The two dot plots below show the heights of some sixth graders and some seventh graders: Two dot plots are shown one below the o

ther. The title for the top dot plot is Sixth Graders and the title for the bottom plot is Seventh Graders. Below the line for each dot plot is written Height followed by inches in parentheses. There are markings from 52 to 57 on the top line and the bottom line at intervals of one. For the top line there are 2 dots above the first mark, 1 dot above the second mark, 1 dot above the third mark and 2 dots above the fourth mark. For the bottom line, there is 1 dot for the first mark, there are 3 dots above the second mark, 2 dots above the third mark. The mean absolute deviation (MAD) for the first set of data is 1.2 and the MAD for the second set of data is 0.6. Approximately how many times the variability in the heights of the seventh graders is the variability in the heights of the sixth graders? (Round all values to the tenths place.) 0.3 1.2 1.7 2.0

As measured by the MAD, the variability ratio is
  (MAD of 6th grade heights)/(MAD of 7th grade heights) = 1.2/0.6 = 2.0

The 4th selection is appropriate:

Q1  Solution:

x = 3 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-2x-3 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -2 and their product -3. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -3 and 1. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

x²+x-3x-3  =  0

x(x+1)-3(x+1)  = 0

(x-3)(x+1) = 0

Finally we apply the zero Product Property :

If ab = 0 then a  = 0 or b  = 0

This implies;

x-3= 0 or x+1 = 0

x = 3 or x = -1 are the solutions to x²-2x-3 = 0

Q2  Solution:

x  = -1/2 or x  =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²-5x-3  =0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -5 and their product 2(-3)=-6. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -6 and 1. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

2x²-6x+x-3  = 0

2x(x-3)+1(x-3) = 0

(2x+1)(x-3) = 0

2x+1 = 0 or x-3 =  0

2x = -1 or x =  3

x  = -1/2 or x  =  3 are the solutions of the given quadratic equation.

Q3 Soution:

x = 4 or x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-7x = -12

x²-7x+12 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -7 and their product 12. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -4 and -3. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

x²-4x-3x+12 = 0

x(x-4)-3(x-4)  = 0

(x-4)(x-3) = 0

x-4 = 0 or x-3 = 0

x = 4 or x = 3 are the solutions of the given quadratic equation.

Q4:

x = -2/3 or x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² = 16x+12

3x²-16x-12 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -16 and their product 3(-12)= -36. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -18 and 2. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

3x²-18x+2x-12 = 0

3x(x-6)+2(x-6) = 0

(3x+2)(x-6) = 0

3x+2 = 0 or x-6 =0

3x = -2 or x = 6

x = -2/3 or x = 6 are the solutions of the given quadratic equation.

Q5:

x = 6 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-2x-24 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -2 and their product -24. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -6 and 4. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

x²-6x+4x-24 = 0

x(x-6)+4(x-6) = 0

(x-6)(x+4) = 0

x-6 = 0 or x+4 = 0

x = 6 or x = -4 are the solutions to the given quadratic equation.

Q6:

x  = 4/3 or x  = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² = x+4

3x²-x-4 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -1 and their product -12. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -4 and 3. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

3x²-4x+3x-4 = 0

x(3x-4)+1(3x-4)  =0

(3x-4)(x+1) = 0

3x-4 =0 or x+1 =0

3x  = 4 or x = -1

x  = 4/3 or x  = -1 are the solutions to the given quadratic equation.

Big chickens: The weights of broilers (commercially raised chickens) are approximately normally distributed with mean 1387 grams
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

a) 0.2318

b) 0.2609

c) No it is not unusual for a broiler to weigh more than 1610 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

Mean 1387 grams and standard deviation 192 grams. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator to answer the following.

(a) What proportion of broilers weigh between 1150 and 1308 grams?

For 1150 grams

z = 1150 - 1387/192

= -1.23438

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 1150) = 0.10853

For 1308 grams

z = 1308 - 1387/192

= -0.41146

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 1308) = 0.34037

Proportion of broilers weigh between 1150 and 1308 grams is:

P(x = 1308) - P(x = 1150)

0.34037 - 0.10853

= 0.23184

≈ 0.2318

(b) What is the probability that a randomly selected broiler weighs more than 1510 grams?

1510 - 1387/192

= 0.64063

Probabilty value from Z-Table:

P(x<1510) = 0.73912

P(x>1510) = 1 - P(x<1510) = 0.26088

≈ 0.2609

(c) Is it unusual for a broiler to weigh more than 1610 grams?

1610- 1387/192

= 1.16146

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<1610) = 0.87727

P(x>1610) = 1 - P(x<1610) = 0.12273

≈ 0.1227

No it is not unusual for a broiler to weigh more than 1610 grams

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Triangles A & C are right triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles A & C are right triangles because they make a 90 degree angle were a pair of legs intersect. That box in the corner of each triangle indicates that the triangle is 90 degrees, therefore a right triangle.
