Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Mr. Molesky observes a group of monkeys for 24 hours to learn about their behavior. He records how long they slept (in hours), how many bananas they ate, gender, age (in years), and the specific breed of monkey.

(a) What are the individuals in this data set?

(b) Identify the variables that were recorded, and indicate whether each one is categorical or quantitative?

Solution:

(a)

The term "individuals", in statistics, implies or denotes the objects or people included in a statistical study.

In this case it is provided that Mr. Molesky observes a group of monkeys for 24 hours to learn about their behavior.

So, the "individuals" in this data set are the monkeys.

(b)

Categorical variables belong to a certain category or label values. Such as gender of a person, state from which a person is from, color of the marble and so on.

Quantitative variables are those variables that assume numerical values and represent some sort of measurement. Such as height, weight, annual income of the people working at the same place and so on.

In this case the variables are:

Number of bananas the monkeys ate - Quantitative variable

Gender - Categorical variable

Age (in years) -  Quantitative variable

Specific breed of monkey - Categorical variable

the ratio of sallys height is 7:8. if the sum of their heights is 90 inches. how tall are sally and jack?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Sally is 42 in. tall, and Jack is 48 in. tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are some words missing in the problem.

Perhaps the problem was meant to read:

"The ratio of Sally's height to Jack's height is 7:8. If the sum of their heights is 90 inches, how tall are Sally and Jack?"

Solution:

The ratio of the heights is 7:8.

Sally could measure 7 inches and Jack 8 inches, but then when you add the heights, 7 in. + 8 in. = 15 in. which is not 90 inches.

If you multiply both numbers in a ratio by the same number, the new numbers are still in the same ratio.

Multiply 7 and 8 by 2. You get 14 and 16. Maybe Sally is 14 in. tall and Jack is 16 in. tall. Add the heights, 14 in. + 16 in. = 30 in. This is also not 90 in.

We can keep on guessing what number to multiply by 7 and 8 by so their sum is 90, but we can use algebra to write an equation and not have to go through many guesses.

There is a number, x, that when you multiply 7 and 8 by x, the sum of the products is 90. We don't know what x is, but we can write an equation and solve for x.

The numbers in the ratio are 7x and 8x.

7x and 8x are still in the ratio 7:8.

Now we add the numbers 7x and 8x and set the sum equal to 90. Then we solve for x.

7x + 8x = 90

15x = 90

x = 6

We get x = 6. Now we know we need to multiply both 7 and 8 by 6 to get the heights we need.

7 in. * 6 = 42 in.

8 in. * 6 = 48 in.

Check: 42 in. + 48 in. = 90 in.

Answer: Sally is 42 in. tall, and Jack is 48 in. tall.
