According to a Los Angeles Times study of more than 1 million medical dispatches from to , the response time for medical aid var

ies dramatically across Los Angeles (LA Times website, November 2012). Under national standards adopted by the Los Angeles Fire Department, rescuers are supposed to arrive within six minutes to almost all medical emergencies. But the Times analysis found that in affluent hillside communities stretching from Griffith Park to Pacific Palisades, firefighters failed to hit that mark nearly of the time. The following data show the response times, in minutes, for emergency calls in the Griffith Park neighborhood.
11.8 10.3 10.7 10.6 11.5 8.3 10.5 10.9 10.7 11.2

Based on this sample of ten response times, compute the following descriptive statistics:
a. Mean, median, and mode
b. Range and standard deviation
c. Should the response time of 8.3 minutes be considered an outlier in comparison to the other response times?

Answer:

A)Mean :10.65

Median =10.7

Mode : 10.7

B)Range = 3.5

Standard deviation :0.89916

C)The response time of 8.3 minutes should be considered an outlier in comparison to the other response times

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Data : 11.8 ,10.3, 10.7, 10.6, 11.5, 8.3, 10.5, 10.9, 10.7, 11.2

Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}\\Mean = \frac{11.8 +10.3+ 10.7+ 10.6+ 11.5+ 8.3+ 10.5+ 10.9+ 10.7+ 11.2}{10}

Mean = 10.65

Median: The mid value of the data

Data in ascending order

8.3

10.3

10.5

10.6

10.7

10.7

10.9

11.2

11.5

11.8

n=10(even)

Median = \frac{(\frac{n}{2})\text{th term}+(\frac{n}{2}+1)\text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{(\frac{10}{2})\text{th term}+(\frac{10}{2}+1)\text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{10.7+10.7}{2}\\Median = 10.7

Mode : the most occurring frequency

10.7 is occurring twice while others are occurring once

So, Mode is 10.7

B) Range = Maximum - Minimum=11.8-8.3=3.5

Standard deviation : \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}

Standard deviation :\sqrt{\frac{(11.8-10.65)^2+(10.3-10.65)^2+......+(10.9-10.65)^2+(10.7-10.65)^2+(11.2-10.65)^2}{10}}

Standard deviation :0.89916

C)

For Q1 ( Median of lower quartile )

8.3

,10.3

,10.5

,10.6

,10.7

Median = \frac{n+1}{2}\text{th term} =\frac{5+1}{2}=3 \text{rd term}=10.5

For Q3( Median of Upper quartile )

10.7

,10.9

,11.2

,11.5

,11.8

Median = \frac{n+1}{2}\text{th term} =\frac{5+1}{2}=3 \text{rd term}=11.2

IQR = Q3-Q1=11.2-10.5=0.7

Range :(Q1-1.5IQR, Q3-1.5IQR)

Range :(10.5-1.5 \times 0.7, 11.2-1.5 \times 0.7)

Range :(9.45, 10.15)

8.3 does not lie in this interval

So, the response time of 8.3 minutes should be considered an outlier in comparison to the other response times

Solve for x in this equation:3/4+|5-x|=13/4
S_A_V [24]
Well, anything in absolute value lines become positive, so the equation would be:

3/4+5+x=13/4

Next we subtract 3/4 to both sides to start separating the variable (x).

So, 5+x=10/4


Next, we subtract 5 from both sides. (5= 20/4)

And we get: x=-10/4.

I hope this helps!

Challenger Elementary School has 8 0 0 800800 students. Every Wednesday, 1 2 % 12%12, percent of the students stay after school
Juliette [100K]
You need to calculate 12% of 800.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.
Change the percent into a decimal by dividing the percent by 100 (move the decimal point of the percent two places to the left.)

12% of 800 =

= 12% * 800

= 0.12 * 800

= 96

Solve the following differential equation: (1− 5 y +x) dy/dx +y= 5/x −1 .<br><br> C=
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

y(1+x)+x-5\ln xy=C

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given differential equation is

(1-\frac{5}{y}+x)\frac{dy}{dx}+y=\frac{5}{x}-1

(1-\frac{5}{y}+x)\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{5}{x}-1-y

(1-\frac{5}{y}+x)dy=(\frac{5}{x}-1-y)dx

Taking all variables on right sides.

(1-\frac{5}{y}+x)dy-(\frac{5}{x}-1-y)dx=0

(-\frac{5}{x}+1+y)dx+(1-\frac{5}{y}+x)dy=0

Let as assume,

M=-\frac{5}{x}+1+y and N=1-\frac{5}{y}+x

Find partial derivatives \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} and \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}

\frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=1 and \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}=1

Since \frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial N}{\partial x}, therefore the given differential equation is exact.

The solution of the exact differential equation is

\int Mdx+\int N(\text{without x)}dy=C

\int (-\frac{5}{x}+1+y)dx+\int (1-\frac{5}{y})dy=C

yx-5\ln x+x+y-5\ln y=C

y+x+xy-5\ln x-5\ln y=C

y(1+x)+x-5(\ln x+\ln y)=C

y(1+x)+x-5\ln xy=C

ANSWER ASAP IM BEING TIMED
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Standard form means that you write the terms by descending degree.

x^4y^2 + 4x^3y + 10x^2

The degree of the first term x^4y^2 is 4+2=6

The degree of the second term 4x^3y is 3+1=4

The degree of the third term 10x^2 is 2

The terms are written by descending degree. Therefore, polynomial x^4y^2 + 4x^3y + 10x^2 is written in standard form.

Step-by-step explanation: I hope this helps <3
