.
Suppose the mean cost of rats used in lab experiments turned out to be $20.00 per week. Interpret this value.

a. The expected or average costs for all weekly rat purchases is $20.00

b. Most of the weeks resulted in rat costs of $20.00

c. The median cost for the distribution of rat costs is $20.00

d. The rat cost that occurs more often than any other is $20.00

Answer:

a. The expected or average costs for all weekly rat purchases is $20.00

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A mean value of $20.00 means that over a period of 52 weeks, the company can expect to spend $20.00 per week on rat purchases.

b. This is incorrect since individual values don't interfere in the mean. For instance, if half the weeks had a cost of $19.00 and the other half had a cost of $21.00, the mean cost would still be $20.00 even though no particular week had a $20.00 cost

c. Incorrect. The median is the central value in a distribution; the median and the mean are not necessarily the same.

d. Incorrect, same as item b.

A botanist measured the length of a tomato seedling as 3.56 centimeters. Select her degree of accuracy in measurement.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

her degree of accuracy in measurement is 0.05 cm (Option D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of accuracy in the measurement of the botanist depends on the instrument used.

For a length of 3.56 centimeters, it shows that the length of the tomato seedling was measured using meter rule or tape.

Meter rule is graduated in 1 mm or 0.1 cm. The estimated uncertainty in measurement using meter rule is half of its graduation i.e ( ¹/₂ of 0.1 cm = 0.05 cm).

If the botanist measured the length of tomato seedling as 3.56 centimeters, then her degree of accuracy in measurement is 3.56 cm ± 0.05 cm.

Therefore, her degree of accuracy in measurement is 0.05 cm (Option D)

True or false​: the population proportion and sample proportion always have the same value.
Bingel [31]
Answer: false

The sample is a randomly selected representation of the population, therefore it cannot represent the true data with 100% accuracy.
As the sample size increases, the sample proportion approaches the population proportion.

Is 87656432 divisible by 4? Is there a shortcut?
Natasha2012 [34]
Hope this isn't too confusing

All of the numbers have different shortcuts.
1. Yes. Divisible by 4: if last two digits are divisible by 4 then the whole number is yes)
2. No. Divisible by 6: it must be even and when you add them up, (44) it must be divisible by 3 (no, 44 is not divisible by 3)
3. Divisible by 8: ( last 3 numbers are divisible by 8 (312) = 39 ( yes it is)
4 Yes. Divisible by 11: ( sum of digits at odd places and sum of digits at even spaces,is either 0 or divisible by 11) yes, 278949. (2+8+9) + (7+9+9)= 19 + 25 = 44 and 44 is divisible by 11)
5. No. Divisible by 12 (divisible by 3 and 4, sum of digits is divisible by 3 ; and last 2 digits divisible by 4: 87654395 : 52/3= 18 (yes) 95/4(no) this number not divisible by 12
6. No. Divisible by 15: divisible by 3 and 5 ..87654385 = 46/3 = 15..(No) divisible by 5 yes. The number is not divisible by 15
