Blood pressure values are often reported to the nearest 5 mmhg (100, 105, 110, etc.). the actual blood pressure values for nine randomly selected individuals are given below.

108.6 117.4 128.4 120.0 103.7 112.0 98.3 121.5 123.2

Required:
a. What is the median of the reported blood pressure values?
b. Suppose the blood pressure of the second individual is 117.7 rather than 117.4 (a small change in a single value). What is the new median of the reported values?
c. What does this say about the sensitivity of the median to rounding or grouping in the data?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranging the data in the ascending order:

108.6 98.3 103.7 112 117.4 120 121.5 123.2 128.4

The median is the middle value of the data set:

a)

Hence,

median = 117.4

b)

When the value of blood pressure is 117.7 instead of 117.4 then the median will be:

Median = 117.7

c)

This indicates that the median of a well sorted set of data is depends upon the middle value of the data set.

We can seperate (3b³) into two different parts, the constant and the variable.

The constant (3) and the variable (b) can both be squared and multiplied to get the correct answer, so:

3² = 9

(b³)² = [tex]b^{6}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

m<1=145

m<2=35

m<3=35

Step-by-step explanation:

measure one is supplementary(the angles add to 180) to measure four.

so we do 180-35=145

measure 2 is congruent to measure four because they are corresponding angles

so measure 2=35

and measure 3 is also congruent to measure 4 because the are corresponding angles

so m<3=35

Let h(x)=20e^kx where k ɛ R (Picture attached. Thank you so much!)

Answers

Answer:

A)

[tex]k=0[/tex]

B)

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2k + 1& = 2\ln 20 + 1 \\ &\approx 2.3863\end{aligned}[/tex]

C)

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} k - 3&= \ln \frac{1}{2} - 3 \\ &\approx-3.6931 \end{aligned}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]\displaystyle h(x) = 20e^{kx} \text{ where } k \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]

A)

Given that h(1) = 20, we want to find k.

h(1) = 20 means that h(x) = 20 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (20) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]1= e^k[/tex]

Anything raised to zero (except for zero) is one. Therefore:

[tex]k=0[/tex]

B)

Given that h(1) = 40, we want to find 2k + 1.

Likewise, this means that h(x) = 40 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (40) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle 2 = e^{k}[/tex]

We can take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln 2 = \underbrace{k\ln e}_{\ln a^b = b\ln a}[/tex]

By definition, ln(e) = 1. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln 2[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]2k+1 = 2\ln 2+ 1 \approx 2.3863[/tex]

C)

Given that h(1) = 10, we want to find k - 3.

Again, this meas that h(x) = 10 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (10) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplfy:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = e^k[/tex]

Take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln \frac{1}{2} = k\ln e[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle k - 3 = \ln\frac{1}{2} - 3\approx-3.6931[/tex]

The 4th of an AP is 15 and the 9th term is 35. find the 15th term​

Answers

Consecutive terms in this sequence are separated by a constant c, so if the 4th term is 15, then the next terms would be

5th: 15 + c

6th: (15 + c) + c = 15 + 2c

7th: (15 + 2c) + c = 15 + 3c

and so on. More generally, since any given number in the sequence depends on the number that came before it, we can write the n-th term in terms of the 4th term,

n-th: 15 + (n - 4) c

Then the 9th term in the sequence is

15 + (9 - 4) c = 35

and solving for c gives

15 + 5c = 35   ==>   5c = 20   ==>   c = 4

Then the 15th term would be

15 + (15 - 4)×4 = 15 + 11×4 = 15 + 44 = 59

18.84 feet.  let me know if you have ay other questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find the formula for circumference is kinda complicated so it is best to ust memorize the formula, which is 2πr.  or 2 times pi times the radius.  

Your problem gives you the formula, but instead of 2 and r in it you have d, which is the diameter.

The diameter of the circle is 2 times the radius, so that's why it is replaced.

the radius is the distance from the center fo the circle to one edge, and the diameter is the distance through the circle passing through its center.  so it's the center to one end plus the center to another end.  or r+r which is also 2r.

So d = 2r, so in this problem d =6 feet.

So now the formula πd = 3.14*6 feet = 18.84 feet

Starting with a fresh bar of soap, you weigh the bar each day after you take a shower. Then you find the regression line for predicting weight from number of days elapsed. The slope of this line will be:__________.

Answers

Answer:

The slope will be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the regression line tells us about the relationship or behavior of the dependent and independent variables. In the scenario above, where the weight is being compared with the number of days elapsed. What is expected of the weight and quantity of a bar soap each time it is used for a shower is that it will decrease in weight. Therefore, as the number of days increases, and hence, number of showers rise, the weight of soap will decrease. Hence, we'll obtain a negative slope, one in which the increase in a variable leads to decrease in the other.

What is triangle?

A polygon has three edges as well as three vertices is called a triangle. It's one of the fundamental geometric shapes. In Euclidean geometry, each and every three points that are not collinear produce a distinct triangle and a distinct plane. In other words, every triangle was contained in a plane, and there is only single plane that encompasses that triangle.

All triangles are enclosed in a single plane if all of geometry is the Euclidean plane, however this is no longer true in higher-dimensional Euclidean spaces. Unless when otherwise specified, this article discusses triangles within Euclidean geometry, namely the Euclidean plane. The given segment can form triangle.
