A sample of blood pressure measurements is taken from a data set and those values (mm Hg) are listed below. The values are matc

hed so that subjects each have systolic and diastolic measurements. Find the mean and median for each of the two samples and then compare the two sets of results. Are the measures of center the best statistics to use with these data? What else might be better?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Systolic. Calculate the mean

118+128+158+96+156+122+116+136+126+120+

=1276÷10 = 127.6.

To calculate the median arrange the values from the lowest to the highest.

96,116,118,120,122,126,128,136,156,158.

122+126+2=124.

Disastolic

80+76+74+52+90+88+58+64+72+82= 736÷10=73.6

To calculate the median arrange the values from the lowest to the highest.

52,58,64,72,74,76,80,82,88,90

Median= 74+76=150÷2=75.

Comparison

The Systolic and diastolic blood pressure measures different things, so comparing them is of no use.

It will be good if the relationship between the blood pressure can be investigated because the data are in pairs.

If a=i+7j+k and b=i+11j+k, find a unit vector with positive first coordinate orthogonal to both a and

Scilla [17]

Take the cross product, then normalize the result.

$\mathbf a\times\mathbf b=\begin{vmatrix}\mathbf i&\mathbf j&\mathbf k\\1&7&1\\1&11&1\end{vmatrix}=-4\,\mathbf i+4\,\mathbf k$

This has norm

$\|\mathbf a\times\mathbf b\|=\sqrt{(-4)^2+4^2}=4\sqrt2$

and so a unit vector orthogonal to both given vectors is

$\dfrac{\mathbf a\times\mathbf b}{\|\mathbf a\times\mathbf b\|}=-\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\,\mathbf i+\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\,\mathbf k$

An equally correct answer would be the negative of this vector, since $\mathbf b\times\mathbf a=-\mathbf a\times\mathbf b$ .

Two rubix cubes are shown in the image. The edge length of these cubes is 5.7 centimeters. What is the combined volume of the tw

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The answer is No.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Giventhat the formula of a cube is, V = x³ where x determine the length of the edge of the cube. By using this formula, you may find out the volume of a rubix cube :

x = 5.7cm

V = 5.7³

= 185.193cm³

The question ask us to find the volume of 2 combined cubes so, we can just multiply it by 2 :

V = 185.193 × 2

= 370.386cm³

Which equation represents the graph of the linear function?

marusya05 [52]

By looking at the graph you can rule out choices C and D because the graph given to you is an increasing linear function and C and D represent functions with a decreasing or negative slope.

By looking at the picture the slop of the graph seems to be 4/1 (rise/run) so your slope is 4. And your y-intercept looks like its -4 so your answer is B<span />
