Jeremy loves snowboarding. His favorite stunt is catching big air and jumping off the ramp while holding on to the snowboard. Je

remy did this 20 times and recorded the heights (in meters) he achieved in each attempt. He wants to know whether his data set has negative, positive, or zero skew. {18, 23, 15, 16, 15, 17, 22, 16, 19, 11, 24, 14, 12, 16, 20, 18, 14, 13, 21, 11} Jeremy's data set shows skew.

Two numbers whose sum is 44 and whose product is a maximum
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

x = y = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

It would help to know your math course. Do you know any calculus? I'll assume not.

Equations

x + y = 44

Max = xy

Solution

y = 44 - x

Max = x (44 - x)                    Remove the brackets

Max = 44x - x^2                   Use the distributive property to take out - 1 on the right.

Max = - (x^2 - 44x )               Complete the square inside the brackets.

Max = - (x^2 - 44x + (44/2)^2 ) + (44 / 2)^2 . You have to understand this step. What you have done  is taken 1/2 the x term and squared it. You are trying to complete the square. You must compensate by adding that amount on the end of the equation. You add because of that minus sign outside the brackets. The number inside will be minus when the brackets are removed.

Max = -(x - 22)^2 + 484

The maximum occurs when x = 22. That's because - (x - 22) becomes 0.

If it is not zero it will be minus and that will subtract from 484

x + y = 44

xy = 484

When you solve this, you find that x = y = 22 If you need more detail, let me know.

Find the number that makes the 2 fractions equivalent 3/8=9/?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerator of the equivalent fraction of 3/8 is 9. From this, we can see that the common factor that is being multiplied is 3. So the denominator, 8, has to be multiplied by 3 as well which gives you 24. 9/24 is an equivalent fraction of 3/8

A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between 48.0 and 58.
Yanka [14]

Answer: 0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between the interval [48.0 minutes, 58.0 minutes].

The probability density function :-

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{58-48}=\dfrac{1}{10}

Now, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes is given by :-

\int^{50.5}_{50.25}\ f(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{50.5}_{50.25}\ \dfrac{1}{10}\ dx\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}|x|^{50.5}_{50.25}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}\ [50.5-50.25]=\dfrac{1}{10}\times(0.25)=0.025

Hence, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes =0.025

Similarly , the probability of selecting a class that runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes = 0.025

Katie wants to buy some popcorn for her family at the theater. Each small tub of popcorn costs $3 and each large tub of popcorn
Molodets [167]

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Represents the amount of small popcorn tubs

y: Represents the amount of large popcorn tubs

According to the data we have to:

3x + 4y = 24 (Spending all the money in your wallet)

x + y = 7 (Buying 7 popcorn tubs)

From the second equation we have:

x = 7-y

Substituting in the first equation:

3 (7-y) + 4y = 24\\21-3y + 4y = 24\\21 + y = 24\\y = 24-21\\y = 3

Thus, Katie can buy 3 large tubs of popcorn.

So:

x = 7-3\\x = 4

In addition, you can buy 4 small tubs of popcorn.

Answer:

3 large popcorn tubs.

4 small popcorn tubs.
