Two high school basketball players each played 5 games. Their stats are summarized below:

Player A: Stats on 5 games → mean points scored = 25, standard deviation = 4
Player B: Scored 23, 27, 28, 22, 25 points on 5 consecutive games

Suppose a university basketball scout (a person who finds new players for a university's team) is deciding which player to recruit. Who should they choose? Justify your response. [3 marks]

HINT: Compare mean and variance of each player.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Player B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Player A has a mean score of 25.

Let's calculate Player B's mean score and compare it to Player A's.

23 + 27 + 28 + 22 + 25 / 5 = 125 / 5 = 25.

So, Player A and Player B have the same mean score.

This doesn't tell the scout which player is "better", so let's look at the variance.

The other statistic given for Player A is the standard deviation for their points. The given number is 4. Let’s calculate the standard deviation for Player B, and compare it to player A.

Recall that we add up the squares of the difference between each score and the mean, divide it by the total number of data, and square root that. So, the standard deviation for player B is sqrt(2^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 0^2 / 5) = sqrt (26/5) = sqrt (5.2) = 2.3.

Excellent. We have player A’s standard deviation, as well as player B’s standard of deviation. Since player B’s standard deviation is less than player A’s, it can be inferred that player B has more consistent results than player A, and the scout should get Player B.

Hope this helps!

find the LCM and hcf of 72 and 162 , leaving the LCM in prime factors

Answers

Answers:  LCM = 2^3*3^4HCF = 18

=========================================================

Explanation:

Find the prime factorization of 72 and 162

72 = 8*9 = 2^3*3^2162 = 2*81 = 2*9^2 = 2*(3^2)^2 = 2*3^4

Here's a simplified version of each

72 = 2^3*3^2162 = 2*3^4

We have these unique primes: 2, 3

Circle the terms that have the largest exponents for each of those unique primes. So you'll circle 2^3 and 3^4. Those items circled will multiply together to get the LCM.

This means 2^3*3^4 is the LCM (lowest common multiple).

2^3*3^4 turns into 648, but your teacher wants you to keep the LCM in prime factor form.

------------------------------

Now onto the HCF (highest common factor; aka GCF).

Looking at

72 = 2^3*3^2162 = 2*3^4

We again see '2's and '3's as the unique primes. Both have at 1 copy of '2' between them. They also both have 3^2 between them. It might help to think of 3^4 as 3^2*3^2.

Those common factors you circled are then multiplied.

Overall, the HCF is 2*3^2 = 2*9 = 18

-----------------------------

Side note: The HCF is useful to help reduce fractions, while the LCM is useful to help find the LCD (lowest common denominator) when adding or subtracting fractions of different denominators. There are other applications of each of these.

Answer:

LCM= 648

HCF= 18

128 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2) h

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height

A =1/2( 10+22) * 8

A = 1/2 (32)8

  = 128

Answer:

A=128 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a trapezoid and we want to find the area of it

The area of a trapezoid is given as [tex]\frac{a+b}{2}h[/tex], where a and b are the bases and h is the height

The bases are the parallel sides

They are the sides marked as 10 cm and 22 cm in this case

The height is the distance between the bases

In this case, it is the side marked as 8 cm

We know everything needed for the area, let's just label everything to avoid any confusion

a=10

b=22

h=8

Now substitute into the formula

A=[tex]\frac{a+b}{2}h[/tex]

A=[tex]\frac{10+22}{2}*8[/tex]

add the numbers on the numerator together

A=[tex]\frac{32}{2}*8[/tex]

Divide 32 by 2

A=16*8

multiply

A=128 cm²

The Nissan had traveled (120 km/h)(1/3 h) = 40 km when it had the puncture. It started from that location when the puncture was repaired at t = (1/3+1/2) = 5/6, where t is in hours. Then the two vehicles met (again) when ...

  Matatu distance = Nissan distance

  90t = 40+120(t -5/6)

Find the measure of arc BC?

Answers

Answer:

129

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

AD = BC

AD = 3x + 24

BC = 4x - 11

3x + 24 = 4x - 11

4x - 11 = 3x + 24

4x - 3x = 24 + 11

x = 35

BC = 4x - 11

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-2(sin(2x))-7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

Given information:

The graph intersects the midline at (0, -7)The graph has a minimum point at ([tex]\frac{\pi}{4}[/tex], 9).

What conclusions can be made about this function:

The graph is a sine function, as its y-intercept intersects the midlineThis graph has a negative coefficient, this is because after intersecting the midlines at the y-intercept, the function has a minimum.This graph does not appear to have undergone any horizontal shift, as it intercepts the midlines with its y-intercept

Therefore, one has the following information figured out:

[tex]y=-n(sin(ax))+b[/tex]

Now one has to find the following information:

amplitudemidlineperiod

2. Midline

The midlines can simply be defined as a line that goes through a sinusoidal function, cutting the function in half. This is represented by the constant (b). One is given that point (0, -7) is where the graph intersects the midline. The (y-coordinate) of this point is the midline. Therefore, the midline is the following:

y = -7

2. Amplitude

The amplitude is represented by the coefficient (n). It can simply be defined by the distance from the midline to point of maximum (the highest part of a sinusoidal function) or point of minimum (lowest point on the function). Since the function reaches a point of minimum after intercepting the (y-axis) at its midlines, the amplitude is a negative coefficient. One can find the absolute value of the amplitude by finding the difference of the (y-coordinate) of the point of minimum (or maximum) and the absolute value of the midline.

point of minimum: [tex](\frac{\pi}{4},9)[/tex]

midline: [tex]y=-7[/tex]

Amplitude: 9 - |-7| = 9 - 7 = 2

3. Period

The period of a sinusoidal function is the amount of time it takes to reach the same point on the wave. In essence, if one were to select any point on the sinusoidal function, and draw a line going to the right, how long would it take for that line to reach a point on the function that is identical to the point at which it started. This can be found by taking the difference of the (x- coordinate) of the intersection point of the midline, and the (x-coordinate) of the point of minimum, and multiplying it by (4).

point of minimum: [tex](\frac{\pi}{4},9)[/tex]

midline intersection: [tex](0, -7)[/tex]

Period: [tex]4(\frac{\pi}{4}-0)=4(\frac{\pi}{4})=\pi[/tex]

However, in order to input this into the function in place of the variable (a), one has to divide this number by ([tex]2\pi[/tex]).

[tex]a=\frac{2\pi}{\pi}=2[/tex]

4. Assemble the function

One now has the following solutions to the variables:

[tex]n =-16\\a=2\\b=-7\\[/tex]

Substitute these values into the function:

[tex]y=-2(sin(2x))-7[/tex]

Find The Surface Area Of The Prism

Answers

Answer:

360 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of each face of the triangular prism.

Imagine the triangular prism as its net, it is composed with 2 triangular faces (these are tye bases of the prism) and 3 rectangular faces.

Areas of the 2 triangular bases (they are similar triangles):

1/2 x 8 cm x 6 cm = 24 cm^2

24 x 2 = 48 cm^2

Area of the rectangular face:

8 x 13 = 104 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

6 cm x 13 cm = 78 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

13 cm x 10 cm = 130 cm^2

Add up all the areas of all faces:

48 + 104 + 78 + 130 = 360

So the SA is 360 cm^2

Wendy brought 4 cakes and 2 pies for $20. The cost of a cake is twice the cost of 1 pie. A) What was the cost of one cake b)What was the cost of 1 pie?

Answers

Answer:

a. The cost of one cake is $4.

b. The cost of one pie is $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of cake be C.Let the cost of pie be P

C = 2P  .....equation 1

4C + 2P = 20  .....equation 2

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;

4(2P) + 2P = 20

8P + 2P = 20

10P = 20

P = 20/10

Pie, P = $2

Next, we would determine the cost of a cake;

From equation 1;

C = 2P

Substituting the value of "P" we have;

C = 2 * 2

Cake, C = $4

Therefore, we would have the following answers;

a. The cost of one cake is $4.

b. The cost of one pie is $2.

Check:

From equation 2;

4C + 2P = 20

4(4) + 2(2) = 20

16 + 4 = 20

20 = 20
