Jamie made 8 1/4 cups of fruit punch for a party. Her guests drank 2/3 of the punch. How many fruit punch did her guests drink?

A 12 foot ladder is leaning up against a wall. If the angel made between the ladder and the ground is 80 degrees. How far up can

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of the ladder = 12foot

angle of elevation = 80 degrees

Required

Height of the wall (opposite side)

The set up will form a right angled triangle where

length of the ladder is the hypotenuse

height of the wall is opposite;

Using SOH, CAH, TOA trig identity

According to SOH

sin 80 = opp/hyp

sin80 = opp/12

opp = 12sin80

opp = 11.82 feet

Hence the height of the wall is 11.8feet (to the nearest tenth)

Common measures of variation

Variance

S²= $\frac{1}{n-1}[sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} ]$

∑X= 20 + 18 + 23 + 30 + 20 + 12 + 24 + 9 + 25 + 15 + 8 + 11 + 15 + 34

∑X= 264

∑X²= 20² + 18² + 23² + 30² + 20² + 12² + 24² + 9² + 25² + 15² + 8² + 11² + 15² + 34²

∑X²= 5770

n= 14

S²= $\frac{1}{13}[5770-\frac{(264)^2}{14} ]$

S²= 60.90

Standard deviation

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance

S= √S²= √60.90= 7.80

Coefficient of variation

Is a relative standard deviation, it is defined as the division of the standard deviation (S) by the mean (X[bar)]. It has not units and is usually expressed in percentage. It shows the variability in relation to the mean.

C.V.= $\frac{S}{X[bar]}$ *100 = $\frac{7.80}{18.86}$ *100= 41.36%

The mean or average is a measurement of position and gives you an idea of the central value of the distribution of the data.

X[bar]= ∑X/n= 264/14= 18.86

Range

In the interval between the max and min values. It allows you to have an idea of the dispersion of the values.

R= Xmax - Xmin= 34 - 8= 26

Xmax= 34

Xmin= 8

Inter Quartile Range

Is the difference between Quantile 1 (C₁) and Quantile 3 (C₃). It shows the 50% mid values of the sample.

IQR= C₃ - C₁= 23.5 - 11.5 = 12

Quantile 1 (C₁) is the value that leaves 25% of the sample below and 75% of the sample above.

Pos1: n/4= 14/4= 3.5

The first quantile is the number between position 3 and position 4

8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 15, 18, 20, 20, 23, 24, 25, 30, 34

C₁= (11+12)/2= 11.5

Quantile 3 (C₃) is the value that leaves 75% of the sample below and 25% of the sample above.

Pos3: n*3/4= 14*3/4= 10.5

The third Quantile is between position 10 and 11

8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 15, 18, 20, 20, 23, 24, 25, 30, 34

C₃= (23+24)/2= 23.5

The measurements of variation don't allow you to know the origin of the data, that it is from consecutive years.

I hope it helps!

A library subscribes to two different weekly news magazines, each of which is supposed to arrive in Wednesday�s mail. In actuali

Softa [21]

Answer:

P(Y = 0) = 0.09

P(Y = 1) = 0.4

P(Y = 2) = 0.32

P(Y = 3) = 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the events be:

$W =$ Wednesday

$T =$ Thursday

$F =$ Friday

$S =$ Saturday

Their corresponding probabilities are

$P(W) = 0.3\\P(T) = 0.4\\P(F) = 0.2\\P(S) = 0.1$

Since $Y$ = number of days beyond Wednesday that it takes for both magazines to arrive(so possible $Y$ values are 0, 1, 2 or 3)

The possible number of outcomes are therefore $4^2 = 16\\(W, W), (W, T), (W, F), (W, S)\\(T, W), (T, T), (T, F), (T, S)\\(F, W), (F, T), (F, F), (F, S)\\(S, W), (S, T), (S, F), (S, S)$

The values associated for each of the outcomes are as follows:

$Y(W, W) = 0, Y(W, T) = 1, Y(W, F) = 2, Y(W, S) = 3\\Y(T, W) = 1, Y(T, T) = 1, Y(T, F) = 2, Y(T, S) = 3\\Y(F, W) = 2, Y(F, T) = 2, Y(F, F) = 2, Y(F, S) = 3\\Y(S, W) = 3, Y(S, T) = 3, Y(S, F) = 3, Y(S, S) = 3$

The probability mass function of $Y$ is,

$P(Y = 0) = 0.3(0.3) = 0.09\\P(Y = 1) = P[(W, T) or (T, W) or (T, T)]\\= [0.3(0.4) + 0.3(0.4) + 0.4(0.4)]\\= 0.4\\\\P(Y = 2) = P[(W, F) or (T, F) or (F, W) or (F, T) or (F, F)]\\= [0.3(0.2) + 0.4(0.2) + 0.2(0.3) + 0.2(0.4) + 0.2(0.2)]\\= 0.32\\\\P(Y = 3) = P[(W, S) or (T, S) or (F, S) or (S, W) or (S, T) or (S, F) or (S, S)]\\= [0.3(0.1) + 0.4(0.1) + 0.2(0.1) + 0.1(0.3) 0.1(0.4) + 0.1(0.2) + 0.1(0.1)]\\= 0.19$

Hello, can someone help me with these ones pls? I need it ASAP Find the slope of the line in each figure. If the slope of the li

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

slope: -3

equation: y = -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is "the amount of change in the y direction when you take one step to the right".

In the first graph you can see that (0,0) and (1,-3) are on the graph. So when you step from x=0 to x=1, the graph moves 3 units down. Hence the slope is -3. The minus sign means down.

Sometimes it is difficult to see the change in the y direction when only taking 1 step to the right. That's no problem, if you take e.g., 4 steps to the right, you have to divide the y change that you found by 4.

Written in a formula it is dy/dx, a.k.a: the y change divided by the x change.

So that takes care of the slope.

In a general formula for a line y = ax + b, the slope is the letter a.

b is used to move the graph up and down. The first graph moves through (0,0) so no b needed, hence the equation y = -3x.

If b would be, say, 5, the graph would be lifted up by 5. In fact, the point (0,b) will be the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. So you find b by finding the intersection with the y axis. x must be 0 at this point.

With this approach you can solve all assignments easily.
