A set of N = 20 exam scores has a mean of m = 50. The instructor discovered that an error was made grading one exam, so 20 point

s are added to that student's score. After adding the 20 points, what is the new mean for the class? Hint: Write down the formula for the mean and fill in all known information. What is the new mean for the class?

Answer:

The new mean for the exam scores is 51

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean can be calculated using the formula

mean of scores = \frac{Sum total    of scores}{Number of students}

before the 20 points was added, the mean of the score was = 50.

Inserting this into the formula, we have:

50 = \frac{Sum total}{20 students}

from this, we can compute the sum total of the scores as

sum total = 50 × 20 = 1000

when the extra 20 marks is added, the sum of the entire scores will be changed to 1000 + 20 = 1020.

Hence the new mean will be computed as (New Sum total of scores / Number of students)

= \frac{1020}{20} = 51.

∴ The new mean of the scores is = 51

Can someone please help with this trig question?

First we must understand how to write a logarithmic function:

log_{b}a=x

In the equation above, b is the base, x is the exponent, and a is the answer. These same variables can be rearranged to be expressed as an exponential equation as followed:

b^x=a

Next, we need to understand basic logarithm rules.

1. When a value is raised to a power, we can move the exponent to the front of the logarithm. Example:

log(a^2) = 2log(a)

2. When two variables are multiplied together, we can add the logarithms of the individual variables together. Example:

log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)

3. When a variable is divided by another variable, we can subtract the logarithms of the individual variables. Example:

log(a/b) = log(a) - log(b)

Now we can use these rules to solve the problem.

log(r)=log( \sqrt[3]{ \frac{A^2B}{C} } )

We can rewrite the cube root as:

log(r) = log( (\frac{A^2B}{C})^ \frac{1}{3} )

Now we can move  the one-third to the front:

log(r) =  \frac{1}{3} log( \frac{A^2B}{C} )

Now we can split up the logarithm:

log(r) =  \frac{1}{3} (log(A^2)+log(B)-log(C))

Finally, we can move the exponent to the front of the log of A:

log(r) = \frac{1}{3} (2log(A)+log(B)-log(C))

Distribute the one-third to get the answer:

log(r) = \frac{2}{3} log(A) +  \frac{1}{3} log(B) -  \frac{1}{3} log(C)

The answer is (4).

Using the chart below, determine which option would be the cheapest overall? Option Number of Months Down Payment Interest Rate
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Answer:

Option 1, by $851.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1 total:

$8000 + $765.44*5*12 = $53926.40

Option 2 total:

$8000 + $626.25*4*12 + 0.38*$43995 = $54778.10

The difference:

$54778.1 - $53926.40 = $851.70

As we see the option 1 is cheaper by $851.70

Correct answer choice is the last one
