Which of the following statements about shapes of histograms is true?

a. A histogram is said to be symmetric if, when we draw a vertical line down the center of the histogram, the two sides are identical in shape and size.
b. A negatively skewed histogram is one with a long tail extending to the left.
c. A positively skewed histogram is one with a long tail extending to the right.
d. All of these choices are true

Answers

Answer:

d. all of these choices are true

Step-by-step explanation:

Histograms have 3 outstanding shapes:

1. they are syymetric:

this is to say that from the middle of the histogram if you cut it into two or half, each side is an exact close representation of the other side.

2. they are positively skewed to the right:

That is it has a long tail that goes off towards the right.

3. they are negativly skewed to the left:

They have a long tail that goes off to the left.

therefore from the question option d is the best answer since a, b, c describes the shape of a histogram.

The triangle shown on the graph above is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about the original to form triangle P’Q’R which of the following are the (x,y) coordinates of the point P’

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

When rotating a point 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, our original point (x,y) becomes (-y,x), because it is now at a negative y-value.

We see that our point P is at (1,2). We can use this rotation formula to find the coordinates of P' (the new spot where P is)/

(x,y)⇒(-y,x)

(1,2)⇒(-2,1)

Therefore, the coordinates of the point P' are (-2,1).

Find the particular solution of the differential equation that satisfies the initial condition(s). (Remember to use absolute values where appropriate.) f ''(x) = 4 x2 , f '(1) = 2, f(1) = 5

Answers

Looks like either [tex]f''(x)=4x^2[/tex] or [tex]f''(x)=\frac4{x^2}[/tex]...

In the first case, integrate both sides twice to get

[tex]f''(x)=4x^2\implies f'(x)=\dfrac43x^3+C_1\implies f(x)=\dfrac13x^4+C_1x+C_2[/tex]

Then the initial conditions give

[tex]f'(1)=2\implies 2=\dfrac43\cdot1^3+C_1\implies C_1=\dfrac23[/tex]

[tex]f(1)=5\implies 5=\dfrac13\cdot1^4+C_1\cdot1+C_2\implies C_2=4[/tex]

so that the particular solution is

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{x^4}3+\dfrac{2x}3+4[/tex]

If instead [tex]f''(x)=\frac4{x^2}[/tex], we have

[tex]f''(x)=\dfrac4{x^2}\implies f'(x)=-\dfrac4x+C_1\implies f(x)=-4\ln|x|+C_1x+C_2[/tex]

[tex]f'(1)=2\implies 2=-\dfrac41+C_1\implies C_1=6[/tex]

[tex]f(1)=5\implies 5=-4\ln|1|+C_1\cdot1+C_2\implies C_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(x)=-4\ln|x|+6x-1[/tex]

The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 9 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 7 cm/s. When the length is 12 cm and the width is 5 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?

Answers

Answer:

129 [tex]cm^2/s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing rate of length, [tex]\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex]= 9 cm/s

Increasing rate of width, [tex]\frac{dw}{dt}[/tex] = 7 cm/s

Length, l = 12 cm

Width, w = 5 cm

To find:

Rate of increase of area of rectangle at above given points.

Solution:

Formula for area of a rectangle is given as:

[tex]Area = Length \times Width[/tex]

OR

[tex]A = l \times w[/tex]

Differentiating w.r.to t:

[tex]\dfrac{d}{dt}A = \dfrac{d}{dt}(l \times w)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d}{dt}A = w \times \dfrac{d}{dt}l +l \times \dfrac{d}{dt}w[/tex]

Putting the values:

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{dA}{dt} = 5 \times 9 + 12 \times 7\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dA}{dt} = 45 + 84\\\Rightarrow \bold{\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 129\ cm^2/sec}[/tex]

Lisa built a rectangular flower garden that is 4 meters wide and has a perimeter of 26 meters.
What is the length of Lisa's flower garden?

Answers

Answer:

9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Width of rectangular flower garden, w = 4 m

Perimeter of rectangular flower garden, p = 26 m

To find:

Length of Lisa's flower garden = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us understand perimeter, length and width of a rectangle.

Let ABCD be a rectangle. Please refer to the attached image.

Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal to each other.

AB = CD = Length  

Let the length be [tex]l[/tex] m.

BC = DA = Width = 4 m

Perimeter of a closed image is equal to the sum of all the sides of the image.

So, perimeter of ABCD:

[tex]p = AB + BC + CD + DA \\\Rightarrow \bold{ p = 2 \times (Length +Width)}[/tex]

[tex]26 = 2 \times (l +4)\\\Rightarrow 2l =26-8\\\Rightarrow \bold{l = 9 m}[/tex]

Suppose that you want to estimate the mean pH of rainfalls in an area that suffers from heavy pollution due to the discharge of smoke from a power plant. Assume that σ is in the neighborhood of .5 pH and that you want your estimate to lie within .1 of µ with probability near .95. Approximately how many rainfalls must be included in your sample (one pH reading per rainfall)? Would it be valid to select all of your water specimens from a single rainfall? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

The  number of rainfalls is [tex]n =96[/tex]

The answer to the second question is  no it will not be valid this because from the question we are told that the experiment require one pH reading per rainfall so getting multiply specimens(used for the  pH reading) from  one rainfall will make the experiment invalid.

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question we are told that

    The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 0.5[/tex]

     The  margin of error is  [tex]E = 0.1[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  95%  then we can evaluate the level of significance as

                  [tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]

                  [tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]

                 [tex]\alpha =0.05[/tex]

Next we will obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table , the value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

           [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \sigma }}{ E} ]^2[/tex]

substituting values

             [tex]n = [\frac{1.96 * 0.5 }{ 0.1} ]^2[/tex]

            [tex]n =96[/tex]

The answer to the second question is  no the validity is null this because from the question we are told that the experiment require  one pH reading per rainfall so getting multiply specimens(used for the  pH reading) from  one rainfall will make the experiment invalid

Shyla's research shows that 8 empty cans make 1/4 pound of aluminum. Shyla wants to know how many cans does it take to make 5 pounds of aluminum. How many cans are there per pound of aluminum?

Answers

Answer:

They will need 160 cans to make 5 lbs

32 cans for 1 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

8 cans             x cans

--------------- = ---------------

1/4 lbs             5 lbs

Using cross products

8 * 5 = 1/4x

40 = 1/4 x

Multiply each side by 4

4 * 40 = 1/4 x * 4

160 =x

They will need 160 cans to make 5 lbs

8 cans             x cans

--------------- = ---------------

1/4 lbs             1 lbs

Using cross products

8 * 1 = 1/4x

Multiply each side by 4

8*4 = x

32 cans for 1 lbs

Answer:

32 cans per pound of aluminum

160 cans per 5 pounds of aluminum

Step-by-step explanation:

will make it short and simple.

8 empty cans can make 1/4 pound of aluminum.

therefore... 8 x 4 = 32 cans per pound of aluminum.

Number of cans to make 5 pounds of aluminum = 32 x 5

= 160 cans per 5 pounds of aluminum

The top speed of this coaster is

** Hint... convert mph into m/s.*​

Answers

To convert miles per hour to meters per second divide by 2.237

128 miles per hour / 2.237 = 57.22 meters per second.

Using the first equation:

57.22 = sqrt(2 x 9.81 x h)

Remove the sqrt by raising both sides to the second power:

57.22^2 = (2 x 9.81 x h)

Simplify Both sides:

3274.1284 = 19.62h

Divide both sides by 19.62:

H = 3274.1284/ 19.62

H = 166.88 meters

c. 620 to 1520
d. 828 to 1212
e. 724 to 1486

Answers

Answer:

its B. 636 to 1404

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Empirical Rule, about 95% of the scores lie between values 636 to 1404. The correct option is c.

What is standard deviation?

The standard deviation of a set of values is a measure of its variation or dispersion. The square root of the variance, which is the average of the squared differences from the mean, is used to calculate it.

According to the Empirical Rule, approximately 68% of the data for a normal distribution fall within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations.

In this case, the mean SAT score is 1020, with a standard deviation of 192. As a result, roughly 95% of the scores fall within two standard deviations of the mean, or between

(1020 - 2(192)) and (1020 + 2(192)).

Calculating, we get:

Lower bound: 1020 - 2(192) = 636

Upper bound: 1020 + 2(192) = 1404

Therefore, the answer is (b) 636 to 1404.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]p(x)[/tex] and [tex]q(x)[/tex] have the same domain and the same range.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]p(x) = 6-x[/tex] and

[tex]q(x) = 6x[/tex]

First of all, let us have a look at the definition of domain and range.

Domain of a function [tex]y =f(x)[/tex] is the set of input value i.e. the value of [tex]x[/tex] for which the function [tex]f(x)[/tex] is defined.

Range of a function [tex]y =f(x)[/tex] is the set of output value i.e. the value of [tex]y[/tex] or [tex]f(x)[/tex] for the values of [tex]x[/tex] in the domain.

Now, let us consider the given functions one by one:

[tex]p(x) = 6-x[/tex]

Let us sketch the graph of given function.

Please find attached graph.

There are no values of [tex]x[/tex] for which p(x) is not defined so domain is All real numbers.

So, domain is [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex] or [tex]x\in R[/tex]

Its range is also All Real Numbers

So, Range is [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex] or [tex]x\in R[/tex]

[tex]q(x) = 6x[/tex]

Let us sketch the graph of given function.

Please find attached graph.

There are no values of [tex]x[/tex] for which [tex]q(x)[/tex] is not defined so domain is All real numbers.

So, domain is [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex] or [tex]x\in R[/tex]

Its range is also All Real Numbers

So, Range is [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex] or [tex]x\in R[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is:

[tex]p(x)[/tex] and [tex]q(x)[/tex] have the same domain and the same range.

What is the length of the hypotenuse Read the following letter carefully before you choose your answer. The following is a letter written by an already established Voltaire to a young and newly published author, M. Helvetius, in 1739. (1) My dear friendthe friend of Truth and the Musesyour Epistle is full of bold reasoning in advance of your age, and still more in advance of those craven writers who rhyme for the book-sellers and restrict themselves within the compass of a royal censor, who is either jealous of them, or more cowardly than they are themselves. (2) What are they but miserable birds, with their wings close clipped, who, longing to soar, are for ever falling back to earth, breaking their legs! You have a fearless genius, and your work sparkles with imagination. I much prefer your generous faults to the mediocre prettinesses with which we are cloyed. If you will allow me to tell you where I think you can improve yourself in your art, I should say: Beware, lest in attempting the grand, you overshoot the mark and fall into the grandiose: only employ true similes: and be sure always to use exactly the right word. (3) Shall I give you an infallible little rule for verse? Here it is. When a thought is just and noble, something still remains to be done with it: see if the way you have expressed it in verse would be effective in prose: and if your verse, without the swing of the rhyme, seems to you to have a word too manyif there is the least defect in the constructionif a conjunction is forgottenif, in brief, the right word is not used, or not used in the right place, you must then conclude that the jewel of your thought is not well set. Be quite sure that lines which have any one of these faults will never be learnt by heart, and never re-read: and the only good verses are those which one rereads and remembers, in spite of oneself. There are many of this kind in your "Epistle"lines which no one else in this generation can write at your age such as were written fifty years ago. (4) Do not be afraid, then, to bring your talents to a Parnassus1; they will undoubtedly redound to your credit because you never neglect your duties; for them: they are themselves very pleasant duties. Surely, those your position demand of you must be very uncongenial to such a nature as yours. They are as much routine as looking after a house, or the housebook of one's steward. Why should you be deprived of liberty of thought because you happen to be a farmer-general2? Atticus was a farmer-general, the old Romans were farmers-general, and they thoughtas Romans. Go ahead, Atticus. 1A sacred mountain in Greece, known as the home of the Muses of Greek poetry 2A privileged member of French society who collected taxes on behalf of the king Paragraph 2 could be used to support which of the following claims about the writer's tone?
