Answer:

the mean of the age distribution is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Question is

A local utility company wanted to gather data on the age of air conditioners that people have in their homes.  The company took a random sample of 200 residents of a large city and asked if the residents had an air conditioner, and if they did, how old it was.  Below is the distribution in the reported ages of the air conditioners.  

the graph is attached below

find the mean of the age distribution closer to 15, 20, or 25 years

In the given graph the distribution is centered at 20

So the mean of the age distribution is 20

a teacher plans a simulation to estimate the probability that a student will pick a vowel out of a bag of 26 tiles, each with a
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a teacher prepares 26 tiles with 5 vowels numbered 1 and 21 consonants numbered 2.

The probability for drawing vowel =\frac{5}{26}

Prob for consonant =\frac{21}{26}

If number of trials is atleast 30 we can expect reliable results.

Here the results are recorded for 120 times at random.

Since number of trials is large, we can expect a reliable and accurate results representing the actual probability.

This is because more the number of trials, the less would be the margin of error i.edeviationfrom the expected probability would be minimum

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (3, 1) and a directrix of y = 5?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The equation of the quadratic graph is f(x)= - (1/8) (x-3)^2 + 3 (second option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus: F=(3,1)=(xf, yf)→xf=3, yf=1

Directrix: y=5 (horizontal line), then the axis of the parabola is vertical, and the equation has the form:

f(x)=[1 / (4p)] (x-h)^2+k

where Vertex: V=(h,k)

The directix y=5 must intercept the axis of the parabola at the point (3,5), and the vertex is the midpoint between this point and the focus:

Vertex is the midpoint between (3,5) and (3,1):

h=(3+3)/2→h=6/2→h=3

k=(5+1)/2→k=6/2→k=3

Vertex: V=(h,k)→V=(3,3)

p=yf-k→p=1-3→p=-2

Replacing the values in the equation:

f(x)= [ 1 / (4(-2)) ] (x-3)^2 + 3

f(x)=[ 1 / (-8) ] (x-3)^2 + 3

f(x)= - (1/8) (x-3)^2 + 3
