Answer:

a) Decrease

b) New mean = 78.43

c) Decrease                        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of students in class = 28

Average of 27 students = 79

Standard Deviation of 27 students = 6.5

New student's score = 63

a) The new student's score will decrease the average.

b) New mean

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean = \dfrac{\displaystyle\sum x_i}{27} = 79\\\\\sum x_i = 27\times 79 = 2133

New mean =

\text{ New mean} =\dfrac{ \displaystyle\sum x_i +63}{28}\\\\ =\dfrac{2133+63}{28}= \dfrac{2196}{28} = 78.43

Thus, the new mean is 78.43

c) Since the new mean decreases, standard deviation for new scores will decrease.

This is because the new value is within the usual values i.e. within two standard deviations of the mean. So, this wont cause a lot of variation as this value will be closer to already available data values. Also number of observations (n) in the denominator is increasing. Based on both these points we can conclude that standard deviation will decrease

Formula for Standard Deviation:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.

Kyra was at soccer practice. she blocked 55% of the goals that were kicked at her during a team drill. ashley scored two of the
Minchanka [31]

Total kicks that were attempted = 40

Goals blocked by Kyra = 55%;

Goals which could not be blocked by Kyra = 100 - 55 = 45%

Goals made during team drill = 18

Let total kicks attempted be 'n';

Therefore;

(18/n) × 100 % = 45 %

18/n = 45/100;

n = 1800/45;

n = 40

The first step to find how many 1/4 inch segments are in 1 and 1/2 inches is to convert 1 and 1/2 into an improper fraction.
To do this, convert 1 into a fraction with the same denominator as 1/2, which is 2.
1 = 1/1
1/1 = 2/2
Now add 2/2, which is the same as 1, to 1/2.
2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
So 1 and 1/2 = 3/2
Now multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 so you can see how many times 1/4 goes into the fraction equivalent to 1 and 1/2.
3/2 = 6/4
1/4 goes into 6/4 6 times, since the numerator of 1 goes into the numerator of 6 6 times.

So the answer is that 6 1/4 inch segments are in 1 and 1/2 inches.

A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled Decimal with entries 0.1 6 repeating, 0.3 repeating, 0.5, x, 0.8 3 repeating.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled Decimal with entries 0.1 6 repeating, 0.3 repeating, 0.5, x, 0.8 3 repeating. Column 2 is labeled Fraction with entries one-sixth, two-sixths, three-sixths, four-sixths, five-sixths.

Which best shows how the table can be used to determine the missing value x?

2(two-sixths) equals four-sixths, so 2(0.5) = 1, and x = 1.

4(1-sixth) equals four-sixths, so 4(0.16) = 0.64, and x = 0.64.

Three-sixths plus one-sixth equals four-sixths, so 0.5 + 0.16 = 0.6, and x = 0.6.

Five-sixths plus one-sixth equals four-sixths, so 0.83 + 0.16 = 0.99, and x = 0.9
