Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Set A :        x = 23,       Med = 22,             S = 1.2

Set B :        x = 24,       Med = 29,             S = 3.1

The Formula for Pearson's Index of Skewness (for Median in given data) is:

Sk_{2} = 3(\frac{x - Med}{S} )

where,

Sk_{2} = <em>Pearson's Coefficient of Skewness</em>

<em />Med =<em> Median of Distribution</em>

<em />x=<em> Mean of Distribution</em>

<em />S=<em> Standard Deviation of Distribution</em>

<em />

a) Finding Skewness:

For Set A:

Sk_{2_{A}} = 3(\frac{23 - 22}{1.2} )\\\\Sk_{2_{A}} = (\frac{3}{1.2} )\\\\Sk_{2_{A}} = 2.5

For Set B:

Sk_{2_{B}} = 3(\frac{24 - 29}{3.1} )\\\\Sk_{2_{B}} = 3(\frac{-5}{3.1} )\\\\Sk_{2_{B}} = -4.84

b) Type of Distribution:

For Set A:

As the value of skewness is a positive value (i.e. 2.5). Hence, Set A is right (positively) skewed.

For Set B:

As the value of skewness is a negative value (i.e. -4.84). Hence, Set B is skewed left (or negatively skewed).

c) Which Set can be considered as symmetric?

As the Pearson's Coefficient of skewness for Set A (2.5) is closer to 0 as compared to that of Set B (-4.84). Set A is more closer to that of a symmetric distribution and therefore can be considered as one.

Black bird starts his flight path from (2, 0). his flight path reaches a maximum height of 20 yards and lands at point (38, 0).
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The maximum height is 20 yards and the total horizontal distance is 36 yards, which is the distance between the point (2, 0) and (38, 0).

<h3>What is a parabola?</h3>

It is defined as the graph of a quadratic function that has something bowl-shaped.

We have:

The blackbird starts his flight path from (2, 0). His flight path reaches a maximum height of 20 yards and lands at point (38, 0).

Here the bird path will be a parabola with a maximum height of 20 yards.

The total horizontal distance traveled by the bird = The distance between the points (2, 0) and (38, 0)

= √(38-2)²

= 36 yards

Thus, the maximum height is 20 yards and the total horizontal distance is 36 yards, which is the distance between the point (2, 0) and (38, 0).

if you multply two decimals that are less than 1 , can you predict whether the product will be less than or greater than either
nekit [7.7K]
Yes.  Multiplying anything by a number less than one will decrease the original number.  So multiplying two decimals will result in a number less than either one.

What is the answer to 8x^3+125 by factoring the perfect cube?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

\large\boxed{8x^3+125=(2x+5)(4x^2-10x+25)}

Step-by-step explanation:

8x^3+125=2^3x^3+5^3=(2x)^3+5^3\\\\\text{use}\ a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)\\\\=(2x+5)((2x)^2-(2x)(5)+5^2)\\\\=(2x+5)(4x^2-10x+25)
