The following data was collected from 10 visitors to Disneyland. A researcher stood at the entrance gate and interviewed the fir

st 10 families that agreed to participate. Each family was asked, “How many times have you been to Disneyland?” The data values were: 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 7. The average number of visits was calculated and reported.
Calculate the standard deviation of the data values.

Answer:

<u>The standard deviation for the sample of 10 families is 1.68 (Rounding to two decimal places)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The first step to calculate the standard deviation is to find out the mean, this way:

Mean = (1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 7)/10

Mean = 27/10 = 2.7

2. Now we calculate the variance, this way:

Variance = [(1 - 2.7)²+(1 - 2.7)²+(2 - 2.7)²+(2- 2.7)²+(2 - 2.7)²+(2 - 2.7)²+(3- 2.7)²+(3 - 2.7)²+(4 - 2.7)²+(7- 2.7)²]/10

Variance = [2.89 + 2.89 + 0.49 + 0.49 + 0.49 + 0.49 + 0.09 + 0.09 + 1.69 + 18.49]/10

Variance = 28.1/10 = 2.81

3. Finally we calculate the standard deviation, this way:

Variance = Standard deviation²

√Variance = Standard deviation

√2.81 = Standard deviation

<u>Standard deviation = 1.68 (Rounding to two decimal places)</u>

Use the discriminant to predict the nature of the solutions to the equation 4x-3x²=10. Then, solve the equation.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Two imaginary solutions:

x₁= $\frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}$

x₂ = $\frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given a quadratic equation of the form ax² +bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by the formula b² - 4ac.

The discriminant gives us information on how the solutions of the equations will be.

<u>If the discriminant is zero</u>, the equation will have only one solution and it will be real
<u>If the discriminant is greater than zero</u>, then the equation will have two solutions and they both will be real.
<u>If the discriminant is less than zero,</u> then the equation will have two imaginary solutions (in the complex numbers)

So now we will work with the equation given: 4x - 3x² = 10

First we will order the terms to make it look like a quadratic equation ax²+bx + c = 0

So:

4x - 3x² = 10

-3x² + 4x - 10 = 0 will be our equation

with this information we have that a = -3 b = 4 c = -10

And we will find the discriminant: $b^{2} -4ac = 4^{2} -4(-3)(-10) = 16-120=-104$

Therefore our discriminant is less than zero and we know<u> that our equation will have two solutions in the complex numbers. </u>

To proceed to solve the equation we will use the general formula

x₁= (-b+√b²-4ac)/2a

so x₁ = $\frac{-4+\sqrt{-104} }{2(-3)} \\\frac{-4+\sqrt{-104} }{-6}\\\frac{-4+2\sqrt{-26} }{-6} \\\frac{-4+2i\sqrt{26} }{-6} \\\frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}$

The second solution x₂ = (-b-√b²-4ac)/2a

so x₂= $\frac{-4-\sqrt{-104} }{2(-3)} \\\frac{-4-\sqrt{-104} }{-6}\\\frac{-4-2\sqrt{-26} }{-6} \\\frac{-4-2i\sqrt{26} }{-6} \\\frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}$

These are our two solutions in the imaginary numbers.

ANSWER

$Area = 2\sqrt{3} \: {cm}^{2}$

EXPLANATION

We need to use the Pythagoras Theorem to find the height of the triangle.

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

$({2 \sqrt{3}) }^{2} + {b}^{2} = {4}^{2}$

$12 + {b}^{2} = 16$

${b}^{2} = 16 - 12$

${b}^{2} = 4$

Take positive square root to get;

$b = \sqrt{4} = 2$

Area =½bh

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 2\sqrt{3} \times 2$

$Area = 2\sqrt{3} \: {cm}^{2}$
