In automobile mileage and gasoline-consumption testing, 13 automobiles were road tested for 300 miles in both city and highway d

riving conditions. The following data were recorded for miles-per-gallon performance.City: 16.2 16.7 15.9 14.4 13.2 15.3 16.8 16.0 16.1 15.3 15.2 15.3 16.2 Highway: 19.4 20.6 18.3 18.6 19.2 17.4 17.2 18.6 19.0 21.1 19.4 18.5 18.7 Use the mean, median, and mode to make a statement about the difference in performance for city and highway driving.

Answer:

Looking at the mean, the median and the mode, cars are more efficient on a highway than in a city

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the average (mean) performance by adding all values and dividing the sum by the number of values added.

Mean_{city} =\frac{(16.2+16.7+15.9+14.4+13.2+15.3+16.8+16.0+16.1+15.3+15.2+15.3+16.2)mpg }{13} =15.6 mpg

Mean_{highway} =\frac{(19.4+20.6+18.3+18.6+19.2+17.4+17.2+18.6+19.0+21.1+19.4+18.5+18.7 )mpg }{13} =18.9 mpg

Then, to know what the median is, we have to order from least to greatest and look the middle value, i.e. half of the values will be higher than the median and half will be lower.

For the mode, we have to look up what is the most repeated value in our list.

For city performances:

  1. 13.2
  2. 14.4
  3. 15.2
  4. 15.3
  5. 15.3
  6. 15.3
  7. 15.9
  8. 16
  9. 16.1
  10. 16.2
  11. 16.2
  12. 16.7
  13. 16.8  

The median value is 15.9 miles per gallon, and the mode is 15.3 miles per gallon.

For highway performances:

  1. 17.2
  2. 17.4
  3. 18.3
  4. 18.5
  5. 18.6
  6. 18.6
  7. 18.7
  8. 19
  9. 19.2
  10. 19.4
  11. 19.4
  12. 20.6
  13. 21.1

The median value is 18.7 miles per gallon, and the mode is 18.6 and 19.4 miles per gallon.

We can say then, that looking at the mean, the median and the mode, cars are more efficient on a highway than in a city and that the least-consuming car in a city still is worst  in terms of efficiency than the worst-performing in a highway.

Given the lines AB and CD, what conclusion can be made about the relationship of the lines? Be sure to include, in
Ahat [919]

Answer: They are perpendicular lines, because their slopes are negative reciprocals (AB\perp CD)

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing graph is attached.

You need to remember that the slope of a line can be found with the following formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

First, find the slope of the line AB. The steps are:

- Choose two points on the line. These can be:

(0,-1)\\(5,3)

You can say that:

y_2=-1\\y_1=3\\\\x_2=0\\x_1=5

Substituting values into the formula and evaluating, you get that the slope of this line is:

m_{AB}=\frac{-1-3}{0-5}=\frac{4}{5}

Now you must find the slope of the line CD. The steps are shown below:

- Choose two points on the line. These can be:

(2,3)\\(6,-2)

- You can say that:

y_2=-2\\y_1=3\\\\x_2=6\\x_1=2

- Now you must substitute values into the formula and evaluate, in order to find the slope. This is:

m_{CD}=\frac{-2-3}{6-2}=-\frac{5}{4}

By definition, the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

Therefore, since the slopes of the lines AB and CD are negative reciprocals, you can conclude that they are perpendicular.

myrzilka [38]

She must mix 1.5 cups of pineapple juice into the pitcher.

Since Cindy is making a fruit juice drink, and the recipe calls for 5 parts apple juice and 3 parts pineapple juice, and Cindy puts 2 1/2 cups of apple juice into a pitcher, and Cindy wants the juice drink in her pitcher to taste the same as the drink in the recipe, to determine how much pineapple juice does she need to mix into the pitcher, the following calculation must be performed, proposing a cross multiplication:

  • 5 = 2 1/2
  • 3 = X
  • 5 = 2.5
  • 3 = X
  • 3 x 2.5 / 5 = X
  • 7.5 / 5 = X
  • 1.5 = X

Therefore, she must mix 1.5 cups of pineapple juice into the pitcher.

Exponential function
laiz [17]
A typical exponential function is y=ab^{x}
when x=3.5, y=16.2
when x=6, y=3936.6
plug these values into the exponential function:
16.2=ab^{3.5}
3936.6=ab^{6}
divide the second equation by the first to eliminate a:
243=b^{(6-3.5)}
log both sides: log243=2.5logb
logb=log243/2.5
use your calculator to find b: b=3.6
plug b=3.6 in the first equation to find a:
16.2=a* (3.6)^{3.5}
a=0.183

please double check my calculation
