Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s set up a proportion.

6/20=x\100 (percent is always out of 100. set parts and wholes equal)

x=30

30 percent of the people are from out of state.

2n^2 - 7n - 3 = 0
a = 2
b = -7
c =-3

Sample annual salaries (in thousands of dollars) for employees at a company are listed. 42 36 48 51 39 39 42 36 48 33 39 42 45 (

Sonja [21]

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.

Solve for the roots in simplest form using the quadratic formula: 4x2 + 4x = -5

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Move all terms to one side

4x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0

Plug into quadratic formula

x = (-4 + $\sqrt{16 - 4(4)(5)}$ ) / 2(4)

= (-4 + $\sqrt{-64}$ )/8

At this point, there are no real answers. The roots to this equation are complex.

x = (-4 + 8i)/8

= (-1 + 2i)/2

The three sides of a triangle are n, 3n+3, and 2n+11. If the perimeter of the triangle is 50 inches, what is the length of each

mylen [45]

Answer:

6, 21, and 23 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of all side lengths in that triangle. We're given the perimeter as 50 inches, and the side lengths as n, 3n + 3, and 2n + 11.
