The estimated standard deviation from the range rule is 145.5 cm3.As it is 29.8 cm3 smaller than the exact standard deviation, we consider that the estimation is not accurate enough.

Generally, brain volumes which are smaller than 921.1 cm3 can be considered significantly low and bigger than 1417.5 cm3 can be considered significantly high. Hence, brain volume of 1457.5 cm3 is bigger than the expected maximum, so it can be considered significantly high.

The calculation goes like this,

According to the range rule, the standard deviation and range, or the distance between the maximum and smallest value, are roughly inversely proportional:

s=R/4

If we have a sample of 50 brains volumes, and they range from 910 cm3 to 1492 cm3, we can estimate the standard deviation as:

s=max-min/4

s=1492-910/4=582/4=145.5

The exact standard deviation is 175.3 cm3.The difference is 175.3-145.5=29.8 cm3, so the estimation is not accurate enough.

The range rule of thumb states that we should anticipate a maximum value that is approximately two standard deviations above the mean and a lowest value that is approximately two standard deviations below the mean. The expected ranges are as follows given our mean volume of 1169.3 cm3 and standard deviation of 124.1 cm3:

Min= M-2s=1169.3-2*124.1=921.1

Max=M+2s=1169.3+2*124.1=1417.5

The brain capacity of 1457.5 cm3 can be regarded as significantly high because it is higher than the predicted maximum.

What non-zero rational number must be placed in the square so that the simplified product of these two binomials is a binomial:
aleksandrvk [35]

The product would expand to

(7t-10)(5t+x)=35t^2+7tx-50t-10x=35t^2+(7x-50)t-10x

This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable x.

So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.

In the first case, we require

7x-50=0 \iff 7x=50 \iff x=\dfrac{50}{7}=\dfrac{49}{7}+\dfrac{1}{7}=7\dfrac{1}{7}

In the second case, we require

-10x=0\iff 10x=0 \iff x=0

But x must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.

What is the volume of a right trianular prism with the dimesions of 15 11 17
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

1402.5 Cubic Units

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a Triangular Prism: V = \frac{1}{2}bhl

b - base

h - height

l - length  

15 is the height, 17 is the length, and 11 is the width  (assuming which is the base).

V=0.5 * (11 * 15 * 17) \\V=0.5*2085\\V=1402.5

The volume of the prism should be 1402.5 cubic units.

A bag contains 12 discs
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

If they are both red, 7/22

If both blue, 1/22

Yellow, 1/66

Step-by-step explanation:

7/12 times 6/11 (both decrease by one because there is no replacement)

3/12 times 2/11

2/12 times 1/11

Write an equation to match each graph:
castortr0y [4]

From what I know this graph looks like that of a modulus function except it's shifted 1 unit to right and 1 unit below the origin.

So the original equation must be:
y = |x|

And the transformed equation (aka the equation if this graph) must be,

y+1 = |x| -1

y = |x| -2
