Answer:
The frequency distribution does not appear to be normal.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data provided is as follows:
S = {0.38 , 0 , 0.22 , 0.06 , 0 , 0 , 0.21 , 0 , 0.53 , 0.18 , 0 , 0 , 0.02 , 0 , 0 , 0.24 , 0 , 0 , 0.01 , 0 , 0 , 1.28 , 0.24 , 0 , 0.19 , 0.53 , 0 , 0, 0.24 , 0}
It is provided that the first lower class limit should be 0.00 and the class width should be 0.20.
The frequency distribution table is as follows:
Class Interval Count
0.00 - 0.19 21
0.20 - 0.39 6
0.40 - 0.59 2
0.60 - 0.79 0
0.80 - 0.99 0
1.00 - 1 . 19 0
1.20 - 1. 39 1
The frequency distribution does not appear to be normal. This is because the frequencies does not start and end at almost equivalent points and the mid-distribution does not consist of the highest frequency.
Thus, the frequency distribution does not appear to be normal.

What is the area of the region bounded by the three lines with equations $2x+y = 8$, $2x-5y = 20$ and $x+y = 10$?
Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing tool is useful for finding the points of intersection of these lines. If the equations are numbered 1, 2, 3 in the order given, we can find the points of intersection to be ...
equations 1, 2: A(5, -2)
equations 2, 3: B(10, 0)
equations (3, 1): C(-2, 12)
Then the area can be found from the coordinates using the formula ...
A = (1/2)|x1(y2-y3) +x2(y3-y1) +x3(y1-y2)|
= (1/2)|5(0-12) +10(12-(-2)) -2(-2-0))| = (1/2)|-60 +140 +4|
A = 42
The area of the triangular region is 42 square units.

f(2)=(2)²-2(2)+2 [combine like terms]
f(2)=4-4+2
f(2)=2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b. x²+10x+26
f(x+6)=(x+6)²-2(x+6)+2 [use FOIL method and distributive property]
f(x+6)=x²+12x+36-2x-12+2 [combine like terms]
f(x+6)=x²+10x+26
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c. x²+2x+2
f(-x)=(-x)²-2(-x)+2 [combine like terms]
f(-x)=x²+2x+2
Determine the area of the shape above. The formula for the area of a polygon is: Area = 1/2 (a n s) *
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a regular polygon is half the apothem times the perimeter, or A = ½ a n s, where a is the apothem, n is the number of sides, and s is the side length.
A = ½ (8.5705 in) (8) (7.1 in)
A = 243.4022 in²
A restaurant hands out a scratch-off game ticket with prizes being worth purchases at the restaurant. The back of the ticket lists the odds of winning each dollar value: 0.05 for $10, 0.04 for $25, 0.01 for $50, and 0.003 for $100. What are the odds that the ticket is worth at least $25?
Answer: 0.05412
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula : Odds of having an event is given by [tex]o=\dfrac{p}{1-p}[/tex], where p = probability that event happens.
In terms to find p , we use [tex]p=\dfrac{o}{1+o}[/tex]
Given, he back of the ticket lists the odds of winning each dollar value: 0.05 for $10, 0.04 for $25, 0.01 for $50, and 0.003 for $100.
Let X be the worth of ticket.
Then, the probability that the ticket is worth at least $25 =
[tex]P(X\geq 25)=P(X=25)+P(X=50)+P(X=100)[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{0.04}{1+0.04}+\dfrac{0.01}{1+0.01}+\dfrac{0.003}{1+0.003}\\\\=0.05135[/tex]
The odds that the ticket is worth at least $25 = [tex]\dfrac{0.05135}{1-0.05135}[/tex]
=0.05412
hence, the odds that the ticket is worth at least $25 is 0.05412 .
CALC 1: Spud's mom is going to make him a round birthday cake, and has asked for your help. Spud is a bit weird, and has already
announced that when he slices the cake, your slice will have a perimeter of 16 inches, because you're his favorite friend, and
that's his favorite number. Since you're helping his mom with the baking, what diameter cake will you recommend she makes
so that you end up with the most possible cake at weird Spud's party? (Hint: you can ignore the thickness df the cake, since
this will be the same, regardless of its diameter.)
10.1
in
Answer:
15.7 in
Step-by-step explanation:
A slice of a round pie is a sector of a circle.
The perimeter of a slice is the arc length s plus twice the radius r.
P = s + 2r
s = rθ = r(16/360) = r/22.5. So,
16 = (r/22.5) + 2r = (r + 45r)/22.5 = 46r/22.5
16 × 22.5 = 46r
360 = 46r
r = 7.826
D = 2r = 2 × 7.826 = 15.7 in
The diameter of the cake should be 15.7 in.
Check:
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}P & = & s + 2r\\& = & \dfrac{r}{22.5} + 2r\\\\16 & = & \dfrac{7.826}{22.5} + 2 \times 7.826\\\\16 & = & 0.35 + 15.65\\16 & = & 16.00\\\end{array}[/tex]
It checks.

The bar graph shows the number of students who earned each letter grade on an
exam, which statement about the graph is true?
1)
1/5 of the students earned a C
2)
3% more students earned an A then B
3)
20% of the students earned a D
4)
1/4 of the class earned a B
Answer:
Option (3)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
Bar graph sketched shows the grades earned by the students in an exam.
Number of students who achieved the grade A = 17
Number of students who achieved grade B = 14
Number of students with grade C = 5
Number of students with grade D = 9
Total students who took the exam = 17 + 14 + 5 + 9 = 45
Option (1)
"[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of the students earned a C"
Fraction of students who earned C = [tex]\frac{\text{Students who earned C}}{\text{Total students}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5}{45}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Option (2)
"3% more students earned an A then B"
Percentage of students who earned A = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got A}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}\times 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{17}{45}\times 100[/tex]
= 37.78%
Percentage of students who earned B = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got B}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}\times 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14}{45}\times 100[/tex]
= 31.11%
Difference in percentage = 37.78 - 31.11
= 6.67%
Therefore, this option is not correct.
Option (3)
"20% of the students earned a D"
Percentage of students who earned D = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got D}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}\times 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9}{45}\times 100[/tex]
= 20%
Option (3) is the correct option.
Option (4)
" [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the class earned a B"
Fraction of class who earned B = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got B}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14}{45}[/tex]
Therefore, Option (4) is not correct.
John receives a perpetuity paying 2 at the end of year 4, 4 at the end of year 6, 6 at the end of year 8, etc. The present value of this perpetuity at an annual effective rate of 10% equals X. Calculate X
Answer:
45.35
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question, we are told that the annual effective rate = 10% = 0.10
Note also that payment is been made every 2 years
Hence , we apply the formula of effective interest rate for a period of 2 years.
Effective Interest rate(j) = (1 + r)² - 1
= (1 + 0.10)² - 1
= 1.10² - 1
= 1.21
= 0.21
Present value of perpetuality = t/[j × j/(1 + r)²]
Where t = time in years = 2
r = 0.10
= 2/ [0.21 × 0.21/(1 + 0.10)²
= 54.87528
Present value at time t = 0
= 54.87528(1 + r)^-2
= 54.87528(1 + 0.10) ^-2
= 54.87528(1.10)^-2
= 45.35
Therefore, the present value at time (t) is 0 = 45.35

Noel pays $1.54 in sales tax.The sales tax rate is 5.5%,what the original price
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, there!!!
Let's simply work with it,
Here,
tax=$1.54
rate of tax= 5.5%
now, let the original price be x.
so, 5.5% of x= $1.54 { tax amount = tax% of original price}.
or, 5.5/100 × x= $1.54
or, 5.5x = $1.54×100
or, x= $28.
Therefore, the original price was $28.
Hope it helps...
A TV studio has brought in 8 boy kittens and 9 girl kittens for a cat food commercial. The director is going to choose 11 of these kittens at random to be in the commercial. What is the probability that the director chooses 4 boy kittens and 7 girl kittens? Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
0.204
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to use to solve this is the combination formula.
Combination formula =
C(n, r) = nCr = n!/r! (n - r)!
Total number of kittens = 8 boy kittens + 9 girl kittens
= 17 kittens
Step 1
We find the probability of choosing 4 boy kittens out of 8 boy kittens
= 8C4 = 8!/4! × (8 - 4)!
= 8C4 = 8! / 4! × 4!
= 8C4 = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/ (4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × (4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
8C4 = 70
Step 2
We find the probability of choosing 7 girl kittens out of 9 girl kittens
9C7 = 9!/7! × (9 - 7)!
= 9C7 = 9! / 7! × 2!
= 9C7 = 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/ (7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × (2 × 1)
9C7 = 36
Step 3
Find the probability of Picking 11 kittens out of 17 kittens
17C11 = 17!/11! × (17 - 11)!
= 17C11 = 17! / 11! × 6!
= 17C11 = 17 × 16 × 15 × 14 × 13 × 12 × 11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/ (11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × (6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
17C11 = 12,376
Step 4
The final step
The probability that the director chooses 4 boy kittens and 7 girl kittens
= 8C4 × 9C7/ 17C11
= 70 × 36/12376
= 2520/12376
= 0.2036199095
Approximately to 3 decimal places = 0.204
Therefore, the probability that the director chooses 4 boy kittens and 7 girl kittens is 0.204
The average of 4 numbers is 15 , the sum of 3 numbers is 14 what is the fourth number
Answer:
46
Step-by-step explanation:
(14+x)/4 = 15
14 + x = 60
x = 46
Answer:
46
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a to d be number 1 to 4 respectively.
15 = (a + b + c + d) / 4
(a + b + c + d) = 60 ------> total sum of the 4 numbers
Since the sum of 3 numbers (assuming a to c) is 14,
Fourth number (d) = 60 - 14
= 46
That's how I would do it, hope this helps :)

Scores on a University exam are normally distributed with a mean of 68 and a standard deviation of 9. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, what percentage of students score above 77?
Answer:
0.1585, or 15.85%
Step-by-step explanation:
On a standard bell curve, the area from 77 to 100 falls within the 95.45 to 99.73 range.
99.73 - 68.27 = 31.46
31.46 / 2 =15.73
99.7 - 68 = 31.7
31.7 / 2 = 15.85

Max believes that the sales of coffee at his coffee shop depend upon the weather. He has taken a sample of 5 days. Below you are given the results of the sample.
Cups of Coffee Sold Temperature
350 50
200 60
210 70
100 80
60 90
40 100
A. Which variable is the dependent variable?
B. Compute the least squares estimated line.
C. Compute the correlation coefficient between temperature and the sales of coffee.
D. Predict sales of a 90 degree day.
Answer:
1. cups of coffee sold
2.Y = 605.7 - 5.943x
3. -0.952
4. 70.84
Step-by-step explanation:
1. the dependent variable in this question is the cups of coffee sold
2. least square estimation line
Y = a+bx
we have y as the cups of coffee sold
x as temperature.
first we will have to solve for a and then b
∑X = 450
∑Y = 960
∑XY = 61600
∑X² = 35500
∑Y² = 221800
a = ∑y∑x²-∑x∑xy/n∑x²-(∑x)²
a = 960 * 35500-450*61600/6*35500-450²
a = 6360000/10500
= 605.7
b = n∑xy - ∑x∑y/n∑x²-(∑x)²
= 6*61600 - 450*960/6*35500 - 450²
= -5.943
the regression line
Y = a + bx
Y = 605.7 - 5.943x
3. we are to find correlation coefficient
r = n∑xy - ∑x∑y multiplied by√(n∑x²-(∑x)² * (n∑y² - (∑y)²)
= 6*61600 -960*450/√(6*35500 - 450²)*(6*221800 - 960²)
=-62400/√4296600000
= -62400/65548.5
= -0.952
4. we have to predict sales of a 90 degree day fro the regression line
Y = 605.7 - 5.943x
y = 605.7 - 5.943(90)
y = 605.7 - 534.87
= 70.84

Answer:
1:3
2:4
3:6
Step-by-step explanation:
we can divide both sides by 6 and get 1:2
we can divide both sides by 3 and get 2:4
we can divide both sides by 2 and get 3:6
Answer:
12:24, 3:6, 2:4
Step-by-step explanation:
What we are looking for here is a ratio that, when you divide/multiply the same constant on both parts of the ratio, you get 6:12.
6:12 is the same thing as 1:2, so we can find ratios equivalent to 1:2 (the first value will be half the second).

Nirja has 24 marbles. The number of marbles Nirja has is 6 more than the number of marbles Tim has.
If Tim has x marbles, the equation that represents the situation is
The value of x that makes the equation true is
Reset
Next
Answer:
24 = x+6
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
N = 24
T = x
N = x+6
24 = x+6
Subtract 6 from each side
24-6 = x+6-6
18 = x
Time has 6 marbles
Nirja has 6 more than Tim,
So you can subtract 6 from 24 to find x:
24-6 = x
Or you can add 6 to x to equal 24:
x + 6 = 24
You don't list the choices but it should be one of these.
Solve:
24 - 6 = x
x = 18

Which of the following steps would not be necessary when using the square root property to solve a quadratic equation?(1 point)
The square root property may be applied only if the constant is positive.
Isolate the quantity being squared.
After applying the square root property, solve the resulting equations. When taking the square root of both sides, use ± on the square root of the constant.
Answer:
The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is x, so divide both sides by 2 before applying the square root property.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the above question, we are given the expression: 2x^2=16 and we are asked the proper way to apply the square root property.
2x² = 16 is an algebraic equation
To apply square root property to an expression, there must be only one quantity that is squared.
Step 1
We divide both sides by 2
This is because we have to first eliminate the coefficient of x
2x²/2 = 16/2
x² = 8
Step 2
Now that we have eliminated the coefficient of x², we can apply the square root property now because x is the only quantity that is squared.
√x² = √8
x = √8
Therefore, Option 2 which says: "The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is x, so divide both sides by 2 before applying the square root property." is the correct option
A plane took off at a point that is 42 meters from the control tower. The flight path takes the plane over the control tower that is 98 meters high. After traveling 83 meters, which statement is most accurate?
A. The plane needs to be about 15 meters higher to clear the tower.
B. The plane clears the tower with about 27 meters to spare.
C. The plane clears the tower with about 15 meters to spare.
D. The plane needs to be about 27 meters higher to clear the tower.
Answer:
D. The plane needs to be about 27 meters higher to clear the tower.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this scenario a triangle is being formed. The base the plane's takeoff point to the tower base which is 42 meters (x).
The hypothenus is the distance travelled by the plane which is 83 meters (h)
The height of the tower is 98 Meters
We want to calculate the height of our triangle (y) so we can guage if the plane scaled the tower.
According to Pythagorean theorem
(x^2) + (y^2) = h^2
y = √ (h^2) - (x^2)
y = √ (83^2) - (42^2)
y= √(6889 - 1764)
y= 71.59 Meters
The height from the plane's position to the top of the tower will be
Height difference = 98 - 71.59 = 26.41 Meters
So the plane should go about 27 Meters higher to clear the tower
A sample of 31 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 11, and the population standard deviation is 3. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.05 significance level. H0: μ ≤ 10 H1: μ > 10 Is this a one- or two-tailed test?
Answer:
The test is a two -tailed test
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 31
The sample mean is [tex]\= x =11[/tex]
The sample standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 3[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o: \mu \le 10[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1 : \mu > 10[/tex]
The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
The test statistics is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{ 11 - 10 }{ \frac{3}{\sqrt{ 31} } }[/tex]
[tex]t = 1.85[/tex]
The p- value is mathematically represented as
[tex]p-value = p( t > 1.856) = 0.0317[/tex]
Looking at the value of [tex]p-value \ and \ \alpha[/tex] we see that [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] hence we reject the null hypothesis
Given the that the p value is less than 0.05 it mean the this is a two-tailed test
How hot does it get in Death Valley? The following data are taken from a study conducted by the National Park System, of which Death Valley is a unit. The ground temperatures (°F) were taken from May to November in the vicinity of Furnace Creek. Compute the mean, median, and mode for these ground temperatures. (Enter your answers to one decimal place.) 147 153 170 172 185 181 182 185 181 170 181 167 153 145
Answer:
Mean: 169.4
Median: 171
Mode: 181
Step-by-step explanation:
I first sorted the numbers by value, least to greatest.
145 147 153 153 167 170 170 172 181 181 181 182 185 185
We can see that 181 occurs the most, 3 times, so it's the mode.
The median of this set will be the middle number(s).
When we take away 6 numbers from both sides we are left with 170 and 172, and the mean of these two numbers is 171. So the median is 171.
We can add all the numbers and divide by 14 to get the mean.
[tex]147+153+170+172+185+181+182+185+181+170+181+167+153+145=2372\\\\2372\div14\approx169.4[/tex]
Hope this helped!
