A neuroscientist measures the reaction times (in seconds) during an experimental session in a sample of cocaine-addicted (n = 8)

, morphine-addicted (n = 6), and heroin-addicted rats (n = 12). Mean reaction times in each sample were 12, 13, and 17 seconds, respectively. What is the weighted mean for all three samples? Hint: The overall mean is not 14.0 seconds. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

14.54

Step-by-step explanation:

In a <em>weighted average</em> a “weight” is associated to each value.

The weighted mean is computed the following way:

Suppose you want to calculate the weighted mean of the values  

a1, a1, …, an

with weights

w1, w2,..., wn

Then  

<em>Weighted mean</em> =(w1*a1+w2*a2+... +wn*an)/(w1+w2+...+wn)

In this case we have  

a1= 12, w1 = 8

a2 = 13, w2 = 6

a3 = 17, w3 = 12

<u>Weighted mean  </u>

(12*8+13*6+17*12)/(8+6+12) = 14.54 rounded to 2 decimal places.

Given that JKV is a triangle.

We need to determine the translated image of the coordinate V using the rule (x, y) \rightarrow(x-3, y+6)

<u>New point V:</u>

The coordinate of the point V is (4,-1)

The new point V can be determined using the rule (x, y) \rightarrow(x-3, y+6)

Now, substituting the point (4,-1) in the rule, we get;

New point = (4-3,-1+6)

Simplifying the terms, we get;

New point = (1,5)

Thus, the coordinate of the new point V is (1,5)

Please help me on #18, don't know how to do the question.

Option B) Determine the volume of the cake V= πr²h and divide that amount by 18

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • It is given that, the birthday cake is in the shape of the cylinder.
  • Therefore, to find the entire volume of the cake, the volume of the cylinder formula is used.

<u>The volume of the cylinder is given by,</u>

Volume of the birthday cake = πr²h

After that, it was asked to find the volume of each piece of the cake.

In this case, the birthday cake is cut into 18 pieces.

We already know the total volume of the birthday cake which is πr²h.

In order to find the volume of each piece of cut cake, the total volume must be divided by the number of parts it has been cut into pieces.

Here, the whole part of the cake is 1.

The number of parts it has been divided after it is made into pieces = 18 parts.

Therefore, the volume of the birthday cake must be divided by 18 to get the volume of each piece of cake.

Option B) Determine the volume of the cake V= πr²h and divide that amount by 18 is correct.
