Answer:

(A) 15 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

A midsegment of a triangle is always 2 things:

Half the size of the bottom of the triangle (in this case AC)

Parallel to the bottom of the triangle.

Since ABC is an equilateral triangle, we know that EVERY side is 30cm, including AC.

So the midsegment of ABC, LM, must be 15 cm.

Hope this helped!

Two soccer teams play 8 games in their season. The number of goals each team scored per game is listed below: Team X: 11, 3, 0,

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

C. Team Y’s scores have a lower mean value.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Two soccer teams play 8 games in their season. The number of goals each team scored per game is listed below:

Team X: 11, 3, 0, 0, 2, 0, 6, 4

Team Y: 4, 2, 0, 3, 2, 1, 6, 4

Firstly, we will calculate the mean, median, range and inter-quartile range for Team X;

Mean of Team X data is given by the following formula;

Mean, $\bar X$ = $\frac{\sum X}{n}$

= $\frac{11+ 3+ 0+ 0+ 2+ 0+ 6+ 4}{8}$ = $\frac{26}{8}$ = 3.25

So, the mean of Team X's scores is 3.25.

Now, for calculating the median; we have to arrange the data in ascending order and then observe that the number of observations (n) in the data is even or odd.

Team X: 0, 0, 0, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11

If n is odd, then the formula for calculating median is given by;

Median = $(\frac{n+1}{2} )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

If n is even, then the formula for calculating median is given by;

Median = $\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} \text{ obs.} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} \text{ obs.} }{2}$

Here, the number of observations is even, i.e. n = 8.

So, Median = $\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} \text{ obs.} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} \text{ obs.} }{2}$

= $\frac{(\frac{8}{2})^{th} \text{ obs.} +(\frac{8}{2}+1)^{th} \text{ obs.} }{2}$

= $\frac{(4)^{th} \text{ obs.} +(5)^{th} \text{ obs.} }{2}$

= $\frac{2+3}{2}$ = 2.5

So, the median of Team X's score is 2.5.

Now, the range is calculated as the difference between the highest and the lowest value in our data.

Range = Highest value - Lowest value

= 11 - 0 = 11

So, the range of Team X's score is 11.

Now, the inter-quartile range of the data is given by;

Inter-quartile range = $Q_3-Q_1$

$Q_1=(\frac{n+1}{4} )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

= $(\frac{8+1}{4} )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

= $(2.25 )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

$Q_1 = 2^{nd} \text{ obs.} + 0.25[ 3^{rd} \text{ obs.} -2^{nd} \text{ obs.} ]$

= 0 + 0.25[0 - 0] = 0

$Q_3=3(\frac{n+1}{4} )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

= $3(\frac{8+1}{4} )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

= $(6.75 )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

$Q_3 = 6^{th} \text{ obs.} + 0.75[ 7^{th} \text{ obs.} -6^{th} \text{ obs.} ]$

= 4 + 0.75[6 - 4] = 5.5

So, the inter-quartile range of Team X's score is (5.5 - 0) = 5.5.

<u>Now, we will calculate the mean, median, range and inter-quartile range for Team Y;</u>

Mean of Team Y data is given by the following formula;

Mean, $\bar Y$ = $\frac{\sum Y}{n}$

= $\frac{4+ 2+ 0+ 3+ 2+ 1+ 6+ 4}{8}$ = $\frac{22}{8}$ = 2.75

So, the mean of Team Y's scores is 2.75.

Now, for calculating the median; we have to arrange the data in ascending order and then observe that the number of observations (n) in the data is even or odd.

Team Y: 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6

If n is odd, then the formula for calculating median is given by;

Median = $(\frac{n+1}{2} )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

If n is even, then the formula for calculating median is given by;

Median = $\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} \text{ obs.} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} \text{ obs.} }{2}$

Here, the number of observations is even, i.e. n = 8.

So, Median = $\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} \text{ obs.} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} \text{ obs.} }{2}$

= $\frac{(\frac{8}{2})^{th} \text{ obs.} +(\frac{8}{2}+1)^{th} \text{ obs.} }{2}$

= $\frac{(4)^{th} \text{ obs.} +(5)^{th} \text{ obs.} }{2}$

= $\frac{2+3}{2}$ = 2.5

So, the median of Team Y's score is 2.5.

Now, the range is calculated as the difference between the highest and the lowest value in our data.

Range = Highest value - Lowest value

= 6 - 0 = 6

So, the range of Team Y's score is 6.

Now, the inter-quartile range of the data is given by;

Inter-quartile range = $Q_3-Q_1$

$Q_1=(\frac{n+1}{4} )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

= $(\frac{8+1}{4} )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

= $(2.25 )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

$Q_1 = 2^{nd} \text{ obs.} + 0.25[ 3^{rd} \text{ obs.} -2^{nd} \text{ obs.} ]$

= 1 + 0.25[2 - 1] = 1.25

$Q_3=3(\frac{n+1}{4} )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

= $3(\frac{8+1}{4} )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

= $(6.75 )^{th} \text{ obs.}$

$Q_3 = 6^{th} \text{ obs.} + 0.75[ 7^{th} \text{ obs.} -6^{th} \text{ obs.} ]$

= 4 + 0.75[4 - 4] = 4

So, the inter-quartile range of Team Y's score is (4 - 1.25) = 2.75.

Hence, the correct statement is:

C. Team Y’s scores have a lower mean value.

I NEED HELP PLEASE. LOOK AT PICTURE

Bond [772]

Answer:

Part 1) $\frac{a^4}{4b^2}$

Part 2) $-\frac{v^9}{w^6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When divide exponents (or powers) with the same base, subtract the exponents

Part 1) we have

$\frac{3a^{2}b^{-4}}{12a^{-2}b^{-2}}=(\frac{3}{12})(a^{2+2})(b^{-4+2} )=\frac{1}{4}a^{4}b^{-2}=\frac{a^4}{4b^2}$

Part 2) we have

$\frac{v^3w^{-3}}{-v^{-6} w^3} =-v^{3+6}w^{-3-3}=-v^9w^{-6}=-\frac{v^9}{w^6}$
