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

The end of a hose was resting on the ground, pointing up an angle. Sal measured the path of the water coming out of the hose and
Travka [436]

Answer:

3.2 feet


Step-by-step explanation:

The equation  f(x)=-0.3x^{2}+2x  shows the height of water [f(x)] and horizontal distance [x].

<em>Given the </em><em>horizontal distance is 4 feet</em><em>, they want to know the height.</em>


<em>Simply put 4 in x of the equation and solve for f(x). So,</em>

<em>f(x)=-0.3(4)^{2}+2(4)\\f(x)=3.2</em>

So, the height of the water was 3.2 feet above the ground.

5. Assuming that a is not equal to c, find the x-value of the intersection point of the lines y = ax +b and y = cx + d.
Ostrovityanka [42]

The x-value of the intersection point of the lines is ( d - b)/(a-c)

<h3>Intersection of lines</h3>

Given the equation of a line expressed as;

y = ax +b and;

y = cx + d.

Equating both lines, we will have:

  • ax + b = cx + d

Make x the subject of the formula:

ax - cx = d = b

x (a-c) = d - b

x = ( d - b)/(a-c)

Hence the x-value of the intersection point of the lines is ( d - b)/(a-c)
