Answer: The answer is 449100 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the weight of an iceberg is 450,000 pounds. It looses 0.2% of weight everyday. We are to find the new weight of the iceberg at the end of the day.

Weight lost by the iceberg in one day will be

$w_l=0.2\%\times 450000=\dfrac{0.2}{100}\times 450000=900~\textup{pounds}.$

Therefore, the new weight of the iceberg at the end of the day will be

$W_n=450000-w_l=450000-900=449100~\textup{pounds}.$

Thus, the answer is 449100 pounds.

EASY QUICK POINTS!!!! Find the altitude of an equilateral triangle if each side of the triangle has the length of 6 meters!!!

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

5.20 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude line bisects the base of the triangle to form 2 right angled triangles with hypotenuse = 6 and the base = 3.

So, by the Pythagoras theorem the altitude is calculated as follows:

6^2 = 3^2 + x^2

x^2 = 36 - 9 = 27

x = √27

= 5.20 to the nearest hundredth.

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) Without doing an

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are 3 data sets with values as:

(i) 8 9 10 11 12 ... Mean =10

(ii) 7 9 10 11 13 ... Mean =10

(iii) 7 8 10 12 13 ... Mean =10

We see that data set shows mean deviations as

(i) -2 -1 0 1 2

(ii) -3 -1 0 1 3

(iii) -3 -2 0 2 3

Since variance is the square of std deviation, we find that std deviation is larger when variance is larger.

Variance is the sum of squares of (x-mean). Whenever x-mean increases variance increases and also std deviation.

Hence we find that without calculations also (i) has least std dev followed by (ii) and then (iii)

(i) (ii) (iii) is the order.

b) Between (i) and (ii) we find that 3 entries are the same and 2 entries differ thus increasing square by 9-4 twice. But between (ii) and (iii) we find that

increase in square value would be 4-1 twice. Obviously the latter is less.
