a. The median is 70, the mode is 60, and the mean is 70.8.

b. Mean best captures the data.

c. When there are outliers, the mean might be a deceptive center measure.

Calculating the Mean, Median, and Mode

Mean: Total number of sunglasses / total quantity of pries

Mean = (20 + 20 + 50 + 50 + 50 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 70 + 70 + 70 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 100 + 100 + 130) / 25

Mean = 70.8

Median is equal to the (n/2 + 1)th term.

The number of sunglasses in this case is n.

(25/2 + 1)th term as the median

Median = 13th term

Median is 70

Mode is the most frequent data

Therefore, mode = 70

Why is mean the most appropriate central measure ?

The mean is often the ideal measure of central tendency to use when your data distribution is continuous and symmetrical, such as when your data are normally distributed. So, mean here denotes the typical cost of the sunglasses.

Suppose I have an urn with 9 balls: 4 green, 3 yellow and 2 white ones. I draw a ball from the urn repeatedly with replacement.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$E(X_n)=\frac{2(n-1)}{27}$

$E(y)=\frac{14}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size n=9

Number of Green $g=4$

Number of yellow $y=4$

Number of white $w=4$

Probability of Green Followed by yellow P(GY) ball

$P(GY)=\frac{4}{9}*\frac{3}{9}$

$P(GY)=\frac{4}{27}$

Generally the equations for when n is even is mathematically given by

$Probability of success P(S)=\frac{4}{27}$

$Probability of Failure P(F)=\frac{27-4}{27}$

$Probability of Failure P(F)=\frac{23}{27}$

Therefore

$E(X_n)=\frac{n}{2}*P$

$E(X_n)=\frac{n}{2}*\frac{4}{27}$

$E(X_n)=\frac{2n}{27}$

Generally the equations for when n is odd is mathematically given by

$\frac{n-1}{2}$

$E(X_n)=\frac{n-1}{2}*\frac{4}{27}$

$E(X_n)=\frac{2(n-1)}{27}$

Probability of drawing white ball

$P(w)=\frac{2}{9}$

Therefore

$E(w)=\frac{1}{p}$

$E(w)=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{9}}$

$E(w)=\frac{9}{2}$

Therefore

$E(y)=[E(w)-1]\frac{4}{9}$

$E(y)=[\frac{9}{2}-1]\frac{4}{9}$

$E(y)=\frac{14}{9}$

(8w)^2 without parentheses

Nataly [62]

Answer:

I believe the answer would be 64w2.

Step-by-step explanation:

8 squared is 8 x 8, which equals 64, and then w squared is just w2, since we don't know what it is. Put them together, and the answer is 64w2.

Javier and his friends go out to eat. The restaurant they chose automatically adds a 15% gratuity to their food bill since they

siniylev [52]

well, we know that 213.90 includes the 15% gratuity, so if the meal price was say "x", namely that is the 100%, and we add 15% to that, then 100% + 15% = 115%, so 213.90 is really the 115%.

now, if 213.90 is the 115.%, what is "x"? the 100%.

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 213.90&115\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{213.9}{x}=\cfrac{115}{100}\implies 21390=115x \\\\\\ \cfrac{21390}{115}=x\implies 186=x$

so since we know the meal without the tip is 186 bucks, the tip was then 213.90 - 186 = 27.90.

but they got extra potato wedges with butter and the waitress was wearing her best hat, they added $20 more, so the tip ended up as 27.90 + 20 = 47.90.

now, if the cost of the meal was $186 and that is the 100%, what is 47.90 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 186&100\\ 47.90&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{186}{47.90}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 186x=4790 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{4790}{186}\implies x\approx \stackrel{\%}{25.75}$
