Answer:

The shape of the distribution of the weights of russet potatoes tends to be symmetrical because the

mean = median

Step-by-step explanation:

Shape of distribution is determined by the number of peaks a distribution has, the presence of symmetry and its ability to be uniform or skewed.

We have various types of shape of distribution

a. Left skewed shape of distribution

b. Right skewed shape of distribution.

c. Symmetrical shape of distribution

d. Bimodal or Uniform shape of distribution.

Symmetrical shape of distribution occurs when the mean and the median of the distribution occur at the same point or area, hence they are same or equal to one another.

Therefore, the shape of the distribution of the weights of russet potatoes tends to be symmetrical because the Mean is equal to the Median because they occur at the same point.

<h3>Explain why it is helpful to know the basic function shapes and discuss some ways to remember them. </h3>

Knowing the basic function shapes and discuss some ways to remember them is helpful because this is useful tools in the creation of mathematical models because we constantly make theories about the relationships between variables in nature and society. Functions in school mathematics are typically defined by an algebraic expression and have numerical inputs and outputs.

Given f(x) = the quantity of 2x minus 2 divided by 4, solve for f−1(3).

spin [16.1K]

Given: f(x)=(2x-2)/4
find f^-1(3)?
we need to find the inverse of f(x), so
x=(2y-2)/4
2y-2=4x
y-1=2x
y=2x+1
so, then f^-1(x)=2x+1
f^-1(3)=2(3)+1
=6+1
=7
so, the answer is 7

2. Use the following picture for this question:

Art [367]

Answer:

a. $24\sqrt{3}$ and 41.6

b. 52.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the left side triangle the blue dotted side is the side "opposite" to the angle given and the side 24 is the side that is "adjacent" to the angle given. The trigonometric ratio tan relates opposite to adjacent. Also, let the blue dotted side be y.

<u>Note:</u> the exact value of tan 60 is $\sqrt{3}$

Thus, we can write $Tan(60)=\frac{y}{24}\\y=24*Tan(60)\\y=24*\sqrt{3} \\y=24\sqrt{3}$

Approximate value (rounded to nearest tenth): $24\sqrt{3} =41.6$

Considering the triangle to the right, the side "opposite" to the angle given (53 degrees) is 41.6 (just found in part (a)) and the side "hypotenuse" (side opposite to 90 degree angle) is x. The trigonometric ratio sine relates opposite and hypotenuse.

Thus we can write and solve:

$Sin(53)=\frac{41.6}{x}\\x=\frac{41.6}{Sin(53)}=52.1$
