Answer:

a)

X[bar]_A= 71.8cm

X[bar]_B= 72cm

b)

M.A.D._A= 8.16cm

M.A.D._B= 5.4cm

c) The data set for Soil A is more variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The data in the stem-and-leaf plots show the heights in cm of Teddy Bear sunflowers grown in two different types of soil (A and B)

To read the data shown in the plots, remember that the first digit of the number is shown in the stem and the second digit is placed in the leaves.

The two data sets, in this case, are arranged in a "back to back" stem plot, which allows you to compare both distributions. In this type of graph, there is one single stem in the middle, shared by both samples, and the leaves are placed to its left and right of it corresponds to the observations of each one of them.

Since the stem is shared by both samples, there can be observations made only in one of the samples. For example in the first row, the stem value is 5, for the "Soil A" sample there is no leaf, this means that there was no plant of 50 ≤ X < 60 but for "Soil B" there was one observation of 59 cm.

X represents the variable of interest, as said before, the height of the Teddy Bear sunflowers.

a) To calculate the average or mean of a data set you have to add all observations of the sample and divide it by the number of observations:

X[bar]= ∑X/n

For soil A

Observations:

61, 61, 62, 65, 70, 71, 75, 81, 82, 90

The total of observations is n_A= 10

∑X_A= 61 + 61 + 62 + 65 + 70 + 71 + 75 + 81 + 82 + 90= 718

X[bar]_A= ∑X_A/n_A= 218/10= 71.8cm

For Soil B

Observations:

59, 63, 69, 70, 72, 73, 76, 77, 78, 83

The total of observations is n_B= 10

∑X_B= 59 + 63 + 69 + 70 + 72 + 73 + 76 + 77 + 78 + 83= 720

X[bar]_B= ∑X_B/n_B= 720/10= 72cm

b) The mean absolute deviation is the average of the absolute deviations of the sample. It is a summary of the sample's dispersion, meaning the greater its value, the greater the sample dispersion.

To calculate the mean absolute dispersion you have to:

1) Find the mean of the sample (done in the previous item)

2) Calculate the absolute difference of each observation and the sample mean |X-X[bar]|

3) Add all absolute differences

4) Divide the summation by the number of observations (sample size,n)

For Soil A

1) X[bar]_A= 71.8cm

2) Absolute differences |X_A-X[bar]_{A}|

|61-71.8|= 10.8

|61-71.8|= 10.8

|62-71.8|= 9.8

|65-71.8|= 6.8

|70-71.8|= 1.8

|71-71.8|= 0.8

|75-71.8|= 3.2

|81-71.8|= 9.2

|82-71.8|= 10.2

|90-71.8|= 18.2

3) Summation of all absolute differences

∑|X_A-X[bar]_A|= 10.8 + 10.8 + 9.8 + 6.8 + 1.8 + 0.8 + 3.2 + 9.2 + 10.2 + 18.2= 81.6

4) M.A.D._A=∑|X_A-X[bar]_A|/n_A= 81.6/10= 8.16cm

For Soil B

1) X[bar]_B= 72cm

2) Absolute differences |X_B-X[bar]_B|

|59-72|= 13

|63-72|= 9

|69-72|= 3

|70-72|= 2

|72-72|= 0

|73-72|= 1

|76-72|= 4

|77-72|= 5

|78-72|= 6

|83-72|= 11

3) Summation of all absolute differences

∑ |X_B-X[bar]_B|= 13 + 9 + 3 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 11= 54

4) M.A.D._B=∑ |X_B-X[bar]_B|/n_B= 54/10= 5.4cm

c)

If you compare both calculated mean absolute deviations, you can see M.A.D._A > M.A.D._B. As said before, the M.A.D. summary of the sample's dispersion. The greater value obtained for "Soil A" indicates this sample has greater variability.

I hope this helps!

What is the minimum value of the function g(x) = x2 - 6x – 12?<br> -21<br> 3-21<br> 3<br> 3+21
balandron [24]

Answer:

- 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum value occurs at the vertex of the function

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square

Given

f(x) = x² - 6x - 12

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 6x

f(x) = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 - 12

     = (x - 3)² - 21

with vertex = (3, - 21 )

The minimum is the value of k, that is minimum value = - 21

So, you just have to recognize the line splitting the circle in half, line LJ.  So, if JC (arc) is 94, then do 180-94=86.  ∠LJC is an inscribed angle, so it's half of 86, which is 43°.

43° is your answer.
