Hello! So to solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. We write the proportion as change/original = x/100, where change is the distance between two number and the original is the previous number. Percents are parts of 100, so x is a percentage out of 100%. 1,435 - 1,220 is 215. Now, set it up like this.

215/1,435 = x/100

Cross multiply the values to get 21,500 = 1,435x. Divide each side by 1,435 to isolate the "x". 21,500/1,435 is 14.9825783972 or 15 when rounded to the nearest whole number. The percent change in the number of 8th graders is about 15%.

According to a Los Angeles Times study of more than 1 million medical dispatches from to , the response time for medical aid var
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

A)Mean :10.65

Median =10.7

Mode : 10.7

B)Range = 3.5

Standard deviation :0.89916

C)The response time of 8.3 minutes should be considered an outlier in comparison to the other response times

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Data : 11.8 ,10.3, 10.7, 10.6, 11.5, 8.3, 10.5, 10.9, 10.7, 11.2

Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}\\Mean = \frac{11.8 +10.3+ 10.7+ 10.6+ 11.5+ 8.3+ 10.5+ 10.9+ 10.7+ 11.2}{10}

Mean = 10.65

Median: The mid value of the data

Data in ascending order

8.3

10.3

10.5

10.6

10.7

10.7

10.9

11.2

11.5

11.8

n=10(even)

Median = \frac{(\frac{n}{2})\text{th term}+(\frac{n}{2}+1)\text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{(\frac{10}{2})\text{th term}+(\frac{10}{2}+1)\text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{10.7+10.7}{2}\\Median = 10.7

Mode : the most occurring frequency

10.7 is occurring twice while others are occurring once

So, Mode is 10.7

B) Range = Maximum - Minimum=11.8-8.3=3.5

Standard deviation : \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}

Standard deviation :\sqrt{\frac{(11.8-10.65)^2+(10.3-10.65)^2+......+(10.9-10.65)^2+(10.7-10.65)^2+(11.2-10.65)^2}{10}}

Standard deviation :0.89916

C)

8.3

,10.3

,10.5

,10.6

,10.7

,10.7

,10.9

,11.2

,11.5

,11.8

For Q1 ( Median of lower quartile )

8.3

,10.3

,10.5

,10.6

,10.7

Median = \frac{n+1}{2}\text{th term} =\frac{5+1}{2}=3 \text{rd term}=10.5

For Q3( Median of Upper quartile )

10.7

,10.9

,11.2

,11.5

,11.8

Median = \frac{n+1}{2}\text{th term} =\frac{5+1}{2}=3 \text{rd term}=11.2

IQR = Q3-Q1=11.2-10.5=0.7

Range :(Q1-1.5IQR, Q3-1.5IQR)

Range :(10.5-1.5 \times 0.7, 11.2-1.5 \times 0.7)

Range :(9.45, 10.15)

8.3 does not lie in this interval

So, the response time of 8.3 minutes should be considered an outlier in comparison to the other response times

Rewrite the set T = { 5a + 2b; a,b belong Z} as a list of its elements
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

T={...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,....}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that T={5a+2b; a,b belongs Z}

We have to rewrite the given set T as  a list of its elements

Substitute a=0 and b=0

Then we get 5(0)+2(0)=0

Substitute a=-1 and b=2 then we get

5(-1)+2(2)=-1

Substitute a=2 and b=0

Then , 5(2)+2(0)=10

If a=0 and b=1

Then, 5(0)+2(1)=2

Substitute a=0 and b=2

Then, 5(0)+2(2)=4

If substitute a=1 and b=1

5(1)+2(1)=7

If substitute a=-1 and b=3

Then, we get 5(-1)+2(3)=1

Then, T={...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,....}
