Answer:

Mean is 81%

standard deviation is approximately 4.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of boys equals the number of girls, but it is not given, we name it "N". and proceed to calculate the mean as:

Mean = (0.78 * N + 0.84 * N) /(2 N)

using that the total number of students must be N boys + N girls = 2 N

Then the Mean becomes: N *(0.78 + 0.84) /(2 N) = (0.78 + 0.84) / 2 = 1.62 / 2 = 0.81

So the mean is 81%

Now, standard deviation will be calculated by first adding the squares of the deviations: (X-0.81)^2 for the N boys and for the N girls, and then finding the square root of this and finally dividing by the square root of N. That is:

N\,(0.78-0.81)^2\,+\,N\,(0.84-0.81)^2= N \left \{ (-0.03)^2+(0/03)^2\right \}=N\,*0.0018

Now finding the square root of this value, and finally dividing it by the square root of N:

\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{N\,*\,0.0018} }{\sqrt{N} } =\sqrt{0.0018} \approx 0.042426

which in percent form is: approximately 4.2%

Serhud [2]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs are attached.

First of all, the day proposal goes out, 25 people know, so the initial condition is y = 25 at x = 0.

Hence, graph would start at y = 25.

Looking at the graphs, we can eliminate B and D immediately because they start at 50.

Now, it says every day, this number (y) triples, so 1 day after, it would be:

25 * 3 = 75

So, the graph would show x = 1 and y = 75

We can eliminate "C" as it doesn't show 75 at x = 1.

And we look at A and it is correct.

So,

A is the graph of the situation represented.

I REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE A twelve-pack of Orange Crush is priced at $3.00. A six-pack is priced at $1.75. Which is the better v
insens350 [35]

Answer:

A. The twelve-pack is better because each soda cost $0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

12 x 0.25 = $3.00 which is only like a buck and 25 cents more for 6 more orange juices.

In the market, you would buy the 12 pack because $1.25 is less than 6 more orange crushes. Also, it's a solid deal and the rate is not pricey! :)
