Answer:

a) Data given: 42 36 48 51 39 39 42 36 48 33 39 42 45

\bar X = 41.538

s = 5.317

b) 44.1, 37.8, 50.4, 53.55, 40.95, 44.1, 37.8, 50.4 ,34.65, 40.95, 44.1, 47.25

\bar X = 43.615

s= 5.583

c) 3.5, 3, 4, 4.25, 3.25, 3.25, 3.5, 3, 4, 2.75, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75

\bar X= 3.462

s = 0.443

d) As we can see, the average of part b is 1.05 times the average of part a (1.05 * 41.538 = 43.615) and the average of part c is equal to the average obtained in part a divided by 12 (41.538 / 12 = 3.462).

And that happens because we create linear transformations for the parts b and c and the linear transformation affects the mean.

And you have the same interpretation for the deviation, it is affected by the linear transformation as the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the following formulas for the mean and standard deviation:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

Part a

Data given: 42 36 48 51 39 39 42 36 48 33 39 42 45

And if we calculate the mean we got:

\bar X = 41.538

s = 5.317

Part b

For this case we know that each value present a 5% of rise so we just need to multiply each value bu 1.05 and we have this new dataset:

44.1, 37.8, 50.4, 53.55, 40.95, 44.1, 37.8, 50.4 ,34.65, 40.95, 44.1, 47.25

And if we calculate the new mean and deviation we got:

\bar X = 43.615

s= 5.583

Part c

The new dataset would be each value divided by 12 so we have:

3.5, 3, 4, 4.25, 3.25, 3.25, 3.5, 3, 4, 2.75, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75

And the new mean and deviation would be:

\bar X= 3.462

s = 0.443

Part d

As we can see, the average of part b is 1.05 times the average of part a (1.05 * 41.538 = 43.615) and the average of part c is equal to the average obtained in part a divided by 12 (41.538 / 12 = 3,462).

And that happens because we create linear transformations for the parts b and c and the linear transformation affects the mean.

And you have the same interpretation for the deviation, it is affected by the linear transformation as the mean.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we can see that-

when, x=-3 ,  y=4

That is , the graph passes through   (-3 , 4)

So,

for  x=-3 ,

we get    y=4

So, the answer is    y=4

In a right angled triangle, the two sides forming a right angle measure 8cm and 6cm. Area of this triangle is
Solnce55 [7]
<h3>Answer:  24 square cm</h3>

Work Shown:

base = 8, height = 6

area = (1/2)*base*height

area = (1/2)*8*6

area = 0.5*8*6

area = 4*6

area = 24

To compare the production techniques used by foreign and local firms in Brazil, a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

An independent sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, to compare the production techniques used by foreign and local firms in Brazil, a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected. We can safely conclude that this study uses an independent sample design.

An independent sample design can be defined as a research method that usually involves the use of multiple experimental groups (two or more). The samples or participants are only in one group and as such each group has no relationship with the other. This simply means that, the samples in a particular group is having no relationship with the other samples in another group.

Ultimately this implies, each samples are independent and satisfies only one condition of the independent sample design during the experiment to compare the production technique used by foreign and local firms in Brazil.

<em>Hence, the researcher would use only two variables or conditions: a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected.</em>

There are 650 sixth graders in the school and 338 of them are girls. What percent of the 6th grade students are girls?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

52% are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 650 sixth-graders and 338 of them are girls, we are then asked to find the percentage of how many are girls.

We have the fraction 338 over 650 but need to reduce it.

To solve this, we need to find the GCF of 650 and 338, which is 26, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 26.

\frac{338/26}{650/26}

\frac{13}{25}

Now divide the 13 and 25 :

13 / 25 = 0.52

0.52 * 100 = 52%

Therefore, 52% of the sixth-graders in the school are girls
