Boys:  x
gilrs:   y

From the text of the task:

\left \{ {{\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{7}} \atop {x+y=48 \rightarrow x=48-y}} \right.

Replacing x:

\frac{48-y}{y}=\frac{5}{7}\\
\\
7(48-y)=5y\\
\\
336-7y=5y\\
\\
12y=336\\
\\
y=\frac{336}{12}=28

So there are 28 girs and 20 boys

Did you say that the ratio of boys to girls is 5 to 7 ?

Well, then we know that 5 'groups' in the cast are boys, and 7 'groups' are girls.
So all together, there are 12 'groups' of students in the play, although we don't know
how many a 'group' is.

But wait a second.  You said there are 48 all together.  So each 'group' must be
48/12 = 4 students.

5 'groups' of boys = 20 boys
7 'groups' of girls = 28 girls

Check:

-- The ratio of 20 to 28 is 5 to 7 .  OK

-- 20 + 28 = 48 all together. OK

It all checks out.

1. Using c=2pi(r), plug in 7 for r and solve. Then using a=pi(r)^2, plug in 7 for r once again and solve.

2. First, the diameter (d) is 12 so to get the radius (r), divide 12 by 2 and you should get 6. Then use c=2pi(r) for circumference and a=pi(r)^2 for area to solve.

3. To get the area of the semicircle, divide 16 by 2 to get the radius (r), plug it into a=pi(r)^2, and divide the answer you get for a by 2. To get the area of the triangle, use a=1/2bh, plugging in 16 for b and 10 for h. Finally, add your two answers (the a's from the semicircle and triangle problems).

4. Multiply 20 by 5.5 to get the area of the triangle. Then multiply 4.5 by 20 to get the area of the parallelogram and add your two quotients.

5. Use a=1/2bh and plug in 4 for b and 3 for h and solve. Then multiply the quotient by 10 and there's your volume. To find the surface area, solve SA=(10×4)+(10×3)+(10×5)+12. All I did there was find the area of all the sides and added them together.

6. To find the triangle's volume, use a=1/2bh (b=4, h=1.5) and then multiply the quotient of that by 2.5. To find the rectangle's volume, use v=lwh (l=4, w=2.5, h=2) and solve. Finally, add the triangle's volume and the rectangle's volume to get the total volume. To get its surface area, start with the rectangle. Find the areas of all the sides and add them together but then subtract the 2.5×4 rectangle as it is not on the surface. It should look like this: SA=2(4×2)+2(2.5×2)+10. Again, all I did was find the areas of all the rectangle's sides on the surface and added them. Next, find the triangle's areas on the surface and it should look like this: SA=2(1.5×4)+2(2.5×2.5). Finally, add both values of SA from the triangle and rectangle and there's your surface area.

Zanzabum

Answer:

a) (1215, 1297)

b) (1174,  1338)

c) (1133, 1379)      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 1256

Standard Deviation, σ = 41

Empirical Rule:

  • Also known as 68-95-99.7 rule.
  • It states that almost all the data lies within three standard deviation for a normal data.
  • About 68% of data lies within 1 standard deviation of mean.
  • About 95% of data lies within two standard deviation of mean.
  • About 99.7% of data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean.

a) range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data lies

\mu \pm 1(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 41\\=(1215, 1297)

68% of data will be found between 1215 years and 1297 years.

b) range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data lies

\mu \pm 2(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 2(41)\\=1256 \pm 82\\=(1174, 1338)

95% of data will be found between 1174 years and 1338 years.

c) range of years centered about the mean in which about all of the data lies

\mu \pm 3(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 3(41)\\=1256 \pm 123\\=(1133, 1379)

All of data will be found between 1133 years and 1379 years.

What does first difference mean?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

In statistics and econometrics, the first-difference (FD) estimator is an estimator used to address the problem of omitted variables with panel data. It is consistent under the assumptions of the fixed effects model. In certain situations it can be more efficient than the standard fixed effects (or "within") estimator.

First differences are the differences between consecutive y-‐values in tables of values with evenly spaced x-‐values. If the first differences of a relation are constant, the relation is _______________________________ If the first differences of a relation are not constant, the relation is ___________________________
