends do not believe her, so she decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 10% significance level, to persuade them. She hits 15 drives. The mean distance of the sample drives is 188 meters. Olivia knows from experience that the standard deviation for her drive distance is 14 meters. H0: μ=174; Ha: μ>174 α=0.1 (significance level) What is the test statistic (z-score) of this one-mean hypothesis test, rounded to two decimal places?
Answer:
3.87
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Data provided in the question
mean distance = [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 188 meters
Standard deviaton = [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]
Hits drivers = 15
The distance = 174 meters
H_0: μ≤174;
H_a: μ>174
Based on the above information, the test statistic z-score is
[tex]z = \frac{\bar x - \mu }{\sigma / \sqrt{n} } \\\\ = \frac{188 - 174}{\ 14 / \sqrt{15} }[/tex]
= 3.87
Hence, the test statistic is 3.87
Note:
We take the μ≤174 instead of μ=174;
You are given the following information obtained from a random sample of 5 observations. 20 18 17 22 18 At 90% confidence, you want to determine whether or not the mean of the population from which this sample was taken is significantly less than 21. (Assume the population is normally distributed.) a) State the null and the alternative hypotheses. b) Compute the standard error of the mean. c) Determine the test statistic. d) Test to determine whether or not the mean of the population is significantly less than 21.
Answer:
a
The null hypothesis is
[tex]H_o : \mu = 21[/tex]
The Alternative hypothesis is
[tex]H_a : \mu< 21[/tex]
b
[tex]\sigma_{\= x} = 0.8944[/tex]
c
[tex]t = -2.236[/tex]
d
Yes the mean population is significantly less than 21.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are given
a set of data
20 18 17 22 18
The confidence level is 90%
The sample size is n = 5
Generally the mean of the sample is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\= x = \frac{20 + 18 + 17 + 22 + 18}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\= x = 19[/tex]
The standard deviation is evaluated as
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{\sum (x_i - \= x)^2}{n} }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ ( 20- 19 )^2 + ( 18- 19 )^2 +( 17- 19 )^2 +( 22- 19 )^2 +( 18- 19 )^2 }{5} }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = 2[/tex]
Now the confidence level is given as 90 % hence the level of significance can be evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 10[/tex]%
[tex]\alpha =0.10[/tex]
Now the null hypothesis is
[tex]H_o : \mu = 21[/tex]
the Alternative hypothesis is
[tex]H_a : \mu< 21[/tex]
The standard error of mean is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{\sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{2}{ \sqrt{5 } }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\= x} = 0.8944[/tex]
The test statistic is evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{ 19 - 21 }{ 0.8944 }[/tex]
[tex]t = -2.236[/tex]
The critical value of the level of significance is obtained from the critical value table for z values as
[tex]z_{0.10} = 1.28[/tex]
Looking at the obtained value we see that [tex]z_{0.10}[/tex] is greater than the test statistics value so the null hypothesis is rejected

A manager receives 8 applications for a specific position. She wants to narrow it down to 5. In how many ways can she rank 5 applications?
Answer:
56 number of ways
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is a combination question since it involves selection.
Generally, if r objects are to be selected from n pool of objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways.
nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!
If a manager receives 8 applications for a specific position and wants to narrow it down to 5, the number of ways he can do this is 8C5
8C5 = 8!/(8-5)!5!
= 8!/3!5!
= 8*7*6*5!/3*2*5!
= 8*7*6/3*2
= 8*7
= 56 number of ways.
This means that the manager can rank 5 applications in 56 number of ways
The number of ways that can she rank 5 applications should be 6720.
Calculation of the number of ways:Since A manager receives 8 applications for a specific position. She wants to narrow it down to 5.
So here we do apply the permutation here:
[tex]= 8!\div 5!3! \times 5!\div 0!\\\\= 8\times 7\times 6\times 5\times 4[/tex]
= 6720
Hence, The number of ways that can she rank 5 applications should be 6720.

Marie is saving money for home repairs. So far, she has saved $1,558. She needs at least $2,158 for the repairs. She plans to
add $60 per week to her current savings until she can afford the repairs.
In this activity, you will algebraically model and solve an inequality based on this situation and interpret the solutions within
realistic guidelines
Part A
Question
Given the situation, which inequality models the number of additional weeks Marie needs to continue saving to afford the
home repairs?
Select the correct answer.
1,558 + 60x 22,158
60x + 1,558 5 2,158
1,558 - 60x s 2,158
2,158 - 60x 2 1,558
Answer:
Inequality: [tex]1558 + 60 x \geq 2158[/tex]
Number of Weeks: [tex]x \geq 10[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Initial\ Savings = \$1558[/tex]
[tex]Amount\ Needed = \$2158[/tex]
[tex]Additional\ Savings = \$60\ weekly[/tex]
Required
Represent this using an inequality
Represent the number of weeks as x;
This implies that, She'll save $60 * x in x weeks
Her total savings after x weeks would be
[tex]Initial\ Savings + 60 * x[/tex]
From the question, we understand that she needs at least 2158;
Mathematically, this can be represented as (greater than or equal to 2158)
[tex]\geq 2158[/tex]
Bringing the two expressions together;
[tex]Initial\ Savings + 60 * x \geq 2158[/tex]
Substitute 1558 for Initial Savings
[tex]1558 + 60 * x \geq 2158[/tex]
[tex]1558 + 60 x \geq 2158[/tex]
Hence, the inequality that represents the situation is [tex]1558 + 60 x \geq 2158[/tex]
Solving further for x (number of weeks)
[tex]1558 + 60 x \geq 2158[/tex]
Subtract 1558 from both sides
[tex]1558- 1558 + 60 x \geq 2158 - 1558[/tex]
[tex]60x \geq 600[/tex]
Divide both sides by 60
[tex]\frac{60x}{60} \geq \frac{600}{60}[/tex]
[tex]x \geq 10[/tex]
This means that she needs to save $60 for at least 10 weeks

Winston and Alice are taking a trip. Winston left at 8 am and traveled an average of 50 miles per hour. Alice left at 10 am and traveled an average of 70 miles per hour. At what time are they at the same place at the same time? Write a system of equation to represent this situation. Then use the substitution method with that system to determine at the time they will be in the same location. How many miles away from home will they be at that time?
Answer:
3 PM
350 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say t is the number of hours since 8 AM.
The distance traveled by Winston is:
w = 50t
The distance traveled by Alice is:
a = 70(t−2)
When w = a:
50t = 70(t−2)
50t = 70t − 140
140 = 20t
t = 7
Winston and Alice will be at the same place 7 hours after 8 AM, or 3 PM.
The distance they travel is 350 miles.

An accountant receives a salary of $262,000 per year. During the year, he plans to spend $99,000 on his mortgage, $54,000 on food, $32,000 on clothing, $41,000 on household expenses, and $28,000 on other expenses. With the money that is left, he expects to buy as many shares of stock at $250 per share as possible. Using the equation below, determine how many shares will he be able to buy? What was the sum of the accountant's expenses?
Answer:
Number of shares = 32 shares
Accountant total expenses= $254000
Step by step explanation:
The accountant salary is $262000
He spends $99000 on mortage
Spends $54000 on foods
Spends $32000 on clothing
Spends $41000 on household
Spends $28000 on others
Total expenses= 99000+54000+32000+41000+28000
Total expenses =$254000
Remaining money = 262000-254000
Remaining money= $8000
If shares = $250 for one
To know the amount he buys with the remaining money
We divide remaining money by shares cost
= $8000/$250
= 32 shares

The measure of the intercepted arc QN is twice the measure of inscribed angle QNT.
arc QN = 2(74°) = 148°
_____
Comment on the question and answer
Your description "on the circle between points Q and N" is ambiguous. You used the same description for both points P and R. The interpretation we used is shown in the attachment. If point P is on the long arc NQ, then the measure of arc QPN will be the difference between 148° and 360°, hence 212°. You need to choose the answer that matches the diagram you have.
__
We call angle QNT an "inscribed angle" because it is a degenerate case of an inscribed angle. The usual case has the vertex of the angle separate from the ends of the arc it intercepts. In the case of a tangent meeting a chord, the vertex is coincident with one of the ends of the intercepted arc. The relation between angle measure and arc measure remains the same: 1 : 2.

Answer:
[tex]P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = 0.156[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Puncture\ Corner = 10\%[/tex]
[tex]Smashed\ Corner = 6\%[/tex]
[tex]Punctured\ and\ Smashed\ Corner = 0.4\%[/tex]
Required
[tex]P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner)[/tex]
For non-mutually exclusive event described above, P(Punctured or Smashed Corner) can be calculated as thus;
[tex]P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = P(Punctured\ Corner) + P(Smashed\ Corner) - P(Punctured\ and\ Smashed\ Corner)[/tex]
Substitute:
10% for P(Puncture Corner),
6% for P(Smashed Corner) and
0.4% for P(Punctured and Smashed Corner)
[tex]P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = 10\% + 6\% - 0.4\%[/tex]
[tex]P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = 15.6\%[/tex]
Convert % to fraction
[tex]P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = \frac{15.6}{100}[/tex]
Convert to decimal
[tex]P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = 0.156[/tex]
Using Venn probabilities, it is found that:
The probability that a randomly selected carton has a puncture or a smashed corner is 15.6%.In this problem, the events are:
Event A: Puncture.Event B: Smashed corner.The "or" probability is given by:
[tex]P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)[/tex]
10% have a puncture, hence [tex]P(A) = 0.1[/tex]6% have a smashed corner, hence [tex]P(B) = 0.06[/tex].0.4% have both a puncture and a smashed corner, hence [tex]P(A \cup B) = 0.004[/tex].Then:
[tex]P(A \cup B) = 0.1 + 0.06 - 0.004 = 0.156[/tex]
The probability that a randomly selected carton has a puncture or a smashed corner is 15.6%.

Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 249 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 120.2 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 176.55 cm and a standard deviation of 7.23 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Average height = 176.55 cm
Height of tallest man = 249 cm
Standard deviation = 7.23
z score of tallest man
= (249 - 176.55) / 7.23
= 10.02
Average height = 176.55 cm
Height of shortest man = 120.2 cm
Standard deviation = 7.23
z score of smallest man
= ( 176.55 - 120.2 ) / 7.23
= 7.79
Since Z - score of tallest man is more , his height was more extreme .
