Arnold made the following grades on his quizzes and assignments: 80, 92, 88, 90, 75, 38, 92, 95 2. Arnold wants to present his scores as advantageously as possible. Should he use the mean or the median of this data set? What other strategies could he employ to yield a more favorable measure of center?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If he were to find the mean then he would need to add all the numbers up and divide by the number of numbers. The answer of this would 69.1

If you find the median you would need to put the numbers in order,

2, 38, 75, 80, 88, 90, 92, 92, 95, then find the middle which would be 88.

So the better option would be finding the median. I think that this would be the best way to get the the most favorable measure of center.

I hope this helps.

How many gallons of 30% alcohol solution and how many of 60% alcohol solution must be mixed to produce 18 gallons of 50% solution?

Answers

Answer:

x = 6 gallons (of 30% alcohol)

y = 12 gallons (of 60% alcohol)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = liters of 30% alcohol

y = liters of 60% alcohol

There are two unknowns, we need two equations

x + y = 18. (1)

0.30x + 0.60y = 0.50(x+y) (2)

From (1)

x + y = 18

y = 18-x

Substitute the value of y into (2) and solve for x:

0.30x + 0.60y = 0.50(x+y)

0.30x + 0.60(18-x) = 0.50(x+18-x)

0.30x + 10.8 - 0.60x = 0.50(18)

10.8 - 0.30x = 9

-0.30x = -1.8

Divide both sides by -0.30

x = 6 gallons (of 30% alcohol)

Substitute x=6 into (1) and solve for y:

x + y = 18

6 + y = 18

y = 12 gallons (of 60% alcohol)

Which interval for the graphed function contains the local maximum? [–3, –2] [–2, 0] [0, 2] [2, 4]

Answers

Answer:

(0,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

So C

The correct option is option C: [0,2] contains the local maximum.

What is the local maximum?

Local maximum is the relative maximum point where it is maximum within the neighborhood of that point.

From the graph shown in the picture, it is clear that,

the curved line touches the x axis at the point R(-2.5, 0), O(0, 0), and Q(3, 0).

similarly, the curved line touches the y-axis at O(0,0).

the graph has local minima at P(-0.8,-2.8) and Q(3, 0).

So the graph is below the x-axis between the point (-2.5, 0), (0, 0).

the graph has local maxima at S(1.55,10.8).

So the graph is above the x-axis between the point (0, 0), and (3, 0).

so the local maximum occurs at S(1.55,10.8).

From the option, it is clear that the point  (1.55,10.8) lies in the interval [0,2].

Therefore [0,2] contains the local maximum.

A rectangular prism has a height of 12 centimeters and a square base with sides measuring 5 centimeters. A pyramid with the same base and half the height of the prism is placed inside the prism, as shown in the figure

Answers

The answer is 200 cm³

The volume of the rectangular prism (V1) is:

V1 = l · w · h                       (l - length,  w - width,  h - height)

It is given:

h = 12 cm

w = l = 5 cm (since it has a square base which all sides are the same size).

Thus: V1 = 12 · 5 · 5 = 300 cm³

The volume of pyramid (V2) is:

V2 = 1/3 · l · w · h                   (l - length,  w - width,  h - height)

It is given:

h = 12 cm

w = l = 5 cm (since it has a square base which all sides are the same size).

V2 = 1/3 · 12 · 5 · 5 = 1/3 · 300 = 100 cm³

The volume of the space outside the pyramid but inside the prism (V) is a difference between the volume of the rectangular prism (V1) and the volume of the pyramid (V2):  

V = V1 - V2 = 300 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 200 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc ABC (AB + BC) is intercepted by angle D.

Therefore, Arc ABC is 2 × m<D. (Inscribed Angle Theorem)

AB = 91°

m<D = 104°

Let BC = x

Arc ABC = (91° + x)

Thus,

91° + x = 2 × 104°

Solve for x

91 + x = 208

Subtract 91 from both sides

91 + x - 91 = 208 - 91

x = 117

Answers

Answer:

1. C = 10π, A = 25π

2. 9 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for circumference = πd

Formula for area of a circle = πr²

1. Set up the equation for circumference

10π

2. Set up the equation for area (radius = 1/2diameter) and solve

π(5²) = 25π

Formula for volume of a square pyramid = 1/3 · h

The volume of a square pyramid is equal to 1/3 of the volume of a cube. The formula for a volume of a cube is s³ which is equal to s² · h because a cube has the same side length for all sides. Therefore, the volume of a square pyramid that perfectly fits within a given cube would equal 1/3 the volume of the cube.

1. Set up the equation and solve

D = 10 = 2R   ⇒  R = 5

circumference:  C = 2πR = 2R•π = 10π

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

Explanation:

g(x) is the same as y, since they're both outputs of a function

So we have the starting equation y = (x-4)^2 - 1

Swap x and y and solve for y to get the inverse.

y = (x-4)^2 - 1

x = (y-4)^2 - 1

x+1 = (y-4)^2

(y-4)^2 = x+1

y-4 = sqrt(x+1) ... see note below

y = sqrt(x+1)+4

Note: Recall that [tex]x \ge 4[/tex] and we swapped x and y. This ultimately means [tex]y \ge 4[/tex] and this only occurs if we picked the positive version of the square root (ignoring the negative version).

find the value of y

a. 118
b. 65
c. 130
d. 32.5

Answers

Answer:

Option (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since "measure of an angle formed between the tangent and a chord measure the half of the intercepted arc."

Therefore, x = 2 × (65)°

x = 130°

Since, measure of the inscribed angle is half of the measure of the intercepted arc.

Therefore, x = 2y

y = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{130}{2}[/tex]

y = 65°

Therefore, Option (B). 65° will be the correct option.

Answers

This Question is incomplete

Complete Question:

The data represents the number of runs allowed by 8 college softball pitchers. {18, 49, 38, 41, 33, 44, 42, 22}

What is the five number summary:

a) Minimum

b) Q₁

c) Median

d) Q₃

e) Maximum

Answer:

a) Minimum = 18

b) Q₁ = 27.5

c) Median = 39.5

d) Q₃ = 43

e) Maximum = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above diagram, we were given the following set of data.

{18, 49, 38, 41, 33, 44, 42, 22}

Before answering any of the questions, we have to rearrange the data from the lowest to the highest (ascending order). Hence, we have:

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

a) Minimum

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

Looking at this set of arranged data, the minimum number is the least or lowest number.

This number is 18

b) Q₁

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

Q₁ means First Quartile. The formula is = ¼(n + 1)th value

n = Number of terms in the data set = 8

= ¼(8 + 1)th value

= ¼(9)th value

= 2 1/4 value

= 2.25 value

In the above Question, the 2.25 value is the value between the second and third number.

Hence:

22+33/2 = 55/2 = 27.5

Therefore, Q₁ = 27.5

c) Median

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

The median of the number is the number in the middle

For this data, we have 8 number, Hence the median is the sum of the 4th and 5th term divided by 2

4th term = 38

5th term = 41

= 38 + 41/ 2 = 79/2

= 39.5

Hence, the median = 39.5

d) Q₃

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

Q₃ means Third Quartile. The formula is = ¾(n + 1)th value

n = Number of terms in the data set = 8

= ¾(8 + 1)th value

= ¾(9)th value

= 6 3/4 value

= 6.75 value

In the above Question, the 6.75 value is the value between the sixth and seventh number.

Hence:

42+44/2 = 86/2 = 43

Therefore, Q₃ = 43

e) Maximum

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

Looking at this set of arranged data, the Maximum number is the highest number.

This number is 49
