2. A pet food company wants to know the number of pets owned by adults ages 21 to 70. The frequency table shows the data from a

simple random sample of the targeted population.
Total pets owned 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Number of adults 248 567 1402 728 419 456 203

What is the estimated mean for the population? Explain your answer and show your work.

Answer:

3.6669

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a frequency distribution and we are expected to find the mean of the distribution.

Let X be the no of total pets owned and f be the number of adults owning those pets.

                                                          Total

x   1    2    3           4          5                   6                 7    

F 248 567 1402 728         419                 456                203     4023

x*f 248 1134 4206 2912 2095        2736         1421     14752

       

Mean        3.666915237

Thus we find the total of all frequencies and then sum of product of x*f.

Mean = sum of f*x/sum of x

Here mean= 3.6669

Find the inverse f(x)=x+5/3x-1<br><br> f^-1(x)=
Kipish [7]

Answer:

  • f^-1(x) = (3/8)(x +1) . . . . as written
  • f^-1(x) = (x +5)/(3x -1) . . . with appropriate parentheses

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse function can be found by solving for y:

  x = f(y)

  x = y + 5/3y -1 . . . . . . . . . . y +(5/3)y -1 . . . per order of operations

  x+1 = 8/3y . . . . . . . . . . add 1

  (3/8)(x +1) = y . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/8

  f^-1(x) = (3/8)(x +1) . . . . . inverse of the function as written

_____

Perhaps you intend f(x) = (x+5)/(3x-1). The inverse is found the same way.

  x = (y +5)/(3y -1)

  x(3y -1) = y +5

  3xy -x = y +5 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  3xy -y = x + 5 . . . . . add x-y

  y(3x -1) = x +5 . . . . . factor out y

  y = (x +5)/(3x -1) . . . divide by the coefficient of y

  f^-1(x) = (x +5)/(3x -1) . . . . inverse of rational function

PLEASE HELP I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM DOING!!!
algol13

Answer: 28.26


Step-by-step explanation:

What your looking for is called the annulus (or the difference of two concentric circles). You can find the annulus by subtracting the area of the inner circle from the area of the outer circle. Volume of a circle= πr²

You are given the diameter in these problems, so you need radius.

For the first circle (8 in one) :

8/2=4    r=4

A=3.14(4)²

A=50.24

For the second one (10 in one) :

10/2=5   r=5

A=3.14(5)²

A=78.5

To find the measure of the annulus, you subtract those numbers, getting 28.26

Vector u has initial point at (3, 9) and terminal point at (–7, 5). Vector v has initial point at (1, –4) and terminal point at
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

⟨-5, -1⟩

Step-by-step explanation:

Vector:

A vector is given by its endpoint subtracted by its initial point.

Vector u has initial point at (3, 9) and terminal point at (–7, 5)

Then

u = (-7, 5) - (3,9) = (-7 - 3, 5 - 9) = (-10,-4)

Vector v has initial point at (1, –4) and terminal point at (6, –1).

Then

v = (6,-1) - (1,-4) = (6-1,-1-(-4)) = (5,3)

What is u + v in component form?

u + v = (-10,-4) + (5,3) = (-10+5,-4+3) = (-5,-1)

⟨-5, -1⟩ is the answer.
