Is a measure of 25 inches​ "far away" from a mean of 16 ​inches? As someone with knowledge of​ statistics, you answer​ "it depen

ds" and request the standard deviation of the underlying data. ​(a) Suppose the data come from a sample whose standard deviation is 3 inches. How many standard deviations is 25 inches from 16 ​inches? ​(b) Is 25 inches far away from a mean of 16 ​inches? ​(c) Suppose the standard deviation of the underlying data is 7 inches. Is 25 inches far away from a mean of 16 ​inches?

Answer:

a) 25 is 3 standard deviation from the mean

b) Is far away from the mean, only 0,3 % away from the right tail

c) 25 is pretty close to the mean (just a little farther from 1 standard deviation)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a Normal Distribution with mean 16 in.

Case a) we also have a standard deviation of 3 inches

3* 3 = 9  

16 (the mean) plus 3*σ  equal 25 in. the evaluated value, then the value is 3 standard deviation from the mean

Case b) 25 is in the range of 99,7 % of all value, we can say that value is far away from the mean, considering that is only 0,3 % away from the right tail

Case c) If the standard deviation is 7 then

mean + 1*σ  =  16 + 7 =23

25> 23

25 is pretty close to the mean only something more than 1 standard deviation

a scuba diver descended at a rate of 2 1/4 per second. If 0 represents the surface of the water and distances below the surface
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The location will be at - 28\frac{1}{8} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scuba diver descended at a rate of 2\frac{1}{4} units per second.

Now, if 0 represents the surface of the water and distances below the surface are negative, then after 12\frac{1}{2} seconds the location of the diver will be given by the followings :

In one second the diver descends by 2.25 units depth.

So, in 12.5 seconds the diver will descend by (2.25 \times 12.5) = 28.125 units i.e. 28\frac{1}{8} units depth.

Therefore, the location will be at - 28\frac{1}{8} units. (Answer)

Three people play a game on each spinner in the previos problem.
arlik [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All other things being equal, spinner A is fine. It is a fair spinner.

Spinner B is not fair. Players 1 and 3 have only 1 number each. Player 2 on the other hand, has 2 numbers that work for him. If player 2 puts in two dollars and players 1 and 3 one dollar each, that should even up the odds. Now you want it just to be fair. So I think player 2 has to put up 2 dollars and players 1 and 3 each put up one. The pot is 4 dollars each time it is played.

Spinner 3 is not fair either. Player one has 2 chances. Player 2 has 3 chances and player 3 has but one chance. There are 6 chances in all. Player 1 should put up 2 dollars to play player 1 should put up 3 dollars and player 1 should put up 1 dollar.

Can someone solve 5 + 2x = + 6<br><br> and n - 3n = 14 - 4n<br><br> and 7 ( 5a - 4 ) - 1 = 14 - 8a
professor190 [17]

Answer:

5 + 2x = 6

2x = 6-5

2x = 1

x = 0.5

n -3n = 14 -4n

-2n = 14-4n (since 4n is negative, change the sign to make it positive and then add 4n to both sides of the equation)

2n = 14

n = 7

7 (5a - 4) - 1 = 14 - 8a

35a - 28 - 1 = 14 -8a

35a -29 = 14 - 8a

43a = 43

a = 1

The ratio of oranges to apples in Helen's basket is 4:3. The basket has 12 apples in it. How many oranges are in the basket?
frez [133]

Answer:

16 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of oranges to apples is 4:3 which means that for every four oranges, there are 3 apples.

Since there are 12 apples in the basket, to find the number of oranges, set up a ratio.

4/3 = x/12 (x represents the number of oranges)

Cross multiply.

48 = 3x

Divide by 3.

x = 16

There are 16 oranges in the basket.

Hope that helps.

The circumference of a standard bowling ball is about 27 in. To the nearest unit, how many square inches is the surface area of
Sidana [21]
The surface area of a sphere is S=4 \pi  r^{2} where r is the radius;
The circumference is 2 \pi r=27 in so that r= \frac{27}{2 \pi }=4.5 in using this value we can evaluate the surface area of 1 ball as:
S=4 \pi r^{2} =4 \pi  (4.5)^{2} =254.3  in^{2}
For 100 ball you get: 100*254.3=25430  in^{2}
