Answer:

a) Range = 25.6

b) Variance = 48.1446

c) s = 6.9386

d) See below

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)  the sample range

To obtain the sample range, we must <em>sort the data increasingly</em> :

23.7, 26.3, 28.3, 28.7, 29.6, 29.8, 30.1, 31, 33.5, 49.3

Then, find the <em>distance between the largest and the lowest </em>

Range = 49.3 - 23.7 = 25.6

(b) the sample variance s^2 from the definition

In order to find the variance from the definition, we need first the mean. The mean is defined as the average

\bar x=\displaystyle\frac{\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_i}{n}

where the x_i are the values of the data collected and <em>n=10</em> the size of the sample.

So, <em>the mean</em> is

\bar x=31.03

Now, t<em>he variance of the sample </em>is defined as  

s^2=\displaystyle\frac{\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar x)^2}{n-1}

and we have that <em>the variance</em> is

s^2=48.1446

(c) the sample standard deviation

The sample standard deviation is nothing but the <em>square root of the variance </em>

s=\sqrt{48.1446}=6.9386

d) s^2  using the shortcut method

The <em>shortcut method</em> figures out the variance without having to compute the mean. The formula is

s^2=\frac{n\sum x_i^2-(\sum x_i)^2}{n(n-1)}

where n=10 is the sample size .

So, using the shortcut method,

s^2=\frac{10*10,061.91-96,286.09}{10*9}=48.1446

The ratio of children to adults at a play is 2:3. The ratio of children under 10 to those over 10 is 7: 3. What % are younger ch
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of children be 2x, then number of adults be 3x

Total number is 5x

Let number of children under 10 be 7y, number of children be 3y,

then total number of children is 10y

so 2x = 10y, x = 5y, y/x = 1/5

younger children = children under 10, number is 7y

so the % is 7y/5x = 7/5 * y/x = 7/5 * 1/5 = 7/25 = 28/100 = 28%
