Answer:

The data are at the   <u>Nominal</u>   level of measurement.

The given calculation is wrong because average (mean) cannot be calculated for nominal level of measurement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective here is to Identify the level of measurement of the​ data, and explain what is wrong with the given calculation.

a)

The data are at the <u> Nominal  </u>  level of measurement due to the fact that it portrays the qualitative levels of naming and representing different hierarchies  from 100 basketball, 200 basketball, 300 football, 400 anything else

b) We are being informed that, the average​ (mean) is calculated for 597 respondents and the result is 256.1.

The given calculation is wrong because average (mean) cannot be calculated for nominal level of measurement. At nominal level this type of data set do not measure at all , it is not significant to compute their average​ (mean).

A = L * W
A / L = W <==

when A = 42 and W = 16.8
A / L = W
42/16.8 = W
2.5 = W <=== width = 2.5 inches

The area of this square
ANEK [815]

It appears as if 12cm is half the length of the side so we can assume that the total length of one side is 24cm.


The area of a square is given by the equation A=s^{2} where s is the length of the side.  

A=24^{2}

A=576


The area of this square is 576cm2.


Hope this helps!

Determine the value of x and y in the following systems of equations5x-2y=4 ; -2x+y=2.
V125BC [204]

Answer:(x,y)=(8,18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x-2y=4-------1

Second Equation

-2x+y=2-----2

Now multiply equation 2 by 2 and it to equation 1

5x-4x+0=8

x=8

substitute it in equation 1

5\times 8-2\times y=4

36=2y

y=18

Therefore

(x,y)=(8,18)

1. What are the solutions (coordinate points) to the system of equations?
Leto [7]

Question 1

The given system of equations is:

y =  {x}^{2}  + 5x + 6 \\ y = 3x + 6

Equate the two equations:

{x}^{2}  + 5x + 6 = 3x + 6

Rewrite in standard form:

{x}^{2}  + 5x - 3x + 6 - 6 = 0

{x}^{2}   + 2x = 0

x(x + 2) = 0

x = 0 \: or \: x =  - 2

When we put x=0, in y=3x +6, we get:

y = 3(0) + 6 = 6

One solution is (0,6)

When we put x=-2, into y=3x+6, we get:

y = 3( - 2) + 6 = 0

Another solution is (-2,0)

The solutions are; (0,6) and (-2,0)

Question 2:

The function is

f(x) =  {x}^{6}  -  {x}^{4}

Let us put x=-x,

f( - x) =  {( - x)}^{6}  -  {( - x)}^{4}

This gives:

f( - x) =  {x}^{6}  -  {x}^{4}

We can observe that:

f(x) = f( - x)

This is the property of an even function.

Question 3:

The given function is

f(x) =  {x}^{2}  + 3x - 2

The average rate of change of f(x) from x=a to x=b is given as:

\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

This is the slope of the secant line connecting the two points on f(x)

From x=2 to x=6, the average rate of change

=  \frac{f(6) - f(2)}{6 - 2} \\   =  \frac{ {6}^{2}  + 3 \times 6 -  2 -  {2}^{2}   -  3 \times 2  + 2 }{4} \\   =  \frac{36 + 18 - 4  - 6}{4}  \\  =  \frac{44}{4}   \\ = 11

The average rate of change is 11
