What figure has one endpoint and continues forever in one direction?

Bones Brothers & Associates prepare individual tax returns. Over prior years, Bones Brothers have maintained careful records

madreJ [45]

Answer:

For this case we have the following info related to the time to prepare a return

$\mu =90 , \sigma =14$

And we select a sample size =49>30 and we are interested in determine the standard deviation for the sample mean. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And the standard deviation would be:

$\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{14}{\sqrt{49}}= 2$

And the best answer would be

b. 2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Solution to the problem

For this case we have the following info related to the time to prepare a return

$\mu =90 , \sigma =14$

And we select a sample size =49>30 and we are interested in determine the standard deviation for the sample mean. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

And the standard deviation would be:

$\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{14}{\sqrt{49}}= 2$

And the best answer would be

What is the sum of 90 minutes and 50 minutes? 130 minutes 1 hour, 40 minutes 2 hours 2 hours, 20 minutes

LiRa [457]

90 mins + 50 mins = 140 mins
60 mins ==1 hr 2*60 = 120 mins
140 mins -120 mins= 20 mins
2 hrs ans 20 mins is the answer

HELP HELP HELPH EPLHEPLHEPLHEPLHEPLEP

Answers:

1a) y=-10/3x+90

1b) 20

1c) -18

2a) 2.8

2b) How much the heights of five basketball players vary from the average height.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanations:

1a) The trend line is linear, so we just need to find the slope and y-intercept to find an equation for it. Our y-intercept is (0,90), or 90, and our slope is -10/3. Our equation is now y=-10/3x+90.

1b) To find when x=21, we plug 21 into our equation where the x is. Now we do the math.

y=-10/3(21)+90 (plug in)

y=-70+90 (simplify by multiplying -10/3 by 21)

y=20 (simplify by adding -70 to 90)

Therefore, we can predict that when x is 21, y is 20.

1c) To find when y=150, we plug 150 into our equation where the y is. Now we do some more math.

150=-10/3x+90 (plug in)

60=-10/3x (subtract 90 from both sides

-18=x (divide both sides by -10/3)

Therefore, we can predict that when y is 150, x is -18.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2a) The mean absolute deviation (or MAD for short) of a data set is calculated as such:

Step 1) Find the mean (average) by finding the sum of the data values, then dividing the sum of the data values by the number of data values. In this case, we have the numbers 65, 58, 64, 61, and 67, which add up to 315. The data set has 5 numbers, so we divide our sum of 315 by 5 to get 63. Therefore, our mean is 63.

Step 2) Find the absolute value of the distance between each data value and the mean. In this case, we find out how far away each data value is from 63, our mean. To do this, we subtract 63 from each number.

65-63=2

58-63=-5

64-63=1

61-63=-2

67-63=4

Some of these values are negative, but we're using absolute value so they all become positive. We now have a new set of values: 2, 5, 1, 2, and 4.

Step 3) Finally, we calculate the mean of our new set of values. In this case, we will add up 2, 5, 1, 2, and 4 to get 14 and divide by 5 to get our MAD of 2.8. Therefore, the MAD (and the answer to problem 2a) is 2.8.

2b) Now we just find out what the MAD means in this context. The MAD always is a measure of variance in a data set. In this context, it's describing how much the heights (in inches) of five people on a basketball team vary from the average height.

Hope this helps!
