Suppose you are determining the growth rate of two species of plants. Species A is 25 cm tall and grows 3 cm per month. Species

jarptica [38.1K]

If the growth rate is a constant, we can model it using a linear equation:

y = b + ax

where b = initial value, a = growth rate.
In this case, x = m = number of months.

Let's find the equation for the growth of each species.

Species A:
Initial height = b = 25 cm
Growth rate = a = 3 cm per month
So its height can be modeled by H(m) = 25 + 3m

Species B:
Initial height = b = 10 cm
Growth rate = a = 8 cm per month
So its height can be modeled by H(m) = 10 + 8m

Thus the answer is A: H(m) = 25 + 3m and B: H(m) = 10 + 8m.

Given the box plot, will the mean or the median provide a better description of the center? box plot with min at 11, Q1 at 22. 5

Slav-nsk [51]

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right.

Given that

The box plot with the following parameters:

Minimum value at 11,

First Quartile, Q1 at 22.5,

Median at 34.5,

Third Quartile, Q3 at 36,

Maximum value at 37.5.

According to the question

When a distribution has a longer tail to one of its sides, then it is said to be skewed.

Since the tail is longer to the left, it is said to be left-skewed.

The data distribution is skewed to the left because the median (34.5) is closer to the third quartile (36) than to the first quartile (22.5).

For skewed data, we always prefer the median because it is less affected by the outliers and if the mean is chosen, the value of the mean is biased towards the side that has larger values while the median does not get affected by it. So, we choose the median.

For skewed distributions, the median is the best measure of center.

Hence, the median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

$\pi$ is pi, or 3.14159

The absolute value of -4 ( |-4| ) is 4.

These numbers should go in this order:

-10 < 0.121212... < $\pi$ < |-4| < $5\frac{1}{2}$

Have a good day!

Percentage grade averages were taken across all disciplines at a particular university, and the mean average was found to be 83.

Paha777 [63]

Correct Answer:
Option A. 0.01

Solution:
This is a problem of statistics and uses the concept of normal distributions. We need to convert the score of 90 into z-score and then find the desired probability from standard normal distribution table.

Converting 90 to z-score:

$z= \frac{90-83.6}{ \frac{8.7}{ \sqrt{10}} }=2.33$

Now we are to find the probability of z score being more than 2.33. From the z-table the probability comes out to be 0.01.

Therefore, we can conclude that the probability of class average is greater than 90 is 0.01.
