Lauren needs to get a mean/median score in order to keep from changing either of those values. She needs a 95.

_____

In order, the scores are

... 91, 92, 93, 95, 96, 98, 100

The median is the middle of these, 95, and the problem statement tells us the mean is the same (which it is).

=====

If Lauren were to get a higher score, it would raise the mean. The median would shift to halfway between 95 and 96. The score that makes the new mean be 95.5 is 99. The mean and median would be the same (again), but they wouldn't stay the same value they are now.

Likewise, if Lauren were to get a lower score, it would reduce the mean. The median would shift to halfway between 93 and 95. The score that makes the new mean be 94 is 87. The mean and median would be the same (again), but they wouldn't be the same value they are now.

If Lauren got 87, 95, or 99 on her test, her mean and median scores would <em>be</em> the same. They would only <em>stay</em> the same if she got a 95.

The ratio table below shows the relationship between the weight of apples purchased and the total cost of the apples.
Dovator [93]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

It's clear that the ratio of the weight and cost is 1:2.

So when you increase the factor by 4 , the cost increases by 8.

That's all I can say, and I'm sure my answer is correct.

I have 100 items of product in stock. The probability mass function for the product's demand D is P(D=90)=P(D=100)=P(D=110)=1/3.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The probability mass function for the items sold is

P_X(k) = \left \{ {\frac{1}{3} \, \, \, {k=90} \atop \, \frac{2}{3} \, \, \, {k=100}} \right.

The mean is 96.667

The variance is 22.222

b) The probability mass function for the unfilled demand due to lack of stock is

P_Y(k) = \left \{ {\frac{2}{3} \, \, \, {k=0} \atop \, \frac{1}{3} \, \, \, {k=10}} \right.

The mean is 3.333

The variance is 33.333

Step-by-step explanation:

If the demand is higher than 100, then you will sell 100 items only. Thus, there is a probability of 1/3+1/3 = 2/3 that you will sell 100 items, while there is a probability of 1/3 that you will sell 90.

The probability mass function for the items sold is

P_X(k) = \left \{ {\frac{1}{3} \, \, \, {k=90} \atop \, \frac{2}{3} \, \, \, {k=100}} \right.

The mean is 1/3 * 90 + 2/3 * 100 = 290/3 = 96.667

The variance is V(X) = E(X²)-E(X)² = (1/3*90² + 2/3*100²) - (290/3)² = 200/9 = 22.222

b) If order to be unfilled demand, you need to have a demand of 110, which happens with probability 1/3. In that case, the value of the variable, lets call it Y, that counts the amount of unfilled demand due to lack of stock is 110-100 = 10. In any other case, the value of Y is 0, which would happen with probability 1-1/3 = 2/3. Thus

P_Y(k) = \left \{ {\frac{2}{3} \, \, \, {k=0} \atop \, \frac{1}{3} \, \, \, {k=10}} \right.

The mean is 2/3 * 0 + 1/3 * 10 = 10/3 = 3.333

The variance is 2/3*0² + 1/3*10² = 100/3 = 33.333
