Answer:

Option b is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a data set about minutes spent on doing homework the previous night by 14 seniors.

To find the median of data set, first of all we will arrange our data values from least to greatest order.  

62, 64, 65, 68, 69, 71, 73, 74, 75, 81, 87, 87, 89, 101.

Since our data set has an even number (14) of data points, therefore, median will be the average of middle two points, that is 7th and 8th term.

\text{Median}=\frac{\text{7th term + 8th term}}{2}

\text{Median}=\frac{73+74}{2}

\text{Median}=\frac{147}{2}

\text{Median}=73.5

Therefore, median of our given data set is 73.5.

Since median of a data set separates the higher half from the lower half of a data sample. So about half of the students spent less than 73.5 minutes doing homework and about half spent more than 73.5 minutes on homework.

Therefore, option b is the correct choice.

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the median of:-

73 75 87 65 69 62 81 64 68 101 74 71 89 87

First, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order as below:-

62, 64, 65, 68, 69, 71, 73, 74, 75, 81, 87, 87, 89, 101

Since there are a total of 14 numbers, let's split it up into two halves (each of seven numbers)

62, 64, 65, 68, 69, 71, 73           |||             74, 75, 81, 87, 87, 89, 101

The median would be the mean of the two middle numbers i.e. the mean of 73 and 74

Median = \frac{73+74}{2}

= \frac{147}{2}

= 73.5

So, about half of the students spent less than 73.5 minutes doing homework and about half spent more than 73.5 minutes on homework

100 POINTS, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! If h(x) = f[f(x)] use the table of values for f and f ′ to find the value of h ′(1).
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The value of h^\prime(1)=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  h(x)=f(f(x))

now to find h(x)=f(f(x)) from the given functions f(x) and f'x

let h(x)=f(f(x))

Then put x=1 in above function we get

h(1)=f(f(1))

=f(3) (from the table f(1)=3 and f(3)=6)

Therefore h(1)=6

Now to find h'(1)

Let

h^{\prime}(x)=f^{\prime}(f^\prime(x)) (since  h(x)=f(f(x)) )

put x=1 in above function we get

h^{\prime}(1)=f^{\prime}(f^\prime(1))

=f^{\prime}(2)    (From the table f^\prime(1)=2 and f^\prime(2)=5)

h^{\prime}(1)=5

Therefore h^{\prime}(1)=5

Helllllppppp please????
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

7.75

Step-by-step explanation:

(I'm assuming you need to find the missing side of the triangle)

To find missing values in a right angle. we will use the pythagoras theorem which states that:

h^2 = a^2 + b^2

16^2 = 14^2 + b^2

256 = 196 + b^2

256 - 196 = b^2

60 = b^2 (take sqaure root)

b= 7.75

A couple has 2 children. what is the probability that both are girls if the older of the two is a girl?
12345 [234]
Assuming that the probability of boys and girls is equal (in reality slightly more boys than girls are born), the probability is 1/2, simply because the older girl's gender is given and therefore not a part of the probability.

This question comes from the 'boy or girl paradox', a.k.a. the Mrs Smith Problem.
