Over the first five years of owning her car, Gina drove about 12,700 miles the first year, 15,478 miles the second year, 12,675

the third year, 11,850 the fourth year, and 13,075 the fifth year. a. Find the mean, median, and mode of this data. b. Explain which measure of central tendency will best predict how many miles Gina will drive in the sixth year.

Answer:

Part a)

Mean: 13155.6

Mode:None

Median: 12700

Step-by-step explanation:

12700 : 1

15478: 2

12675: 3

11850: 4

13075: 5

Mean :  

=\frac{Sum of all values}{Total no. of values} \\=\frac{12700 + 15478 + 12675 + 11850 + 13075}{5}\\=\frac{65778}{5}\\= 13155.6

Mode:

All values are distinct, therefore there is no mode. A mode is value which occurs most frequently.

Median:

Arrange the values in ascending order:

11850 , 12675, 12700, 12075, 15478

The mid value is median: 12700


Part b)

It depends upon the data. In this question the best way to predict how many miles Gina will drive in the next years is by using Median of the data.

The reason is that there is a potential outlier in the data  i.e 15478. In case of outlier median tends to give better predictions.

Find the exponential function that satisfies the given conditions: Initial value = 64, decreasing at a rate of 0.5% per week
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is of the form

y=ab^x

where a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate.  Our initial value is 64.  That's easy to plug in.  It goes in for a.  So the first choice is out.  Considering b now...

If the rate is decreasing at .5% per week, this means it still retains a rate of

100% - .5% = 99.5%

which is .995 in decimal form.

b is a rate of decay when it is greater than 0 but less than 1; b is a growth rate when it is greater than 1.   .995 is less than 1 so it is a rate of decay.  The exponential function is, in terms of t,

f(t) = 64(.995)^t

Find all numbers such that three times the number is greater than eight less than the number.
klio [65]

Answer:

ALL SUCH NUMBERS WHICH ARE GREATER THAN -4 satisfy the given condition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, assume such number = m

Now, given :

3 times the number = 3 x ( m) = 3 m

8 less than the given number =  m - 8

Now, according to the question:

3 times the number  > 8 less than the given number

or, 3 m > m - 8

or, 3m  - m > m - 8 + m

or, 2  m > - 8

or, m > - 4

Hence, all SUCH NUMBERS WHICH ARE GREATER THAN -4 satisfy the given condition.
