A person in good physical condition can put out 100 W of useful power for several hours at a stretch, perhaps by pedaling a mech

Lena [83]

Answer:

40 persons

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided :

The power put out by a single person = 100 W

Power required by an electric clothes dryer = 4.00 kW = 4000 W

Thus,

The number of persons required to produce 4000 W of power

= ( Power required ) / ( power produced per person )

or

= (4000 W) / (100 W/ person)

or

= 40 persons

Hence, the number of persons required is 40

Dannette and Alphonso work for a computer repair company. They must include the time it takes to complete each repair in their r

olga55 [171]

Answer:

(a):

Dannette Alphonso

$\bar x_D = 4.33$ $\bar x_A = 5.17$

$M_D = 2.5$ $M_A = 5$

$\sigma_D = 3.350$ $\sigma_A = 1.951$

$IQR_D = 7$ $IQR_A = 1.5$

(b):

Measure of center: Median

Measure of spread: Interquartile range

(c):

There are no outliers in Dannette's dataset

There are outliers in Alphonso's dataset

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for the appropriate data presentation

Solving (a): Mean, Median, Standard deviation and IQR of each

From the attached plots, we have:

IQR_A = 1.5 ---- Dannette

$A = \{3,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,6,6,11\}$ ---- Alphonso

n = 12 --- number of dataset

Mean

The mean is calculated

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$\bar x_D = \frac{1+1+1+1+2+2+3+7+8+8+9+9}{12}$

$\bar x_D = \frac{52}{12}$

$\bar x_D = 4.33$ --- Dannette

$\bar x_A = \frac{3+4+4+4+4+5+5+5+5+6+6+11}{12}$

$\bar x_A = \frac{62}{12}$

$\bar x_A = 5.17$ --- Alphonso

Median

The median is calculated as:

$M = \frac{n + 1}{2}th$

$M = \frac{12 + 1}{2}th$

$M = \frac{13}{2}th$

$M = 6.5th$

This implies that the median is the mean of the 6th and the 7th item.

So, we have:

$M_D = \frac{2+3}{2}$

$M_D = \frac{5}{2}$

$M_D = 2.5$ ---- Dannette

$M_A = \frac{5+5}{2}$

$M_A = \frac{10}{2}$

$M_A = 5$ ---- Alphonso

Standard Deviation

This is calculated as:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n}}$

So, we have:

$\sigma_D = \sqrt{\frac{(1 - 4.33)^2 +.............+(9- 4.33)^2}{12}}$

$\sigma_D = \sqrt{\frac{134.6668}{12}}$

$\sigma_D = 3.350$ ---- Dannette

$\sigma_A = \sqrt{\frac{(3-5.17)^2+............+(11-5.17)^2}{12}}$

$\sigma_A = \sqrt{\frac{45.6668}{12}}$

$\sigma_A = 1.951$ --- Alphonso

The Interquartile Range (IQR)

This is calculated as:

$IQR =Q_3 - Q_1$

Where

$Q_3 \to$ Upper Quartile and $Q_1 \to$ Lower Quartile

$Q_3$ is calculated as:

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}*({n + 1})th$

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}*(12 + 1})th$

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}*13th$

$Q_3 = 9.75th$

This means that $Q_3$ is the mean of the 9th and 7th item. So, we have:

$Q_3 = \frac{1}{2} * (8+8) = \frac{1}{2} * 16$ $Q_3 = \frac{1}{2} * (5+6) = \frac{1}{2} * 11$

$Q_3 = 8$ ---- Dannette $Q_3 = 5.5$ --- Alphonso

$Q_1$ is calculated as:

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}*({n + 1})th$

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}*({12 + 1})th$

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}*13th$

$Q_1 = 3.25th$

This means that $Q_1$ is the mean of the 3rd and 4th item. So, we have:

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{2}(1+1) = \frac{1}{2} * 2$ $Q_1 = \frac{1}{2}(4+4) = \frac{1}{2} * 8$

$Q_1 = 1$ --- Dannette $Q_1 = 4$ ---- Alphonso

So, the IQR is:

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

$IQR_D = 8 - 1$ $IQR_A = 5.5 - 4$

$IQR_D = 7$ --- Dannette $IQR_A = 1.5$ --- Alphonso

Solving (b): The measures to compare

Measure of center

By observation, we can see that there are outliers is the plot of Alphonso (because 11 is far from the other dataset) while there are no outliers in Dannette plot (as all data are close).

Since, the above is the case; we simply compare the median of both because it is not affected by outliers

Measure of spread

Compare the interquartile range of both, as it is arguably the best measure of spread, because it is also not affected by outliers.

Solving (c): Check for outlier

To check for outlier, we make use of the following formulas:

$Lower =Q_1 - 1.5 * IQR$

$Upper =Q_3 + 1.5 * IQR$

For Dannette:

$Lower = 1 - 1.5 * 7 = -9.5$

$Upper = 8 + 1.5 * 7 = 18.5$

Since, the dataset are all positive, we change the lower outlier to 0.

So, the valid data range are:

$Valid = 0 \to 18.5$

From the question, the range of Dannette's dataset is: 1 to 9. Hence, there are no outliers in Dannette's dataset

For Alphonso:

$Lower = 4 - 1.5 * 1.5 =1.75$

$Upper = 5.5 + 1.5 * 1.5 =7.75$

So, the valid data range are:

$Valid = 1.75\to 7.75$

From the question, the range of Alphonso's dataset is: 3 to 11. Hence, there are outliers in Alphonso's dataset

PLEASE HELP ITS MATH

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

y = 4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

as the line is parallel to the given equation, the gradient (4x) must stay the same, and as it must pass through the point (-2, -5), we can solve for the y intercept:

to calculate for the y intercept, it is best to express the equation in slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

in this equation, mx stands for the gradient, which ive already highlighted remains 4x, and b stands for the y intercept (which we don't know yet).

y = 4x + b

what we have been given instead is the coordinates for the point this line crosses through (-2,-5) meaning when x = -2, y = -5.

Using this information, we can replace x and y in the equation:

-5 = 4(-2) + b

with consideration to the order of operations, it is important to solve the brackets first

-5 = -8 + b

now to get b by itself add 8 to both sides of the equation:

-5 + 8 = -8 + 8 + b

3 = b

now we remember from the slope intercept equation, b = the y intercept, so we can now solve the equation.

y = 4x + b

replace b with the number we solved for (3).

y = 4x + 3

this is the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 4x + 1, and passes through the point (-2, -5)

hope this helps :)
