Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development​ (HUD) uses the median to report the average price of a home in the United States.

We know that mean, median and mode are measures of central tendency.

Mean is the average of all the prices while median is the middle entry when arranged in ascending order.

Mean has the disadvantage of showing undue figure if extreme entries are there. i.e. outlier affect mean.

Suppose a price goes extremely high, then mean will fluctuate more than median.

So median using gives a reliable estimate since median gives the middle price and equally spread to other sides.

Which expression is equivalent to n2 + 26n + 88 for all values of n?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

The expression which is equivalent to  n^2+26n+88  is; (n+22)(n+4)

Explanation:

Given the equation: n^2+26n+88 for all values of n.

The quadratic equation in this form; ax^2+bx+c =0

First find two numbers that multiply to give ac and add to give b.

From the given equation;

a =1 , b = 26 and c =88

then,

the two number that multiply to give ac =88 is, 22 or 4

and they add up to give b=26 (i.e 22+4)

Now, rewrite the middle term i.e 26n with 22n and 4n , we have

n^2+22n+4n+88=0

Now, factor the first two terms and last two terms,

n(n+22)+4(n+22)

we see that (n+22) is common to both terms so, we have;

(n+22)(n+4)

Therefore, the expression (n+22)(n+4) is equivalent to  n^2+26n+88

Check:

(n+4)(n+22) = n\cdot n+ 22n+4n+88=n^2+26n+88   [ True]

Suppose that the useful life of a car battery, measured in months, decays with parameter 0.03 . We are interested in the life of
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

a) X ~ e(0.03)

b) μ = 100/3

c) \sigma = 100/3

d) A battery is expected to last 100/3 months (33 months and 10 days approximately).

e) For seven batteries, i would expect them to last 700/3 months (approximately 19 years, 5 months and 10 days).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The life of a battery is usually modeled with an exponential distribution X ~ e(0.03)

b) The mean of X is μ = 1/0.03 = 100/3

c) The standard deviation is \sigma = 1/0.03 = 100/3

d) The expected value of the bateery life is equal to its mean, hence it is 100/3 months.

e) The expected value of 7 (independent) batteries is the sum of the expected values of each one, hence it is 7*100/3 = 700/3 months.

marshall27 [118]
Your ratio is 6:5

This means that it is 6/5.

You have to find a common number to either divide or multiply that can work for both the numerator and denominator.

6/5 doesn't have any common number to divide without getting a remainder

But we can multiply by a common number such as 2

6×2 = 12
5×2 = 10

= 12/10. ☆= the ratio is 12 : 10

or even by 3, =the ratio 18:15
