It is given that Sylvia sells x number of bottles and Sam sells three times as many bottles as Sylvia sold to his co-workers.

So, number of bottles Sam sold is 3x.

It is also given that, number of remaining bottle Sylvia and Sam have same.

So,

24 - x = 36 - 3x

3x - x = 36 - 24

2x = 12

x = 6

Therefore, Sylvia sells 6 bottles.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Find the mean of the data summarized in the given frequency distribution. Compare the computed mean to the actual mean of 47.3 m
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

47.4167

D. The computed mean is close to the actual mean because the difference between the means is less than 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distribution :

Speed(m/hr) ___ midpoint(x) ___ F ___fx

42 - 45 _______ 43.5 ________21 __ 913.5

46 - 49 _______47.5 _________15 __712.5

50 - 53 _______ 51.5 _________6 __ 309

54 - 57 _______ 55.5 ________ 4 ___ 222

58 - 61 ________59.5 ________ 2 ___ 119

The midpoint, x= sum of lower and upper boundary divided by 2

For instance, (42 + 45) / 2 = 43.5

The computed mean, Σfx / Σf = 2276 / 48 = 47.4167

Actual mean = 47.3 miles

(47.4167 - 47.3) / 47.3 * 100% = 0.24%

Describe a normal probability distribution. a. bell-shaped.b. mean, median, and mode all equivalent.c. bimodal.d. symmetric arou
garri49 [273]

Answer:

a) bell-shaped.              

b) mean, median, and mode all equivalent.      

d) symmetric around the mean.        

g) most of the data fall within 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to describe a normal distribution.

a. bell-shaped.

This is true a normal distribution is a bell shaped distribution.

b. mean, median, and mode all equivalent.

This is true for a normal distribution.

Mean = Mode = Median

c. Bimodal

The is not true about the normal distribution. A normal distribution is unimodal and the mode is equal to the mean of the distribution.

d. symmetric around the mean.

This is true. The normal distribution is centered around the mean

e. skewed to the right.

This is not a property of normal distribution.

f. models discrete random variables.

Normal distribution is a continuous distribution.

g. most of the data fall within 3 standard deviations from the mean.

This is true. According to Empirical rule, almost all the data lies within three standard deviation of mean.

h. uniform-shaped

This is not true. A normal distribution is bell shaped.
