Three painters can paint three walls in three minutes. how many painters are needed to paint 27 walls in nine minutes?

1 answer:

4 0

There is 3 variable, in this case, painters, walls and time(minutes). You need to find how many painters needed and provided information on the walls and time(minutes).

Increasing walls will cause more painter needed. It was reversed in time which was increased time will cause less painter needed.

In this case, you need to divide the variable walls with time since it reversed so: 27wall/9 minutes
It equal to : 3 walls/minute

Information provided is:
3 painters= 3 walls/3 minutes
Equal to : 3 paintes= 1 wall/minute

To make it 3 walls/minute, the painter needed will be:
(3 walls/minute) / (1 wall/minute) x 3 painters= 9 painters

Answer: 9 painters

Answer:

x<3 and x≥5

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the circles and what is shaded on the number line. The first circle is at x=3, and it's an open circle. An open circle means that the interval does not include that point. The arrow is going to the left, meaning x < 3.

The next circle is at x=5. It is a closed circle, so the interval does include that point (so draw a bar under the less than/greater than sign). Next, notice how the arrow is pointing to the right. That means that the blue area is at x=5 and greater than x=5, so x≥5.

Answer:

$\sigma = 11.28$ --- Standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Solving (a): Explain how the standard deviation is calculated.

<u>Start by calculating the mean</u>

To do this, we divide the sum of the products of grade and number of students by the total number of students;

i.e.

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

So, we have:

$\bar x = \frac{50 * 1 + 57 * 2 + 60 * 4 + 65 * 3 +72 *3 + 75 * 12 + 77 * 10 + 81 * 6 + 83 * 6 + 88 * 9 + 90 * 12 + 92 * 12 +95 * 2 + 99 * 4 + 100 * 5}{1 + 2 + 4 + 3 +3 + 12 + 10 + 6 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 12 +2 + 4 + 5}$

$\bar x = \frac{7531}{91}$

$\bar x = 82.76$

Next, calculate the variance using the following formula:

$\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum f(x - \bar x)^2}{\sum f}$

i.e subtract the mean from each dataset; take the squares; add up the squares; then divide the sum by the number of dataset

So, we have:

$\sigma^2 = \frac{1 * (50 - 82.76)^2 +...................+ 5 * (100 - 82.76)^2}{91}$

$\sigma^2 = \frac{11580.6816}{91}$

$\sigma^2 = 127.26$

Lastly, take the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation

$\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{127.26}$

$\sigma = 11.28$ --- approximated

<em>Hence, the standard deviation is approximately 11.28</em>

Considering the calculated mean (i.e. 82.76), the standard deviation (i.e. 11.28) is small and this means that the grade of the students are close to the average grade.
