Listed below are the measured radiation emissions​ (in W/kg) corresponding to cell​ phones: A,​ B, C,​ D, E,​ F, G,​ H, I,​ J, a

nd K respectively. The media often present reports about the dangers of cell phone radiation as a cause of cancer. Cell phone radiation must be 1.6​ W/kg or less. Find the:
a.​ mean
b.​ median
c.​ midrange
d. mode for the data.
e. Also complete part e

0.75 0.22 1.23 0.64 0.54 0.24 0.81 1.57 0.29 1.02 0.35

e. If you are planning to purchase a cell phone, are any of the measures of center the most important statistic? Is there another statistic that is most relevant? If so, which one?

1. The minimum data value is the most relevant statistic, because it is closest to the limit of 1 _6Wlkg and that cell phone should be purchased.
2. The maximum data value is the most relevant statistic, because it is closest to the limit of 1 _6W/kg and that cell phone should be avoided.
3. The mean of the data set is the most important statistic because cell phones that have values close to it have the safest emissions.
4. The midpoint of the data set is the most important statistic because cell phones that have values close to it have the safest emissions.

Answer: a. Mean = 0.696364

b. Median = 0.64

c. Midrange = 0.895

d. There is no Mode

e. 2. The maximun data value is the most relevant statistic, because it is closest to the limit of 1.6W/kg and that cell should be avoided.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Mean is an average number of the data set, calculated by the sum of all the value divided by the quantity of the set:

mean = \frac{0.75+0.22+1.23+0.64+0.54+0.24+0.81+1.57+0.29+1.02+0.35}{11}

mean = 0.696364

b) Median is the middle number in the list of numbers. In this case, since there are 11 elements in the set, the middle number is:

sorted numbers of the data set:

0.22 0.24 0.29 0.35 0.54 0.64 0.75 0.81 1.02 1.23 1.57

median = 0.64

c) Midrange is another type of average number. It is calculated as:

midrange = \frac{high+low}{2}

midrange = \frac{1.57+0.22}{2}

midrange = 0.895

d) Mode is the number that appears most often in the list of numbers. For this data set, each number appears only one time, so there is no mode.

Mode = 0

e) According to the question, cell phone radiation is dangerous when it is higher than 1.6W/kg. The cell phone with the maximum data value (1.57 W/kg) should be avoided, since it is too close to the limit described.

So, the measures of center are not the most important statistic to be observed but the maximum data value.

Nine subtracted from the product of 4 and a number is greater than -19
krok68 [10]

Answer:What’s the question-

Step-by-step explanation:9-4 and greater than -19? Oh 5 because 9-4=5 but it’s greater than -19 because -19 is a negative number.

A 32-ounce package of a snack mix is 24 percent pretzels. How many ounces are pretzels?
xz_007 [3.2K]
Answer: The correct answer is Choice D.

If 24 percent of the snack mix is pretzel, we simply need to multiply the total number of ounces by 0.24.

0.24 x 32 = 7.68

7.68 ounces of the snack mix will be pretzels.

Find all points on the portion of the plane x+y+z=5 in the first octant at which f(x, y, z) = xy2z2 has a maximum value.
irina1246 [14]
Lagrange multipliers:

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=xy^2z^2+\lambda(x+y+z-5)

L_x=y^2z^2+\lambda=0
L_y=2xyz^2+\lambda=0
L_z=2xy^2z+\lambda=0
L_\lambda=x+y+z-5=0

\lambda=-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z

-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2\implies y=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-y^2z^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=y (if x,y,z\neq0)

In the first octant, we assume x,y,z>0, so we can ignore the caveats above. Now,

x+y+z=5\iff x+2x+2x=5x=5\implies x=1\implies y=z=2

so that the only critical point in the region of interest is (1, 2, 2), for which we get a maximum value of f(1,2,2)=16.

We also need to check the boundary of the region, i.e. the intersection of x+y+z=5 with the three coordinate axes. But in each case, we would end up setting at least one of the variables to 0, which would force f(x,y,z)=0, so the point we found is the only extremum.
