Answer:

This shows us that there are 1400 readers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To work this out you would first need to find how many times 5% goes into 100%, You can do this by dividing 100 by 5, this gives you 20. This is because the whole amount  is equivalent to 100%.

To work out the total number of readers you would multiply 70 by 20, this gives you 1400. This is because we know that 70 is equivalent to 5% and that 5% goes into 100% 20. So by multiplying 70 by 20 we are working out the total (100%), and that this shows us there are 1400 readers.

1) Divide 100 by 5.

100/5=20

2) Multiply 70 by 20.

70*20=1400

Which data set has an outlier? 25, 36, 44, 51, 62, 77 3, 3, 3, 7, 9, 9, 10, 14 8, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 23, 26, 31, 39 63, 65, 66,

It's hard to tell where one set ends and the next starts.  I think it's

A. 25, 36, 44, 51, 62, 77

B. 3, 3, 3, 7, 9, 9, 10, 14

C. 8, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 23, 26, 31, 39

D. 63, 65, 66, 69, 71, 78, 80, 81, 82, 82
Let's go through them.

A. 25, 36, 44, 51, 62, 77

That looks OK, standard deviation around 20, mean around 50, points with 2 standard deviations of the mean.

B. 3, 3, 3, 7, 9, 9, 10, 14

Average around 7, sigma around 4, within 2 sigma, seems ok.

C. 8, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 23, 26, 31, 39

Average around 20, sigma around 8, that 39 is hanging out there past two sigma.  Let's reserve judgement and compare to the next one.


D. 63, 65, 66, 69, 71, 78, 80, 81, 82, 82

Average around 74, sigma 8, seems very tight.

I guess we conclude C has the outlier 39.  That one doesn't seem like much of an outlier to me; I was looking for a lone point hanging out at five or six sigma.

What is the distance between (6, 1) and (1, -9)?​
AVprozaik [17]

<u>A</u><u>n</u><u>s</u><u>w</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>:</u><u> </u>√15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (6,1) be (x^1,y^1) and (1,-9) be (x^2,y^2) .

As we know ,

Distance(D) = √(x^1-x^2) +(y^1-y^2)

Now,

D= √(x^1-x^2) +(y^1-y^2)

= √(6-1) +(1+9)

= √5+10

= √15 units

: Therefore the distance between (6,1) and (1,-9) is √15 units.

Describe the behavior of the function ppp around its vertical asymptote at x=-2x=−2x, equals, minus, 2. ​
insens350 [35]

Answer:

x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty and as x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2} -- Missing from the question

Required

The behavior of the function around its vertical asymptote at x = -2

p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}

Expand the numerator

p(x) = \frac{x^2 + x -3x - 3}{x+2}

Factorize

p(x) = \frac{x(x + 1) -3(x + 1)}{x+2}

Factor out x + 1

p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}

We test the function using values close to -2 (one value will be less than -2 while the other will be greater than -2)

We are only interested in the sign of the result

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As x approaches -2 implies that:

x -> -2^{-} Say x = -3

p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}

p(-3) = \frac{(-3-3)(-3+1)}{-3+2} = \frac{-6 * -2}{-1} = \frac{+12}{-1} = -12

We have a negative value (-12); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x approaches -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty

Take note of the superscript of 2 (this implies that, we approach 2 from a value less than 2)

As x leaves -2 implies that: x>-2

Say x = -2.1

p(-2.1) = \frac{(-2.1-3)(-2.1+1)}{-2.1+2} = \frac{-5.1 * -1.1}{-0.1} = \frac{+5.61}{-0.1} = -56.1

We have a negative value (-56.1); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x leaves -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty

So, the behavior is:

x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty and as x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty

Please, Find the value of x
dsp73

Answer:

85+(5x-10)=11x+3 (sum of two non-adjacent interior angle is equal to exterior angle )

75+5x=11x+3

75-3=11x-5x

6x=72

x=72/6

x=12
