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

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 7 feet long. One leg is 4 feet longer than the other. Find the lengths of the legs, Round
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Shorter leg = 2.5 ft.

Longer leg = 6.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Because the hypotenuse = 7 ft, a^2 + b^2 = 49

To represent the two legs, we can use x and x+4.

x^2 + (x+4)^2 = 49

Simplifying this equation using FOIL gives us 2x^2 + 8x - 33 = 0.

Then, using the quadratic formula, we find that x = 2.5.

Thus, the shorter leg is 2.5 ft. and, when 4 is added, the longer leg is 6.5 ft.

10. The continuously compounded annual return on a stock is normally distributed with a mean of 20% and standard deviation of 30
ehidna [41]

Answer: We should expect its actual return in any particular year to be between<u> -40%</u> and<u> 80%</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The continuously compounded annual return on a stock is normally distributed with a mean 20% and standard deviation of 30%.

From normal z-table, the z-value corresponds to 95.44 confidence is 2.

Therefore , the interval limits for 95.44 confidence level will be :

Lower limit = Mean -2(Standard deviation) = 20% -2(30%)= 20%-60%=-40%

Upper limit =  Mean +2(Standard deviation)=20% +2(30%)= 20%+60%=80%

Hence, we should expect its actual return in any particular year to be between<u> -40%</u> and<u> 80%</u>.
