Answer:
a) 48.408
b) 1.235
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
The average hardness value xbar can be computed as
xbar=sum of values/number of values
xbar=(46.5+46.9+49.4+50.3+49.8+48.8+47+47.7+48.3+49.4+47.8+49)/12
xbar=580.9/12
xbar=48.408 (rounded to 3 decimal places).
The average hardness value is 48.408.
b)
The standard deviation hardness value s can be computed as

x x-xbar (x-xbar)
²
46.5 -1.90833 3.64174
46.9 -1.50833 2.27507
49.4 0.99167 0.98340
50.3 1.89167 3.57840
49.8 1.39167 1.93674
48.8 0.39167 0.15340
47.0 -1.40833 1.98340
47.7 -0.70833 0.50174
48.3 -0.10833 0.01174
49.4 0.99167 0.98340
47.8 -0.60833 0.37007
49.0 0.59167 0.35007
Total 16.7692




s=1.235 (rounded to 3 decimal places)
The standard deviation hardness value is 1.235.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Required
f(10)
An exponential function is represented as:

impleies that:
--- (1)
implies that
--- (2)
Divide (2) by (1)



Take 4th root

Substitute
in 


Solve for (a)


f(10) is calculated as:



Perform the indicated multiplication first: -15 + 5q + 4 = 5q - 11
Note that 5q appears on both sides of this equation. Cancelling, we get :
-11 = -11. This is always true. Thus, -5(3-q) +4=5q-11 is true for all q.
Here, we just use the following x values and put them into the equation.
y = - 0.05x + 16
y = -0.5(0) + 16
y = 16
y = - 0.05x + 16
y = -0.5(160) + 16
y = -80 + 16
y = -64
y = - 0.05x + 16
y = -0.5(320) + 16
y = - 160 + 16
y = -144
Now, to set up the table, you could list the x values and the y values.
x values :- 0,160, 320
y values:- 16, -64, -144
We divide 40 by 1/2:-
40 / 1/2 = 40 * 2/1 = 80 answer
