A student union cafeteria worker checked the weight of ten half-pound bags of whole bean coffee and recorded the following weigh

ts in pounds: 0.48, 0.51, 0.47, 0.49, 0.49, 0.50, 0.52, 0.48, 0.49, 0.51. What is the standard deviation of the weight of these coffee bags?

Answer: σ = 0.0154

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the mean for the recorded data.

(0.48 + 0.51 + 0.47 + 0.49 + 0.49 + 0.50 + 0.52 + 0.48 + 0.49 + 0.51)/10 =

4.94 / 10 = 0.49

The mean is represented with the greek letter μ, so μ = 0.49

2. For each element in the serie, subtract the mean (0.49) and square the result

(0.48 - 0.49)^2 = (-0.01)^2 = 0.0001

(0.51 - 0.49)^2 = (0.02)^2 = 0.0004

(0.47 - 0.49)^2 = (-0.02)^2 = 0.0004

(0.49 - 0.49)^2 = 0

(0.49 - 0.49)^2 = 0

(0.50 - 0.49)^2 = (0.01)^2 = 0.0001

(0.52 - 0.49)^2 = (0.03)^2 = 0.0009

(0.48 - 0.49)^2 = (-0.01)^2 = 0.0001

(0.49 - 0.49)^2 = 0

(0.51 - 0.49)^2 = (0.02)^2 = 0.0004

So we get these results: 0.0001, 0.0004, 0.0004, 0, 0, 0.0001, 0.0009, 0.0001, 0, 0.0004

3. Now, we calculate the mean of these squared differences

(0.0001 + 0.0004 + 0.0004 + 0 + 0 + 0.0001 + 0.0009 + 0.0001 + 0 + 0.0004) / 10 =

(0.0024) / 10 = 0.00024

4. Now to get the standard deviation, we need to get the root of this last value (0.00024).

√(0.00024) = 0.0154

5. So that will be our standard deviation value:

σ = 0.0154

DONE!

A contractor bought 7.6 ft2 of sheet metal. She has used 3.5 ft2 so far and has ​$123 worth of sheet metal remaining. The equati
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x

cost per square​ foot of sheet metal = $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sheet metal bought = 7.6 ft2

Total sheet metal used = 3.5 ft2

Given equation:

7.6x − 3.5x = 123

Where,

x = cost per square​ foot

7.6x − 3.5x

Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x

7.6x − 3.5x = 123

4.1x = 123

x = 123 / 4.1

x = $30

Cost per square​ foot = $30

four families go to the cinema. the reid family take 2 adults and 2 children for £18 ; the mghee family take 1 senior, 2 adults
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

\pounds 26.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = cost for one adult

y = cost for one child

z = cost for one senior.

<u>The Reid family:</u>

take 2 adults and 2 children and paid 2x+2y that is \pounds 18, so

2x+2y=18

<u>The Mghee family:</u>

take 1 senior, 2 adults and 1 child and paid x+2x+y that is \pounds 18.50, so

x+2x+y=18.50

<u>The Griffiths family:</u>

take 1 senior and 3 adults and paid z+3x that is \pounds 19.50, so

z+3x=19.50

You get the system of three equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x+2y=18\\ \\z+2x+y=18.50\\ \\z+3x=19.50\end{array}\right.

From the first equation:

2y=18-2x\\ \\y=9-x

From the third equation:

z=19.50-3x

Substitute them into the second equation:

19.50-3x+2x+9-x=18.50\\ \\-3x+2x-x=18.50-19.50-9\\ \\-2x=-10\\ \\2x=10\\ \\x=5

Then

y=9-5=4\\ \\z=19.50-3\cdot 5=19.50-15=4.50

Hence,

the cost for one adult is \pounds 5

the cost for one child is \pounds 4

the cost for one senior is \pounds 4.50

<u>The Linton family</u> takes 1 senior, 2 adults and 3 children and paid

\pounds 4.50+2\cdot \pounds 5+3\cdot \pounds 4=\pounds 26.50
