Answer:

Mean =25.78

Median =20

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the following list contains the average annual total returns (in percentage points) for 9 mutual funds. The mutual funds appear in an online brokerage firm's "all-star" list.

40, 30, 6, 10, 30, 18, 15, 20, 36

Let us find the sum of these 9 entries

Sum = 205

a) Mean = \frac{205}{9} =22.78

b) Median of this data set is the middle entry after arranging in ascending order

Here it would be the 5th entry

6,10, 15, 18,20, 30, 30, 36, 40

Median = 20

Xavier, Yessie, and Zorro each choose a different favorite positive fraction. Each fraction is in simplest form. Yessie's fracti
ad-work [718]
Let Xavier's favourite fraction be a/b, Yessie's favourite fraction = b/a and Zorro's favourite fraction = c/d,

c/d x a/b = 12/35 . . . . . . . . (1)
c/d x b/a = 15/7 . . . . . . . . (2)

(1) x (2) = c/d x a/b x c/d x b/a = 12/35 x 15/7
 c^2 / d^2 = 36/49
c^2 = 36
c = 6
d^2 = 49
d = 7

Xaviers favourite fraction = 12/35 / 6/7 = 2/5
Yessies favourite fraction = 5/2
Zorro favourite fraction = 6/7

A bullet is fired straight up from a gun with initial velocity 1120 feet per second at an initial height of 8 feet. Use the form
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

70 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

The initial velocity v_o of the bullet fired = 1120 ft/s

Initial height h = 8 feet

The expression to determine how many seconds it takes the bullet to hit the ground is:

h = -16t^2 +v_ot + 8

Thus;

Replacing the value of v_o =  1120 and h = 0 (i.e. when h =0) in the above expression; we have:

0= -16t^2 +(1120)t + 8

=  -16t^2 +(1120)t + (8-0)

= -16t² + 1120t + 8

mulitiply through by (-)

= 16t² -1120t - 8

Divide through by 8

= 2t² -  140t - 1

The above expression forms a quadratic equation.

where;

a = 2

b = -140

c = - 1

So, by using the quadratic formula \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, we have:

= \dfrac{-(-140) \pm \sqrt{(-140)^2-4(2)(-1)}}{2(2)}

= \dfrac{140 \pm \sqrt{19600-(-8)}}{4}

= \dfrac{140 \pm \sqrt{19608}}{4}

= \dfrac{140 \pm 140}{4}

=\dfrac{140+ 140}{4} \ \ \ OR \ \ \  \dfrac{140-140}{4}

=\dfrac{280}{4} \ \ \ OR \ \ \  0

= 70

Thus, the time (in seconds) it took the bullet to it the ground = 70 seconds

Sometimes it helps to put a number line in front of you. If one number is to the left of the other number on the number line, it's a lower number. If one number is to the right of the other number on the number line, it is greater.

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5

4 is a solution of x<-5
FALSE: 4 is not greater than -5


-3 is a solution of y>-2
FALSE: -3 is not greater than -2


y≤3 includes 3 as a possible solution
TRUE: 3 is less than OR EQUAL to 3


Hope this helps! :)
