The histogram shows the weights, in pounds, of checked luggage on a flight. The median weight of a checked bag is 27.5 pounds. H

ow does the mean of the data most likely compare to the median? The mean is most likely less than 27 pounds. The mean is most likely exactly 27.5 pounds. The mean is most likely about 28 pounds. The mean is most likely more than 28 pounds.

Answer: C, the mean is most likely about 28 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation: The mean of a data set is the average value. When looking at this histogram, you can determine how many bags were checked in  total by adding up the frequencies for each weight.

<u>Add the Weights </u>

1+16(4)+20(5)+24(6)+28(5)+32(4)+36(3)+40+48+52+56+60

**16(4)=64. The number in parenthesis represents how many times each weight occurred in the data set. To make it easier, you can combine some of these instead of typing the extended equation into your calculator.

12+64+100+144+140+128+108+208= 904

<u>Solve for the Mean</u>

<u></u>

To do this, divide 904 by the number of bags checked (32).

Mean: 28.25

**The answer is MORE than 28, but it would round down because the decimal is less than half.

Hope this helps,

LaciaMelodii :)

One year Perry had the lowest ERA​ (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings​ pitched) of any male pitch
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

z score Perry z=-1.402

z score Alice z=-1.722

Alice had better year in comparison with Perry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

One year Perry had the lowest ERA​ of any male pitcher at his​ school, with an ERA of 3.02. For the​ males, the mean ERA was 4.206 and the standard deviation was 0.846.

To find z score use the formula.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Here μ=4.206 and σ=0.846

z=\frac{3.02-4.206}{0.846}

z=\frac{-1.186}{0.846}

z=-1.402

Alice had the lowest ERA of any female pitcher at the school with an ERA of 3.16. For the​ females, the mean ERA was 4.519 and the standard deviation was 0.789.

Find the z score

where μ=4.519 and σ=0.789

z=\frac{3.16-4.519 }{0.789}

z=\frac{-1.359}{0.789}

z=-1.722

The Perry had an ERA with a z-score is –1.402. The Alice had an ERA with a z-score is –1.722.

It is clear that the z-score value for Perry is greater than the z-score value for Alice. This indicates that Alice had better year in comparison with Perry.

Two teams are distributing information booklets. Team A distributes 60% more boxes of booklets than Team B, but each box of Team
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

  C.  4,100

Step-by-step explanation:

"60% more" is represented by a multiplier of 1 + 0.60 = 1.60.

"60% fewer" is represented by a multiplier of 1 - 0.60 = 0.40.

__

Let b represent the number of booklets distributed by Team B. Then the number distributed by Team A is ...

  1.60 × (0.40b) . . . . 60% more boxes, each with 60% fewer booklets

  = 0.64b

Then the total distributed by both teams is ...

  b + 0.64b = 1.64b = (164/100)b = (41/25)b

The only answer choice that is a multiple of 41 is ...

  4,100 . . . choice C

__

For 4100 to be the number of booklets distributed by both teams, Team B will have distributed 2500 booklets, and Team A will have distributed 1600 booklets. Team A might have distributed 160 boxes of 100 booklets, while Team B might have distributed 100 boxes of 250 booklets.
