Answer:

D. I and III only

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of first fie defects are given as 9,7,10,4 and 6.

First we have to arrange the above data in ascending order which is 4,6,7,9,10

  • Now if we consider the defect in sixth car to be 3 then our data will look like:    3,4,6,7,9,10

So the mean of above data would be \frac{3+4+6+7+9+10}{6} = 6.5

and Median of the above data would be = \frac{3^{rd} obs + 4^{th}  obs}{2} = \frac{6+7}{2} = 6.5

Hence mean and median number of defects are same if the sixth car has 3 defects.

  • Now if we consider the defect in sixth car to be 12 then our data will look like:    4,6,7,9,10,12

So the mean of above data would be \frac{4+6+7+9+10+12}{6} = 8

and Median of the above data would be = \frac{3^{rd} obs + 4^{th}  obs}{2} = \frac{7+9}{2} = 8

Hence mean and median number of defects are same if the sixth car has 12 defects.

  • But Now if we consider the defect in sixth car to be 7 then our data will look like:    4,6,7,7,9,10        

So the mean of above data would be \frac{4+6+7+7+9+10}{6} = 7.167    

and Median of the above data would be =  \frac{3^{rd} obs + 4^{th}  obs}{2} = 7

   Hence mean and median number of defects are not same if the sixth car has 7 defects.      

Therefore option D is correct.

Find the percentage of vacationers from<br> question 10 who spent between $1500<br> and $2000.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The percentage change of vacationers is 33.3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The old value of the vacationers = $ 1500

The new value of the vacationers = $ 2000

Let the percentage variation = x %

Or, x % increase = \dfrac{\tyextrm new value - \textrm old value}{\textrm old value} × 100

Or,  x % increase = \dfrac{\tyextrm $ 2000 - \textrm $ 1500}{\textrm $ 1500} × 100

Or, x % increase = \frac{500}{1500} × 100

Or, x % increase = \frac{1}{3} × 100

Or, x % increase = \frac{100}{3}

∴  x  = 33.3 %

So, The percentage increase change is 33.3 %

Hence The percentage change of vacationers is 33.3 %   Answer

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent of increase can be calculated using following formula:

\text{Percent Increase}=\dfrac{\text{Final Amount-Initial Amount}}{\text{Initial Amount}}\cdot 100\%.

In your case,

  • Initial amount = 12 students;
  • Final amount = 15 students,

then

\text{Percent Increase}=\dfrac{15-12}{12}\cdot 100\%=\dfrac{3}{12}\cdot 100\%=\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot 100\%=25\%.
