Answer

Option A: the median is greater than the mean and the distribution has only one outlier

Explanation:

From the data median is definitely greater than mean as we can see from the data of siblings, median which is middle number is somewhere greater than the mean 3.5 from the question. Also from the definition of an oulier and given that the median is just one middle number in data, there is just one outlier in the data

Assume that a computer was used to generate the given confidence interval for the population mean. Find the sample mean or margi
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The sample mean is

b.3.55

The margin of error is

0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Deep explanation about a confidence interval

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645*215 = 353.675

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 6.4 - 0.3944 = 6.01 hours.

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 6.4 + 0.3944 = 6.74 hours.

In this problem:

The deep explanation is not that important.

We just have to recognize that the interval has a lower end and an upper end. The distance from both the upper and the lower end to the mean is M. This means that the sample mean is the halfway point between the lower end and the upper end.

The margin of error is the distance of these two points(lower and upper end) to the mean.

In our interval

Lower end: 3.23

Upper end: 3.87

Sample mean

M = \frac{3.23 + 3.87}{2} = 3.55

So the correct answer is:

b.3.55

The margin of error is

3.87 - 3.55 = 3.55 - 3.23 = 0.32

A value meal package at Ron's Subs consists of a drink, a sandwich, and a bag of chips. There are 4 types of drinks to choose fr
sasho [114]

Answer:

60 different meal packages are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fundamental counting principle:

States that if there are p ways to do a thing, and q ways to do another thing, and these two things are independent, there are p*q ways to do both things.

In this question:

4 types of drinks

5 types of sandwiches.

3 types of chips.

They are independent events, so, by the fundamental counting principle:

4*5*3 = 60

60 different meal packages are possible.

Find the length of each side of the triangle determined by the three points P1,P2, and P3. State whether the triangle is an isos
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The triangle is both an Isosceles triangle and a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices of a triangle.

$ P_{1} = (- 1, 4) $

$ P_{2} = (6, 2) $    and

$ P_{3} = (4, - 5) $

We find the distance between all the points to determine the length of each side of the triangle.

Distance between any two points, say, $ (x_1, y_1) $ and $ (x_2, y_2) $ is:

                                 $ \sqrt{\bigg ( \textbf{x}_{\textbf{2}} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{- x}_{\textbf{1}} \bigg )^{\textbf{2}} \textbf{+}   \bigg( \textbf{y}_{\textbf{2}} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{- y}_{\textbf{1}} \bigg)^ {\textbf{2}} $

Length between $ P_1 $ and $ P_{2} $ , (Side 1) :

$ (x_1, y_1) = (- 1, 4) $     and

$ (x_2, y_2) = (6, 2) $

Distance = $ \sqrt{\bigg(6 - (-1) \bigg)^{2} \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} \bigg( 2 - 4 \bigg )^2 $

$ = \sqrt{7^2 + 2^2} $

$ = \sqrt{49 + 4} $

$ = \sqrt{\textbf{53}} $

Length of Side 1 = $  \sqrt{\textbf{53}} $ units.

Distance between $ P_1 $ and P_2 , (Side 2):

$ (x_1, y_1) = (-1, 4) $

$ (x_2, y_2) = (4, - 5) $

Distance = $ \sqrt{ \bigg( 4 + 1 \bigg)^2 \hspace{1mm} + \bigg( - 5 - 4 \bigg ) ^2 $

$ = \sqrt{ 25 + 81 } $

$ = \sqrt{\textbf{106}} $

Length of Side 2 = $ \sqrt{\textbf{106}} $ units.

Distance between $ P_2 $ and $ P_3 $ , Side 3 :

$ (x_1, y_1) = (4, 5) $

$ (x_2, y_2) = (6, 2) $

Distance = $ \sqrt{ 2^2 \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} 7^2} $

$ = \sqrt{49 + 4} $

$ = \sqrt{\textbf{53} $

Length of Side 3  = $ \sqrt{\textbf{53}} $ units.

Note that the length of Side 1 = Length of Side 3.

That means the triangle is Isosceles.

Also, For a triangle to be right angle triangle, using Pythagoras theorem we have:

(Side 1)² + (Side 3)² = (Side 2)²

$ \bigg( \sqrt{53} \bigg )^2 \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} \bigg( \sqrt{53} \bigg)^2 \hspace{1mm} = \hspace{1mm} \bigg ( \sqrt{106} \bigg ) ^2 $

i.e, 53 + 53  = 106

Hence, the triangle is a right - angled triangle as well.
