List S and list T each contain 5 positive integers, and for each list the average (arithmetic mean) of the integers in the list

is 40. If the integers 30, 40, and 50 are in both lists, is the standard deviation of the integers in list S greater than the standard deviation of the integers in list T? (1) The integer 25 is in list S. (2) The integer 45 is in list T.

Answer:

Yes, SDS > SDT

Step-by-step explanation:

List S

25, 30, 40, 50, XS

Average list S = 40

So, we could write,

Average list S = 40 = (25 + 30 + 40 + 50 + XS) / 5

Solving for XS

XS = 40 x 5 – 25 – 30 – 40 – 50 = 200 – 145 = 55  

SDs = SD (25, 30, 40, 50, 55) = 12.74

List T

30, 40, 45, 50, XT

Average list T = 40

So, we could write,

Average list T = 40 = (30 + 40 + 45 + 50 + XT) / 5

Solving for XT

XT = 40 x 5 – 30 – 40 – 45 – 50 = 200 – 165 = 35  

SDT = SD (30, 35, 40, 45, 50) = 7.1

Even at first sight SDS > SDT  because 25 is out of the range 30-50, while 45 is within that range.

List S is more spread than list T.

Write a quadratic function, in standard form, that fits the set of points. Solve it as a system of three equations. (-4, 9), (0,
Tresset [83]

Answer:

\boxed{y=2x^2+4x-7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be

y=ax^2+bx+c


We substitute (-4,9) into the equation to obtain;


9=a(-4)^2+b(-4)+c


\Rightarrow 9=16a-4b+c---(1)


We substitute (0,-7) to obtain;


-7=a(0)^2+b(0)^2+c


\Rightarrow c=-7---(2)


We finally substitute (1,-1) to obtain;


-1=a(1)^2+b(1)^2+c


\Rightarrow -1=a+b+c---(3)


We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;


9=16a-4b-7


16a-4b=16


\Rightarrow 4a-b=4---(4)


\Rightarrow -1=a+b-7


\Rightarrow a+b=6---(5)


We add equation (4) and (5) to get;

4a+a=6+4



\Rightarrow 5a=10



\Rightarrow a=2


We put a=2 into equation (5) to get;


2+b=6


\Rightarrow b=6-2


\Rightarrow b=4


The reqiured quadratic function is

y=2x^2+4x-7

In the trapezoid below, x = [? ]
pantera1 [17]

if this trapezoid is to scale, then the scale factor between the shortest and longest side is 1.5

so, that means that 1.5(2x+6) = 4x+2

so, your equation becomes 3x+9 = 4x+2

if you subtract 2 from each side, you get 3x+7 = 4x

meaning that x = 7

i hope this helps, and i'm sorry if it's wrong!! :)
