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.

Answer:

C\approx 5.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is the distance around a complete circle: in essence, the perimeter of a circle. The formula to find the circumference of a circle is the following:

C=(d)(\pi)

Where (d) represents the diameter, the largest cord that can be drawn in a circle, it goes from one end to another, passing through the center of the circle. The parameter (\pi) represents the number (3.1415...). However, one is given a semicircle, thus one must divide the result in two, and then add the value of the diameter to find the perimeter of the given object. Therefore the equation for the circumference of this circle is as follows:

C=\frac{(d)(\pi)}{2}+(d)

Substitute in the given value,

C=\frac{(2)(3.1415)}{2}+(2)

Simplify,

C=3.1415...+2

C=5.1415

C\approx 5.14

pickupchik [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J represent Jiri's age. Then Pamela's age is 2J and the sum of their ages is ...

  J + 2J = 69

  3J = 69 . . . . .collect terms

  J = 23 . . . . . . divide by 3

Jiri's age is 23.
