In a mathematics class, half of the students scored 89 on an achievement test. With the exception of a few students who scored 48, the remaining students scored 79. Which of the following statements is true about the distribution of scores?
A. The mean is less than the median.
B. The mean and the median are the same.
C. The mean is greater than the mode.
D. The mean is greater than the median.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The mean is less than the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

Half the students scored 89.  The next highest score is 79.  So the median is (79 + 89) / 2 = 84.

A few students scored 48, so the mean is slightly lower than the mean of 79 and 89.

Therefore, the mean is less than the median.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. The mean is less than the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

Say that half the students answered 79, and the rest 89.

We'd have a distribution something like this:

79 79 79  89 89 89

The median is in the smack middle. Since we have an even number of scores, the median would be the number between the 2 middle numbers. Here, that's 79 and 89. Thus, the median is 84.

The mean is the "average" of all values. Since we have an equal number of 79s to 89s, the mean would also be in the middle of those values (balancing an equal number on both sides). So, the mean would also be 84.

HOWEVER, we have an unspecified number of 48's.

The distribution looks something like

48 79 79 89 89 89

The median is still the same, smack middle between the 2 values in the middle. 84.

But the mean has changed. We have smaller values on the left. The mean is brought down by these 48 values. It doesn't matter how many, the fact that we have at least 1 will bring the mean, the average, down.

Victor fue al mercado para comprar manzanas, naranjas y platanos; las naranjas costaron el doble de lo 1ue pago por las manzanas y los platanos costaron 8 pesos menos que pas manzanas, en total gasto 100 pesos. Determina el precio de las manzanas, naranjas y platanos

Answers

Answer:

El precio de las manzanas = 27 pesos

El precio de las naranjas = 54 pesos

El precio de las bananas = 19 pesos

Step-by-step explanation:

Los parámetros dados son;

El monto total gastado = 100 pesos

Sea el precio de las naranjas = x

Sea el precio de las manzanas = y

Sea el precio de los plátanos = z

La cantidad pagada por las naranjas = 2 · y = x

La cantidad pagada por los plátanos = y - 8 = z

Por lo tanto, tenemos;

La cantidad total gastada = La cantidad pagada por las naranjas + La cantidad pagada por las bananas + La cantidad pagada por las manzanas

∴ El monto total gastado = 100 pesos = 2 · y + y - 8 + y

100 = 4 · años - 8

4 · y = 100 + 8 = 108

y = 108/4 = 27

y = 27

De

z = y - 8 tenemos;

z = 27 - 8 = 19

De 2 · y = x, tenemos;

2 × 27 = x

x = 54

Por lo tanto;

El precio de las naranjas = 54 pesos

El precio de las manzanas = 27 pesos

El precio de los plátanos = 19 pesos.

If a is an arbitrary nonzero constant, what happens to a/b as b approaches 0

Answers

It depends on how b approaches 0

If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.

On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.

The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.

A cylindrical tank whose diameter is 1.4 metres and height 80 cm is initially empty. Water whose volume is 492.8 litres is poured into the tank. Determine the fraction of the tank filled with water. (4 marks

Answers

Answer:

7/40 is the fraction filled with water

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we start by calculating the volume of the cylindrical tank.

Mathematically, that would be;

V = π * r^2 * h

From the question

r = 80 cm = 80/100 = 0.8 meters

h = 1.4 meters

π = 22/7

Plugging these values into the volume equation, we have;

V = 22/7 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 1.4 = 2.816 m^3

But mathematically;

1 m^3 = 1000 liters

So 2.816 m^3 = 2.816 * 1000 = 2816 liters

So the fraction filled with water will be;

492.8/2816 = 0.175 = 175/1000 = 7/40

Find the values of θ in the range 0≤θ≤360° which satisfy: 2 sin^2 θ - sinθ -1= 0

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving trig equations are just like solving "regular" equations. Let's get to it. First and foremost we are going to make a "u" substitution. You'll use that all the time in calculus, if you choose to go that route. Let

[tex]sin^2 \theta=u^2[/tex] and sinθ = u. Making the substitution, the equation becomes:

[tex]2u^2-u-1=0[/tex]

That looks like something that can be factored, right? If you throw it into the quadratic formula you get the factors:

(u - 1)(2u + 1) = 0

By the Zero Product Property, either u - 1 = 0 or 2u + 1 = 0, so we will solve those, but not until after we back-substitute!

Putting sinθ back in for u:

sinθ - 1 = 0 so

sinθ = 1 and in the other equation:

2sinθ + 1 = 0 so

2sinθ = -1 and

[tex]sin\theta=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Get out the unit circle and look to where the sinθ has a value of 1. There's only one place in your interval, and it's at 90 degrees.

Now look to where the sinθ has a value of -1/2. There are 2 places within your interval, and those are at 210° and 330°. Now you're done!

Answers

Answer:

El móvil B necesita 60 segundos para alcanzar al móvil A y le alcanza una distancia de 2400 metros con respecto al punto de referencia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supóngase que cada movil viaja en el mismo plano y que el móvil B se localiza inicialmente en la posición [tex]x = 0\,m[/tex], mientras que el móvil A se encuentra en la posición [tex]x = 1200\,m[/tex]. Ambos móviles viajan a rapidez constante. Si el móvil B alcanza al móvil A después de cierto tiempo, el sistema de ecuaciones cinemáticas es el siguiente:

Móvil A

[tex]x_{A} = 1200\,m+\left(20\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot t[/tex]

Móvil B

[tex]x_{B} = \left(40\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot t[/tex]

Donde:

[tex]x_{A}[/tex], [tex]x_{B}[/tex] - Posiciones finales de cada móvil, medidas en metros.

[tex]t[/tex] - Tiempo, medido en segundos.

Si [tex]x_{A} = x_{B}[/tex], el tiempo requerido por el móvil B para alcanzar al móvil A es:

[tex]1200\,m+\left(20\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot t = \left(40\,\frac{m}{s} \right)t[/tex]

[tex]1200\,m = \left(20\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot t[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{1200\,m}{20\,\frac{m}{s} }[/tex]

[tex]t = 60\,s[/tex]

El móvil B necesita 60 segundos para alcanzar al móvil A.

Ahora, la distancia se obtiene por sustitución directa en cualquiera de las ecuaciones cinemáticas:

[tex]x_{B} = \left(40\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (60\,s)[/tex]

[tex]x_{B} = 2400\,m[/tex]

El móvil B alcanza al móvil A a una distancia de 2400 metros con respecto al punto de referencia.

Which of the two functions below has the largest maximum y-value?
f(x) = -x4- 2
g(x) = -3x3 + 2

Answers

Answer:

g(x)=-3x^{3}+2

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) has a range that of (-infinity, +infinity), whereas f(x) has a range of (-infinity, -2].

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

● f(x) = -x^4 -2

● g(x) = -3x^3 + 2

Derivate both functions:

● f'(x) = -4x^3

● g'(x) = -9x^2

Solve the equations f'(x) =0 and g'(x) =0

● f'(x) = 0

● -4x^3 = 0

● x^3 = 0

● x =0

● g'(x) = 0

● -9x^2 = 0

● x^2 =0

● x = 0

So both functions f and g reach their maximum at 0.

● f(0) = 0^4-2 = -2

● g(0) = -3×0^3 +2 = 2

So g(0)>f(0)

So g has the largest maximum value.

Your mother has left you in charge of the annual family yard sale. Before she leaves you to your entrepreneurial abilities, she explains that she has made the job easy for you: everything costs either $1.50 or $3.50. She asks you to keep track of how many of each type of item is sold, and you make a list, but it gets lost sometime throughout the day. Just before she’s supposed to get home, you realize that all you know is that there were 150 items to start with (your mom counted) and you have 41 items left. Also, you know that you made $227.50. Write a system of equations that you could solve to figure out how many of each type of item you sold.

A) x + y = 109
(1.5)x + 227.50 = (3.5)y
B) x + y = 109
(3.5)x + 227.50 = (1.5)y
C) x + y = 41
(1.5)x + 227.50 = (3.5)y
D) x + y = 109
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50
E) x + y = 150
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50
F) x + y = $3.50
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50

Answers

Answer:

[tex]D)\ x + y = 109\\(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the items sold with price $1.5 = [tex]x[/tex]

Let the items sold with price $3.5 = [tex]y[/tex]

Initially, total number of items = 150

Items left at the end of the day = 41

So, number of items sold throughout the day = Total number of items - Number of items left

Number of Items sold = 150 - 41 = 109

So, the first equation can be written as:

[tex]\bold{x+y = 109} ....... (1)[/tex]

Now, let us calculate the sales done by each item.

Sales from item with price $1.5 = Number of items sold [tex]\times[/tex] price of each item

= (1.5)[tex]x[/tex]

Sales from item with price $3.5 = Number of items sold [tex]\times[/tex] price of each item

= (3.5)[tex]y[/tex]

Total sales = [tex]\bold{(1.5)x+(3.5)y = 227.50} ....... (2)[/tex]

So, the correct answer is:

[tex]D)\ x + y = 109\\(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50[/tex]

What is Graph?

Graph is a mathematical representation of a network and it describes the relationship between lines and points.

The coordinates of quadrilateral ABCD are A is (1, 4), B is (-4, 2), C is (-5, -4) and D is (-2, -1)

After reflecting across the x-axis , the x-coordinates of the vertices will remain the same, but the signs of their y-coordinates will change.

Therefore, the new coordinates of the vertices will be:

A' is (1, -4)

B' is (-4, -2)

C' is (-5, 4)

D' is (-2, 1)

Hence,  new coordinates of the quadrilateral are A' is (1, -4), B' is (-4, -2), C' is (-5, 4) and D' is (-2, 1)
