One year Ron had the lowest ERA (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings pitched)

Mathematics

Arada [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Ron's ERA has a z-score of -2.03.

Karla's ERA has a z-score of -1.86.

Due to the lower z-score, Ron had a better yean than Karla relative to their peers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Since the lower the ERA, the better the pitcher, whoever's ERA has the lower z-score had the better year relative to their peers.

Ron

ERA of 3.06, so X = 3.06

For the males, the mean ERA was 5.086 and the standard deviation was 0.998. This means that \mu = 5.086, \sigma = 0.998

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{3.06 - 5.086}{0.998}

Z = -2.03

Ron's ERA has a z-score of -2.03.

Karla

ERA of 3.28, so X = 3.28

For  the females, the mean ERA was 4.316 and the standard deviation was 0.558. This means that \mu = 4.316, \sigma = 0.558

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{3.28 - 4.316}{0.558}

Z = -1.86

Karla's ERA has a z-score of -1.86.

Which player had the better year relative to their peers, Ron or Karla?

Due to the lower z-score, Ron had a better yean than Karla relative to their peers.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (12,-8) and (-9,-11)
Sauron [17]
Answer: 1/7


Explanation:

1. Use the formula, y2-y1/x2-x1
Plug in the points, (12, -8) and (-9, -11) into the formula.
Point (12, -8): 12 is the X1 and -8 is the y1.
Point (-9, -11): -9 is the X2 and -11 is the y2
So, -11--8/-9-12

2. -11--8/-9-12= -3/-21= 1/7

I hope this helps!!

Candy Crunchers wants to see if their new candy is enjoyed more by high school or middle school students. They decide to visit o
umka21 [38]
The sample % of these two populations would be 100/size (of student body at each school) x 100 so this would compare the two student bodies preferences for the particular type of candy bar. However, the actual % of the whole student body at each school would be a factor also. If the high school only had 200 students then this would be 50% representative but if the middle school had say 500 students this would only be 20% representative so this would have to be taken into account too. It might be more representative to have the same % of the student bodies respectively for the sample.

Find the area of a square if its sides measure 2 2/3m
olga55 [171]

Answer:

7\dfrac{1}{9}\ m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the square side is a units, then the area of the square is

A=a^2\ un^2.

In your case, the side length is

a=2\dfrac{2}{3}\ m,

then the area is

A=2\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot 2\dfrac{2}{3}\\ \\ \\A=\dfrac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}\cdot \dfrac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}\\ \\ \\A=\dfrac{8}{3}\cdot \dfrac{8}{3}\\ \\ \\A=\dfrac{64}{9}\\ \\ \\A=7\dfrac{1}{9}\ m^2

What is the area of this triangle?
dsp73

Answer:60

Step-by-step explanation:

a=13 b=13 c=10

Perimeter of =a+b+c

perimeter of =13+13+10

Perimeter of =36

S=36 ➗ 2

S=18

Area=√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

Area=√18(18-13)(18-13)(18-10)

Area=√18(5)(5)(8)

Area=√(3600)

Area of =60
