Given:
The heights (in inches) of students in a third-grade class are:
39, 37, 48, 49, 40, 42, 48, 53, 47, 42, 49, 51, 52, 45, 47, 48
To find:
The median height.
Solution:
The given data set is:
39, 37, 48, 49, 40, 42, 48, 53, 47, 42, 49, 51, 52, 45, 47, 48
Arrange the data set in ascending order.
37, 39, 40, 42, 42, 45, 47, 47, 48, 48, 48, 49, 49, 51, 52, 53
Here, the number of observations is 16. So, the median of the given data set is:
[tex]Median=\dfrac{\dfrac{n}{2}\text{th term}+\left(\dfrac{n}{2}+1\right)\text{th term}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Median=\dfrac{\dfrac{16}{2}\text{th term}+\left(\dfrac{16}{2}+1\right)\text{th term}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Median=\dfrac{8\text{th term}+9\text{th term}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Median=\dfrac{47+48}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Median=\dfrac{95}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Median=47.5[/tex]
Therefore, the median height of the students is 47.5 inches.
London bought snacks for her team's practice. She bought a bag of apples for $2.25
and a 18-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $9.63. Write and solve an
equation which can be used to determine j, how much each bottle of juice costs?
Answer:
j = $7.38 / 18
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We have to find the total cost of a 18 juice bottles pack
= $ 9.63 - $ 2.25
= $ 7.38
2. To find how much each bottle of juice costs :
j = $ 7.38 / 18 #
What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3,-1) and has a slope of 2/5? Put your answer in slope-intercept form
A: y= 2/5x -1/5
B: y= 2/5x +1/5
C: y= -2/5x -1/5
Answer:
y = 2/5x + 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2/5x + b
-1 = 2/5(-3) + b
-1 = -6/5 + b
1/5 = b
The length of a rectangle is 7 inches
more inan its width. the area of
the rectangle is eqaul to 4 inches less
than 4 times the perimeter. Find the
length and width of the rectangle
Answer:
length = 20 inches
width = 13 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
l = length
w = width
area = l×w
perimeter = (2×l) + (2×w)
l = w + 7
l×w = 4×(2×l + 2×w) - 4
(w+7)×w = 4×(2×(w+7) + 2×w) - 4
w² + 7w = 4×(2w + 14 + 2w) - 4
w² + 7w = 8w + 56 + 8w - 4 = 16w + 52
w² - 9w - 52 = 0
the solution for a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
here we use now w instead of x.
and a=1
b=-9
c=-52
w = (9 ± sqrt(81 - -208))/2 = (9 ± sqrt(81+208))/2 =
= (9 ± sqrt(289))/2 = (9 ± 17)/2
w1 = (9+17)/2 = 26/2 = 13
w2 = (9-17)/2 = -8/2 = -4
and a negative length does not make any sense for a geometric shape.
so, only w1 = 13 applies.
l = w + 7 = 13 + 7 = 20
1. Coach Jensson wants to celebrate the final win of the
school's baseball season with a trip to the local fast food
place. The team buys 22 delicious tacos and 17 orders
of savory nachos for $71.05. A few of the players are still
hungry, so the coach buys 10 more tacos and 5 more
orders of nachos for $27.25. If you don't consider tax,
what is the price of a taco and the price of an
order of nachos ?
Please help!! The question is the image below VVV
Answers are also images after the picture.
Step-by-step explanation:
When adding two fractions with different bases (bottom numbers), we can use this function:
[tex]\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ad + cb}{bd}[/tex]
So, to apply this to the given question:
[tex]\frac{x+3}{x-6} +\frac{1}{x-2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{(x+3)(x-2)+(1)(x-6)}{(x-6)(x-2)}[/tex]
From the given answers, we see we don't need to simplify the resulting base number, which makes things a lot easier.
Multiply top using: (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd= [tex]\frac{[(x*x) + (x*-2)+(3*x)+(3*-2)]+(x-6)}{(x-6)(x-2)}[/tex]
Simplify.= [tex]\frac{[x^2 -2x+3x-6]+(x-6)}{(x-6)(x-2)}[/tex]
Remove parentheses.= [tex]\frac{x^2 -2x+3x-6+x-6}{(x-6)(x-2)}[/tex]
Simplify again.= [tex]\frac{x^2 +2x-12}{(x-6)(x-2)}[/tex]
Now if we wanna be a little smart, we can see that from here, the only answer that has x^2 and something else, is A. But, just for show, lets factor.
Factor.= [tex]\frac{x(x+2)}{(x-6)(x-2)}[/tex]
Answer:
A) [tex]\frac{x(x+2)}{(x-6)(x-2)}[/tex]
Determine the indicated term in the following arithmetic sequences.
1.) a subscript 5: {2, 5, 8, ...}
2.) a subscript 20: {4, 8, 12, ...}
3.) a subscript 18: {0,20,40,60, ...}
Answer:
[tex]a_5= 14[/tex]
[tex]a_{20}= 80[/tex]
[tex]a_{18}= 340[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving (a):
We have:
[tex]a_1=2[/tex] --- first term
[tex]d = 5 -2 = 3[/tex] common difference
The 5h term is:
[tex]a_n= a_1 + (n - 1)d[/tex]
[tex]a_5= 2+ (5 - 1)*3[/tex]
[tex]a_5= 14[/tex]
Solving (b):
We have:
[tex]a_1 = 4[/tex] --- first term
[tex]d = 8 -4 = 4[/tex] common difference
The 20h term is:
[tex]a_n= a_1 + (n - 1)d[/tex]
[tex]a_{20}= 4+ (20 - 1)*4[/tex]
[tex]a_{20}= 80[/tex]
Solving (c):
We have:
[tex]a_1 = 0[/tex] --- first term
[tex]d = 20 -0 = 20[/tex] common difference
The 18th term is:
[tex]a_n= a_1 + (n - 1)d[/tex]
[tex]a_{18}= 0+ (18 - 1)*20[/tex]
[tex]a_{18}= 340[/tex]

We are given a jar full of thousands of red and blue marbles. We want to estimate the unknown proportion pof red marbles in the jar. To do this, we randomly draw 100 marbles and count reds: it so happens we drew 45 reds. Enter values in decimal form, rounded to four decimal places (or more).
We estimate the proportion of reds in the jar to be
Attach a give-or-take value to this estimate. (That is, estimate the standard error.)
For a 96% confidence interval, about how many standard errors should be added to and subtracted from the estimate?
Set up an approximate 96% confidence interval for the unknown proportion of reds in the jar.
Answer:
(0.3478, 0.5522)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of red marbles, x = 45
Total number of marbles, n = 100
Phat = x / n = 45 / 100 = 0.45
The confidence interval, C.I is given by :
Phat ± Zcritical * standard error
Phat ± Zcritical * √Phat(1 - Phat) / n
Zcritical at 96% = 2.0537
The standard error = √Phat(1 - Phat) / n
S.E = √(0.45 * 0.55) / 100 = 0.0497493
C.I = 0.45 ± (2.0537 * 0.0497493)
C.I = 0.45 ± 0.10217013741
C. I = (0.3478, 0.5522)
I NEED HELP PLEASE! Can someone help me with the last two red boxes please? The rest of the question is for reference. Thank you for your time!
Answer:
I think you can go with:
The margin of error is equal to half the width of the entire confidence interval.
so try .74 ± [tex]\frac{.032}{2}[/tex] = [ .724 , .756] as the confidence interval

All of the following expressions are equal except ____. 1/4^3 4^2/4^5 4^5/4^2 4^-3
Answer:
4^5/4^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know 1/a^b = a^-b
a^b/ a^c = a^(b-c)
1/4^3 = 4^-3
4^2/4^5 = 4^(2-5) = = 4^-3
4^5/4^2 = 4^(5-2) = 4^3
4^-3
Answer:
[tex]4^{5}/5^{2}[/tex] = not the same
Step-by-step explanation:
you have the equations
[tex]1/4^{3} = 0.015625\\\\4^{2}/4^{5} = 16/1024 = 0.015625\\\\4^{5}/4^{2} = 1024/16 = 65\\\\4^{-3} = 0.015625[/tex]

A common inhabitant of human intestines is the bacterium Escherichia coli, named after the German pediatrician Theodor Escherich, who identified it in 1885. A cell of this bacterium in a nutrient-broth medium divides into two cells every 20 minutes. The initial population of a culture is 50 cells.
Required:
a. Find the relative growth rate.
b. Find an expression for the number of cells after t hours.
c. Find the rate of growth after 6 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
d. Find the number of cells after 6 hours.
Answer:
a. Relative Growth rate = 10% (6/60 * 100)
b. Number of cells after t hours = 50 * 1.1^t
c. Rate of growth after 6 hours = 77.2% (1.1⁶ - 1)
d. The number of cells after 6 hours is
= 89 cells
Step-by-step explanation:
A cell divides into two cells every 20 minutes
In one hour, the cell will divide into 60/20 * 2 = 6 cells
Each cell growth 6 cells per hour
Initial population of a culture = 50 cells
t = time in hours
a. Relative Growth rate = 10% (6/60 * 100)
b. Number of cells after t hours = 50 * 1.1^t
c. Rate of growth after 6 hours = 77.2% (1.1⁶ - 1)
d. The number of cells after 6 hours = initial population * growth factor
= 50 * 1.772
= 88.6
= 89 cells
