Pamela called nine repair shops for quotes for auto repairs. The prices are $139, $150, $345, $99, $167, $155, $140, $200, and $

160. She thinks there is a chance that there is an outlier and the data may be biased. Which measure of central tendency should she choose and what value would best represent the central tendency?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices of quoted of auto repairs are as listed below;

$139, $150, $345, $99, $167, $155, $140, $200.

For her to check whether there is an outlier in the data, she needs to find the mean of the set of data. An outlier is a value in a set of a data that varies considerably from other data in a dataset. It may be larger or smaller than other set of datas. An outlier can affect the decision of a set of data to be analysed if nor taken care of.

From the data, the possible outliers are $99 and $345

Mean of the data = sum of all the prices/sample size

xbar = \sum Xi / N

Xi are individual datas

\sum Xi = $139+$150+$345+$99+$167+$155+$140+$200+$160

\sumXi = $1555

Sample size = 9

Mean = $1555/9

Mean = $172.78

Hence the value that would best represent the central tendency is $177.78

The administrator of a $200,000 trust fund must adhere to following guidelines.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

let us give all the quantities in the problem variable names.

x= amount in utility stock  

y = amount in electronics stock  

c = amount in bond

“The total amount of $200,000 need not be fully invested at any one time.”

becomes

x + y + c ≤ 200, 000,

Also

“The amount invested in the stocks cannot be more than half the total amount invested”

a + b ≤1/2 (total amount invested),

=1/2(x + y + c).

(x+y-c)/2≤0

“The amount invested in the utility stock cannot exceed $40,000”

a ≤ 40, 000

“The amount invested in the bond must be at least $70,000”

 c ≥ 70, 000

Putting this all together, our linear optimization problem is:

Maximize z = 1.09x + 1.04y + 1.05c

subject to

x+ y+ c ≤ 200, 000

x/2 +y/2 -c/2 ≤ 0

              ≤ 40, 000,

              c ≥ 70, 000

a ≥ 0, b ≥ 0, c ≥ 0.

The mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs the most.

The numbers in this set are as follows,

26, 17, 9, 12, 18, 21, 9, 14, 18, 23, 15, 7, 20, 18, 17, and 12

26 I

17 II

9 II

12 II

18 III

21 I

14 I

23 I

15 I

7 I

20 I

The number that appears the most is 18!

So the mode of the set of numbers is 18!

Prism A has a volume of 60 cubic units and a height of 12 units. Prism B has the same base area and height but a length of 15 un
stepladder [879]

Answer:

As both prism have the same base area and height there volumes are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the prism is given by

Volume of Prism A= base area* height

60 cubic units= base area* 12

base area= 60/12= 5 units

Volume of Prism B= base area* height

                              = 5 units*12 units

                             = 60 cubic units

As both prism have the same base area and height there volumes are the same.

The length of the longer side is the length of the triangle itself.

For example the length of longer side of prism A maybe 10 units but width may be 1/2 units

and

the length of longer side of prism B maybe 15 units but width may be 1/3 units

the total base area remains the same.

PLZZZ CHECK ME<br><br> Is this correct, if not please help me.
Gwar [14]
Hello! For this question, you solve using order of operations, which you probably already have remembered as PEMDAS. Anytime a number is raised to the 0 power, that is equivalent to 1. 0.5^0 is 1. 250 * 1 is 250. x = 0 gives us the answer of 250. Now, let's solve for the number by the second power. 0.5² is 0.25. 250 * 0.25 is 62.5. x² gives us 62.5. Now, let's subtract the two numbers together. 250 - 62.5 is 187.5. Because the number is decreasing, the slope is negative, so the answer is -187.5. Your answer is correct.
