The back-to-back stem-and-leaf plot below show exam scores from two different math classes. Which class has a greater mean score

? Which class has a greater median score?
Class A                 Class B
1 5                4           2
1 6 8             5           4
5 7 7 9          6          1 6
6 6 7 8 9       7          2 5 6 6
1 2                8          0 0 4 8 9
1                   9          3 5 6 7


A. greater mean = class A greater median = class A

Answer:

B. greater mean = class B greater median = class B

Step-by-step explanation:

Stem and Leaf Plots : It is a special table where each data value is split into a stem (the first digit or digits) and a leaf (usually the last digit).

So, in the given plot for class A

The first stem 4 has leafs = 1,5

The numbers will be 41,45

The second stem 5 has leafs = 1,6,8

The numbers will be 51,56,58

The third stem 6 has leafs = 5,7,7,9

The numbers will be 65,67,67,69

The fourth stem 7 has leafs = 6,6,7,8,9

The numbers will be 76,76,77,78,79

The fifth stem 8 has leafs = 1,2

The numbers will be 81,82

The sixth stem 9 has leafs = 1

The number will be 91

So, The data of class A = 41,45,51,56,58,65,67,67,69,76,76,77,78,79,81,82,91

Thus MEAN of class A = Sum of all scores scored by students /  Total No of students whose marks are given

⇒\frac{41+45+51+56+58+65+67+67+69+76+76+77+78+79+81+82+91}{17}

\frac{1159}{17}

68.17

Thus mean of class A = 68.17

Median =The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers.

Since 9th term is the middle value .

So, MEDIAN of class A = 69

The given plot for CLASS B :

The first stem 4 has leafs = 2

The numbers will be 42

The second stem 5 has leafs = 4

The numbers will be 54

The third stem 6 has leafs = 1,6

The numbers will be 61,66

The fourth stem 7 has leafs = 2,5,6,6

The numbers will be 72,75,76,76

The fifth stem 8 has leafs = 0,0,4,8,9

The numbers will be 80,80,84,88,89

The sixth stem 9 has leafs = 3,5,6,7

The number will be 93,95,96,97

So, The data of class B = 42,54,61,66,72,75,76,76,80,80,84,88,89,93,95,96,97

Mean of class B = \frac{42+54+61+66+72+75+76+76+80+80+84+88+89+93+95+96+97}{17}

⇒\frac{1324}{17}

⇒ 77.88

Thus mean of class B is 77.88

Median of class B = 9th term = 80

Hence , mean of class A = 68.17 and median of class A = 69

Mean of class B = 77.88 and median of class B  = 80

Thus Option B is correct .

Greater mean = class B

Greater median = class B

The half-life of Radium-226 is 1590 years. If a sample contains 200 mg, how many mg will remain after 1000 years?
adell [148]

Answer: 129.33 g

Step-by-step explanation:

$$Let $p=A \cdot e^{n t}$ \\$(p=$ present amount, $A=$ initial amount, $n=$ decay rate, $t=$ time)

\begin{aligned}&\Rightarrow \text { Given } p=\frac{A}{2} \ a t  \ t=1590 \\&\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=e^{1590n} \Rightarrow n=\frac{\ln (1 / 2)}{1590}=-0.00043594162\end{aligned}

$$If $A=200 \mathrm{mg}$ and $t=1000$ then,$$\begin{aligned}P &=200 e^{\left(\frac{\ln \left(1/2\right)}{1590}\right) \cdot 1000} \text \\\\&=129.33 \text { grams}\end{aligned}$$
