The Los Angeles Times regularly reports the air quality index for various areas of Southern California. A sample of air quality

index values for Pomona provided the following data: 28, 42, 58, 48, 45, 55, 60, 49, and 50.
1. Compute the range and interquartile range.

a. Range
b. Interquartile range

2. Compute the sample mean, sample variance, and sample standard deviation (to 2 decimals).

a. Sample mean
b. Sample variance
c. Sample standard deviation

3. A sample of air quality index readings for Anaheim provided a sample mean of 48.3, a sample variance of 136, and a sample standard deviation of 11.66. What comparisons can you make between the air quality in Pomona and that in Anaheim on the basis of these descriptive statistics??

Answer:

1. (a) 32     (b) 8

2. (a) 48.33    (b) 92.75    (c) 9.63

3.  We observe that sample mean of air quality index in Pomona is higher that that of Anaheim which indicates that the level of air pollution is higher in Pomona and there is more health concern here.

On the other hand, the variation in air quality index is higher in Anaheim than in Pomona as Anaheim has higher variance and standard deviation for air quality index which means that there are not much fluctuations in air quality index in Pomona.  

Step-by-step explanation:

First arranging our data of air quality index values for Pomona in ascending order, we get : 28, 42, 45, 48, 49, 50, 55, 58, 60.

  1. (a) Range is given by the formula :

                      Highest value in data - Lowest value in data = 60 - 28 = 32

        (b) Interquartile rage = Third quartile - First quartile

                                           = Q_3 - Q_1

             Q_1 =  (\frac{n-1}{4} )^{th} observation in the data = 2^{nd} obs. { Because n = 9}

                 Therefore, Q_1 = 42.

             Q_3 = (3Q_1)^{th} obs. = (3 x 2 ) = 6^{th} obs = 50

             So, Interquartile rage = 50 - 42 = 8.

     2. (a) Sample mean formula =  \frac{\sum X_i}{n} = \frac{28+ 42+ 45+ 48+ 49+ 50+ 55+ 58+ 60}{9} = 48.33

         (b) Sample variance formula = \frac{\sum (X_i - Xbar)^{2}}{n-1} where Xbar = Sample mean

                                                         = 92.75

          (c) Sample standard deviation  formula = \sqrt{variance} = \sqrt{92.75} = 9.63.

     3. Given that a sample of air quality index readings for Anaheim has   sample mean of 48.3, a sample variance of 136, and a sample standard deviation of 11.66.

We observe that sample mean of air quality index in Pomona is higher that that of Anaheim which indicates that the level of air pollution is higher in Pomona and there is more health concern here.

On the other hand, the variation in air quality index is higher in Anaheim than in Pomona as Anaheim has higher variance and standard deviation for air quality index which means that there are not much fluctuations in air quality index in Pomona.

I need help asap!!!
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(1 + 1x) = -50

-5 + -5x = -50

-5 + -5x + 5 = -5x

-50 + 5 = -45

-5x = -45

-5x / -5 = x

-45 / -5 = 9

x = 9

What does the Principle of Superposition tell us about relative ages of the strata in the cross-sections you were looking at? Ol
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

1. The Principle of superposition states that a strata of rock is younger than the one over which it is laid.

2. The intrusion of the younger rock by the principle of cross-cutting relationship

3. The intrusion igneous rock arrived after the rock it is found in had already been in place and is stable.

Step-by-step explanation:

In geology, the Principle of superposition states that, in its originally laid down state, a strata sequence consists of older rocks over which younger rocks are laid. That is, a stratum of rock is younger than the stratum upon which it rests.

The principle of cross cutting relationships in a geologic intrusion occurrence, the feature which intrudes or cut across another feature is always than the feature it cuts across.

The reason is that based on the geologic time frame, the rock 1 which ws cut across by rock 2 was already in the geologic zone in a more steady state than rock , therefore it is older than the cutting rock 2.
