Answer:

x = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies inversely with x, then:

y \propto \dfrac{1}{x} \implies y=\dfrac{k}{x} \quad \textsf{(for some constant k)}

Given:

  • y = 1.6 when x = 0.5

Substitute the given values into the found equation and solve for k:

\implies 1.6=\dfrac{k}{0.5}

\implies k=1.6(0.5)

\implies k=0.8

Therefore:

y=\dfrac{0.8}{x}

To find the value of x when y = 3.2, substitute y = 3.2 into the found equation and solve for x:

\implies 3.2=\dfrac{0.8}{x}

\implies x=\dfrac{0.8}{3.2}

\implies x=0.25

The athletic departments at 10 randomly selected U.S. universities were asked by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to
Lesechka [4]

Answer: Mean = 3.5 , median = 2.5, mode = 2, geometric mean = 2.74

Median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

The least appropriate = mean

Yes there is an outlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given responses : 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5.

First arrange them in increasing order, \sqrt[10]{1\times1\times2\times2\times2\times3\times4\times5\times5\times10 }\\\\=\sqrt[10]{24000} \approx2.74

Its sum = 35

Mean of n observations = (Sum of observations) ÷ n

Mean = (35) ÷ 10

=3.5

Here n =10 (even)

Median = average of middle most numbers = \dfrac{2+3}{2}=\dfrac52=2.5

Mode = most repeated number = 2    (thrice)

geometric mean = \sqrt[n]{x_1\times x_2\times.... x_n}

10 is an outlier as it is very large as compare to other numbers.

When outlier is present in data , the median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

Mean affected badly by the outlier so it the least appropriate.

A box is to be constructed with a rectangular base and a height of h cm. The length, l, of the box is 10 cm, and the width, w, i
Svetradugi [14.3K]
<span>The formula for the volume of a box is: Volume = L*W*H We know that the length is 10 cm. We know that the width is twice the height, so W = 2H. Then our volume equation is: Volume = 10*2H*H Volume = 20*H^2 Since H^2 is in the equation, this is a quadratic equation.</span>
