Answer:

13.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 8.2^2 = 15.5^2

x = \sqrt{15.5^2 -8.2^2}

x = 13.2 ft

√180 can be expressed in the form p√q. where p and q are integers. Find the smallest value of p + q. ​
frutty [35]

Answer:  

The smallest value of p+q is 11

It happens when p = 6 and q = 5.

=======================================================

Explanation:

Let's factor 180 in such a way that exactly one factor is a perfect square.

I'll ignore the trivial factor of 1.

Here are the possible factorizations we could go with:

180 = 4*45

180 = 9*20

180 = 36*5

Those factorizations then lead to the following

\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{4*45} = \sqrt{4}*\sqrt{45}= 2\sqrt{45}\\\\\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{9*20} = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{20}= 3\sqrt{20}\\\\\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{36*5} = \sqrt{36}*\sqrt{5}= 6\sqrt{5}\\\\

Then we have

p+q = 2+45 = 47

p+q = 3+20 = 23

p+q = 6+5 = 11

The smallest value of p+q is 11 and it happens when p = 6 and q = 5.

Side note: p+q is smallest when we go with the largest perfect square factor.

According to a Los Angeles Times study of more than 1 million medical dispatches from to , the response time for medical aid var
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

A)Mean :10.65

Median =10.7

Mode : 10.7

B)Range = 3.5

Standard deviation :0.89916

C)The response time of 8.3 minutes should be considered an outlier in comparison to the other response times

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Data : 11.8 ,10.3, 10.7, 10.6, 11.5, 8.3, 10.5, 10.9, 10.7, 11.2

Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}\\Mean = \frac{11.8 +10.3+ 10.7+ 10.6+ 11.5+ 8.3+ 10.5+ 10.9+ 10.7+ 11.2}{10}

Mean = 10.65

Median: The mid value of the data

Data in ascending order

8.3

10.3

10.5

10.6

10.7

10.7

10.9

11.2

11.5

11.8

n=10(even)

Median = \frac{(\frac{n}{2})\text{th term}+(\frac{n}{2}+1)\text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{(\frac{10}{2})\text{th term}+(\frac{10}{2}+1)\text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{10.7+10.7}{2}\\Median = 10.7

Mode : the most occurring frequency

10.7 is occurring twice while others are occurring once

So, Mode is 10.7

B) Range = Maximum - Minimum=11.8-8.3=3.5

Standard deviation : \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}

Standard deviation :\sqrt{\frac{(11.8-10.65)^2+(10.3-10.65)^2+......+(10.9-10.65)^2+(10.7-10.65)^2+(11.2-10.65)^2}{10}}

Standard deviation :0.89916

C)

8.3

,10.3

,10.5

,10.6

,10.7

,10.7

,10.9

,11.2

,11.5

,11.8

For Q1 ( Median of lower quartile )

8.3

,10.3

,10.5

,10.6

,10.7

Median = \frac{n+1}{2}\text{th term} =\frac{5+1}{2}=3 \text{rd term}=10.5

For Q3( Median of Upper quartile )

10.7

,10.9

,11.2

,11.5

,11.8

Median = \frac{n+1}{2}\text{th term} =\frac{5+1}{2}=3 \text{rd term}=11.2

IQR = Q3-Q1=11.2-10.5=0.7

Range :(Q1-1.5IQR, Q3-1.5IQR)

Range :(10.5-1.5 \times 0.7, 11.2-1.5 \times 0.7)

Range :(9.45, 10.15)

8.3 does not lie in this interval

So, the response time of 8.3 minutes should be considered an outlier in comparison to the other response times
