A wildlife refuge in South America has howler monkeys and spider monkeys. A biologist working there randomly selected eight adul

ts of each type of monkey, weighed them, and recorded their weights in pounds.
howler monkey: {15, 16, 17, 17, 17, 17, 18, 19}

spider monkey: {12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 16, 16}

1. Calculate the mean and MAD for each type of monkey.
2. Calculate the means-to-MAD ratio for the two types of monkeys.
3. What inference can be made about the weight of both types of monkeys? Explain.

The mean for the howler monkeys is 17 and the MAD is 0.8571.
The mean for the spider monkeys is 14 and the MAD is 1.1429.

The means-to-MAD ratio is 2.6249.

This means that on average, the number of mean absolute deviations that separate the means is 2.6.  This means they are different.

To find the mean of the howler monkeys, add all of the data values and divide by 7:
<span>(15+16+17+17+17+17+18+19)/7 = 119/7 = 17

To find the MAD, subtract each data point from the mean; take the absolute deviation; then average these together:
(|15-17|+|16-17|+|17-17|+|17-17|+|17-17|+|17-17|+|18-17|+|19-17|)/7
=(2+1+0+0+0+0+1+2)/7=6/7 = 0.8571

Repeating these processes for the spider monkeys:
Mean:(</span><span>12+13+13+14+14+14+16+16)/7 = 98/7 = 14
</span>MAD:
(|12-14|+|13-14|+|13-14|+|14-14|+|14-14|+|14-14|+|16-14|+|16-14|)/7
=(2+1+1+0+0+0+2+2)/7 = 8/7 = 1.1429

To find the means-to-MAD ratio, find the difference in the means and divide it by the larger MAD:
17-14=3; 3/1.1429 = 2.6249

Write an exponential function y = ab" whose graph passes through (2,12) and (5,96).
motikmotik

Answer:

y = 3(2)^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given points into the function and solve for a and b

Using (2, 12)

12 = ab² → (1)

Using (5, 96)

96 = ab^{5} → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

\frac{ab^5}{ab^2} = \frac{96}{12} , that is

b³ = 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )

b = \sqrt[3]{8} = 2

Substitute b = 2 into (1) and solve for a

12 = a2² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

3 = a

Thus

y = 3(2)^{x} ← is the exponential function

Joshua is going kayaking with a group during one of his vacation days. In his vacation planning, he budgeted $50 for a kayak ren
pochemuha

Answer: Divide Kayak budget by rental rate

Step-by-step Explanation:

As Joshua is renting for himself alone, the two available options would be the Single Kayak and the Single Sea Kayak.

He can determine the number of hours to rent a Kayak for by dividing his Kayak Budget by the rental rate per hour of the 2 options available to him.

<h2>Single Kayak</h2>

Budget available = $50

Rental rate = $15 per hour

Hours he can rent = 50/15

= 3.33 hours

<h2>Single Sea Kayak</h2>

Budget available = $50

Rental rate = $18 per hour

Hours he can rent = 50/18

= 2.78 hours

From 42 acres to 72 acres (round to the nearest percent
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

42 acres to 72 acres, there is an increase of 30 acres

percentage wise

72-42=30

30/72=.4166...

therefore there is also a 41.6% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

71.42 Percentage change:×100%

Now, the change is given from 42 acres to 72 acres, therefore

Change= 72-42=30

⇒Percentage change= ×100%

                                   = 71.42
