Chucky grabbed 12 items in the grocery store that each had a different price and had a mean cost of about $7.41. One of the items was an entire wheel of cheese that cost $39.99. Chucky then decided to put the wheel of cheese back and only buy the other 11 items. How will removing the wheel of cheese affect the mean and median?
A. Both the mean and median will decrease, but the median will decrease by more than the mean.
B. Both the mean and median will decrease, but the mean will decrease by more than the median.
C. Both the mean and median will increase, but the median will increase by more than the mean.
D. Both the mean and median will increase, but the mean will increase by more than the median.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The mean will be (significantly) less.

Depending on the other items, the median is either affected only slightly or not at all.

Of all the answer choices, B is the correct one.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that initially, Chucky had a total of 12 items. Each of the items has a different price, but the average cost of them is $7.41.

One item of the twelve was a wheel of cheese that costs $39.99.

And we want to know how the average cost and median cost will be affected if we remove this wheel of cheese.

The important thing to note here is that the average cost is $7.41. The wheel of cheese, however, costs $39.99. Thus, it is an outlier. It is significantly more expensive than the other items.

Initially, to find the mean, we had to add the 12 items together and then divide by 12. However, now that we removed the expensive outlier, the average cost will now be less.

Algebraically, we can see this. Let t be the total cost of the items excluding the cheese. Thus, the mean initially is:

[tex]7.41=\frac{t+39.99}{12}[/tex]

Find t. Multiply both sides by 12:

[tex]88.92=t+39.99\\t=48.93[/tex]

Therefore, all the other items excluding the cheese totals $48.93.

If we remove the cheese, the total is now $48.93 and with only 11 items. Thus, the mean is now:

[tex]48.93/11\approx\$4.45[/tex]

This is almost $3 less than the original mean. Thus, the mean has decreased significantly.

For the median, we really don't know. Recall that the median is simply the "middle" quantity. Assuming all the other products are similarly priced, the median may only change slightly or it may not at all. However, we can only guess for the median as it will depend on the prices of the other products. Nevertheless, it mostly likely decrease.

Edit: Added Letter Answer

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a function to help determine his total cost.

12 x $7.41 = $88.92

After putting the cheese back he has 11 items and his total cost went down.

$88.92-$39.99 = $48.93

To find the average cost per item divide by 11.

$48.93/11 = $4.45 per item

The mean (average) has gone down.

The median would be the middle number, so you would need to line the cost of the items up from least to greatest. If you have an even number of items, you take the mean of the middle 2 numbers. The block of cheese would have have given Chucky 12 items so the 2 middle numbers would have been averaged.

A hypothetical 12 and 11 items:

$1  $2  $2  $3  $4  $4  $5  $6  $7  $7  $8  $39.99

Mean $7.42  Median $4.5

$1  $2  $2  $3  $4  $4  $5  $6  $7  $7  $8

Mean $4.45     Median $4

Taking the cheese away would move the middle down 1 number so it would also go down, but not as much as the mean of cost per item.

B. Both the mean and median will decrease, but the mean will decrease by more than the median.

O A. 50.0 VAC
B. 35.4 VAC
C. 24.8 VAC
O D.52.8 VAC

Answers

Answer:

Option B - 35.4 VAC

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for peak voltage is;

V_p = V_rms × √2

Making V_rms the formula, we have;

V_rms = (V_p)/√2

We are given:Peak voltage: V_p = 50 VAC

Where 50 VAC means 50 Volts AC power

Thus;

V_rms = 50/√2

V_rms ≈ 35.4 VAC

So option B is correct

Hello could anyone help me out? thank you! The room temperature is 50 *F. The temperature will decrease by 4*F each hour. Let "h" be the number of hours. When will the temperature be below 32*F?
Write an inequality for this problem.

Answers

We start off with 50 as our room temperature.

Then we subtract off 4h to indicate the temperature drops 4 degrees per hour

You can think of it like this

1 hour = drop by 4 degrees

h hours = drop by 4h degrees (multiply both sides by h)

So the expression 50-4h represents the temperature after h hours. We want this to be below 32, so 50-4h < 32 is the inequality we're after

Solving for h leads to

50-4h < 32

-4h < 32-50 ... subtract 50 from both sides

-4h < -18

h > -18/(-4) ... divide both sides by -4; note the inequality sign flips

h > 4.5

If you go beyond 4.5 hours, then the temperature will be below 32 degrees

notes:

4.5 hours = 4 hours, 30 minutes = 270 minutesthe inequality sign flips whenever you divide both sides by a negative number

After 1 hour 46

After 2 hour 42

After 3 hour38

After 4 hour 34

After 4 (1/2) hour 32

A rectangle is a 6 2/3 feet long and 3 1/5 feet wide. About how many feet is the distance around the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{296}{15}[/tex] or [tex]19\frac{11}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance around the rectangle is also known as the perimeter of the rectangle.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l+2w.  

The width of this rectangle is 3 1/5 feet and the length of this rectangle is 6 2/3 feet, so plug into the perimeter formula:

P=2l+2w

=2(6 2/3)+2(3 1/5)

=2(20/3)+2(16/5)

=40/3+32/5

--(LCD is 15)

= 5/5(40/3)+3/3(32/5)

=200/15+96/15

=296/15 or 19 11/15 feet

The distance around the rectangle is about [tex]\frac{296}{15}[/tex] or [tex]19\frac{11}{15}[/tex].

The function h(x) = 12x8 + 49 is an even function. Which transformation of h(x) would result in a function that is neither even nor odd? reflection over the x-axis vertical stretch by a factor of 7 translation 8 units to the right horizontal compression by a factor ofOne-half

Answers

Answer:  translation 8 units to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

An even function is a function such that:

h(x) = h(-x)

and the function is odd if:

h(-x) = -h(x)

Now, let's talk about transformations:

A) Reflection over the x-axis:

When we have a point (x,y) and we do a reflection over the x-axis, the reflected point will be:

(x, -y).

Then for the case of a function:

y = h(x).

then the reflection will be:

g(x) = - y = -h(x).

And if h(x) is even, -h(x) is also even, so this is not the correct option.

B) Vertical stretch by a factor of 7.

This is written as:

g(x) = 7*h(x).

then:

g(x) = 7*h(x)

g(-x) = 7*h(-x) = 7*h(x) = g(x)

the transformation is even.

C) Translation of 8 units to the right.

We can write this as:

g(x) = h(x - 8).

Then:

g(-x) = h(-x -8) = h(x + 8)

Then g(-x) is not equal to g(x)

and also g(-x) ≠ -g(x)

So in this case the transformation is neither odd or even.

C)  horizontal compression by a factor of One-half.

This transformation is written as:

g(x) = h( (1/2)*x)

And, similar as the case of the vertical compression, in this case the transformation is also even.

Answer: C

Answer:

Median: 7,5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Mean

To find the mean data you have to put data all set in order:

3, 4, 6, 6, 9, 12, 15, 15

Then, all of the numbers in the data set added together and then divided by how many numbers in the data that already put in order:

3 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 15 = 70

There are 8 numbers in the data so divide 70 by 8:

70 ÷ 8 = 8,75

To find Median

The median is in the middle number of the data that already in order. Which is number 6 and 9.

Median = (6 + 9) ÷ 2

Median = 15 : 2

Median = 7,5
