Answer:

Choice B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The Interquartile Range (IQR) for Florida, 11, is greater than the IQR for Australia, 4.

The spread of a data set is a measure of the dispersion or variability of the data set. The spread can be measured by various statistical quantities depending on the nature of the data (skewed or symmetric);

The IQR

Variance

Standard Deviation

Range

A box plot is a graphical representation of the five number summary;

The minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and the maximum value in that order.

The IQR is defined as;

third quartile - first quartile

With this definition, the Interquartile Range (IQR) for Florida is;

28 - 17 = 11

while the Interquartile Range (IQR) for Australia is;

14 - 10 = 4

Therefore, the Interquartile Range (IQR) for Florida, 11, is greater than the IQR for Australia, 4.

Find a compact form for generating functions of the sequence 1, 8,27,... , k^3

pantera1 [17]

This sequence has generating function

$F(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^k$

(if we include $k=0$ for a moment)

Recall that for $|x|$ , we have

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-x}=\sum_{k\ge0}x^k$

Take the derivative to get

$\displaystyle\frac1{(1-x)^2}=\sum_{k\ge0}kx^{k-1}=\frac1x\sum_{k\ge0}kx^k$

$\implies\dfrac x{(1-x)^2}=\displaystyle\sum_{k\ge0}kx^k$

Take the derivative again:

$\displaystyle\frac{(1-x)^2+2x(1-x)}{(1-x)^4}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^2x^{k-1}=\frac1x\sum_{k\ge0}k^2x^k$

$\implies\displaystyle\frac{x+x^2}{(1-x)^3}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^2x^k$

Take the derivative one more time:

$\displaystyle\frac{(1+2x)(1-x)^3+3(x+x^2)(1-x)^2}{(1-x)^6}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^{k-1}=\frac1x\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^k$

$\implies\displaystyle\frac{x+4x^3+x^3}{(1-x)^4}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^k$

so we have

$\boxed{F(x)=\dfrac{x+4x^3+x^3}{(1-x)^4}}$

The fuel consumption rate of 10 vehicles is sampled. The rates, measured in miles per gallon, are 32, 24, 14, 34, 26, 27, 31, 16

blondinia [14]

The best estimate of the population mean is the sample mean

first calculate the sum of all samples:
32+24+14+34+26+27+31+16+18+26=248
then divide by the amount of samples to get the samples mean: 248/10=24.8 miles per gallon

A white-tailed deer can sprint at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. American bison can run at speeds up to 3,520 feet per minute.

Sphinxa [80]

In 1 minute, bison runs 3520 feet
In 60 minutes, the bison would run
3520*60 feet
211200 feet per hour.
These are equivalent to;
40 miles per hour since 1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet.
The bison is faster by 10 miles per hour
