Answer:
1. Median = 10.1
2. A. The median represents the center.
3. D. The mode(s) can't represent the center because it (they) is(are) not a data value.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean of a sample = sum of the samples/no of the samples
Samples in increasing order:
9.8
9.8
9.9
10.1
10.4
10.6
11.1
Mode is the sample with highest frequency. 
Median is the middle entry of the data.
Mean = (9.8 + 9.8 + 9.9 + 10.1 + 10.4 + 10.6 + 11.1)/7
= 717/7
= 10.243
Median = 10.1
Mode = 9.8 because it has the highest frequency of 2
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
( $74.623, $83.777)
The 90% confidence interval is = ( $74.623, $83.777)
Critical value at 90% confidence = 1.645
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.
The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.
x+/-zr/√n
Given that;
Mean x = $79.20
Standard deviation r = $10.41
Number of samples n = 14
Confidence interval = 90%
Using the z table;
The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.
z(α=0.05) = 1.645
Critical value at 90% confidence z = 1.645
Substituting the values we have;
$79.20+/-1.645($10.42/√14)
$79.20+/-1.645($2.782189528308)
$79.20+/-$4.576701774067
$79.20+/-$4.577
( $74.623, $83.777)
The 90% confidence interval is = ( $74.623, $83.777)
 
        
             
        
        
        
<h2>1)</h2>

This must be true for some value of x, since we have a quantity squared yielding a positive number, and since the equation is of second degree,there must exist 2 real roots.

<h2>2)</h2>
Well he started off correct to the point of completing the square.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
-------------------------
Given:

---------->>>>
Combine like terms.

---------->>>>
Add 12 to both sides.

---------->>>>
Divide both sides by 9.
