The maximum shower time is an illustration of mean and median, and the conclusion is to disagree with Blake's claim

<h3>How to interpret the shower time?</h3>

The question is incomplete, as the dataset (and the data elements) are not given.

So, I will answer this question using the following (assumed) dataset:

Shower time (in minutes): 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 12, 12, 12, 13, 15,

Calculate the mean:

Mean = Sum/Count

So, we have:

Mean = (6+ 7+ 7+ 8+ 8+ 9+ 9+ 9+ 12+ 12+ 12+ 13+ 15)/13

Mean = 9.8

The median is the middle element.

So, we have:

Median = 9

From the question, we have the following assumptions:

  • The shower time of students whose shower times are above 10 minutes, is 10 minutes
  • Other shower time remains unchanged.

So, the dataset becomes: 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10

The mean is:

Mean = (6+ 7+ 7+ 8+ 8+ 9+ 9+ 9+ 10+ 10+ 10+ 10+ 10)/13

Mean = 8.7

The median is the middle element.

So, we have:

Median = 9

From the above computation, we have the following table:

               Initial    Final

Mean         9.8        8.7

Median       9         9

Notice that the mean value changed, but it did not go below 8 as claimed by Blake; while the median remains unchanged.

Hence, the conclusion is to disagree with Blake's claim

Answer:

y = -1/4x^2 - x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6,0)

(-4,3)

(2,0)

36a - 6b + c = 0

16a -4b + c = 3

4a + 2b + c = 0

c = -4a - 2b

36a - 6b - 4a -2b = 0

16a - 4b -4a - 2b = 3

32a -8b = 0

12a - 6b = 3

4a - b  = 0

4a - 2b = 1

b = -1

4a + 1 = 0

4a = -1

a = -1/4

c = 1 + 2 = 3

y = -1/4x^2 - x + 3

Graph the function. Upload a handwritten copy of your graph as your final answer.
Serhud [2]
The function is divided in 2 parts:

For x<0, the function is y=x, which is a linear function, and its graph is a line.

For x≥0, the function is y=-x^2, which is a quadratic function, and its graph is a parabola.


Note that y=x is the line containing the points (0, 0), (1, 1), (5, 5) etc, that is, it is the line passing through the origin, with an inclination of 45° with the positive x-axis.


The parabola y=-x^2 is the parabola y=x^2 reflected with respect to the x-axis. It contains points like (0, 0), (-1, 1), (2, -4) etc...

The 2 graphs, with domain all real numbers, are shown in the first picture.

The second picture is the graph of the function described in our problem. We use the first picture, but restrict the domains.

That is, we delete the part of the line corresponding to x≥0, and the part of the parabola corresponding to x<0.
