Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Range = 115$

Standard Deviation = 43.76$

Variance = 1915.142$

Option A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a room, low prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the data for prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region.

234, 160, 119, 131, 218, 207, 146, 141

Range:

Sorted data: 119, 131, 141, 146, 160, 207, 218, 234

$\text{Range} = 234-119 = 115\$$

Standard Deviation:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1356}{8} = 169.5$

Sum of squares of differences = 4160.25 + 90.25 + 2550.25 + 1482.25 + 2352.25 + 1406.25 + 552.25 + 812.25 = 13406

$\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{13406}{7}} = 43.76\$$

Variance =

$\sigma^2 = 1915.142\$$

Measure of variance for someone searching for room:

Option A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a room, low prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.

Tyler owned the librarian late fees he had to pay a 3% fee on the cost of the books, which was $35.62. What was he charged for a

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

$1.07 for the late fees.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the fee for this price by finding 3% of the $35.62 (total cost of the books). You can find this number by multiplying (35.62*.03).

35.62*.03

1.0686

Round up because you cannot have part of a cent.

$1.07 for the late fees.
