To inspect manufacturing processes, companies typically examine samples of parts for deficiencies. One company that manufactures

ballpoint pens selected samples of pens on each of days. The company recorded, for each sample of , the number of defective pens in the sample. Here are their data:
1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 9, 11, 14, 15, 18

Required:
a. Which measures of central tendency do not exist for this data set?
b. Which measures of central tendency would be affected by the change?
c. Which of the following best describes the distribution of the original data?
d. Suppose that, starting with the original data set, the largest measurement were removed. Which measures of central tendency would be changed from those of the original data set?

Answer:

a. All measures exist

b. The Mean and the mode

c. Positively skewed

d. The mean and the median

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The frequencies of the data are;

1       2

2      4

3       1

5       2

6       3

9        1

11        1

14        1

15       1

18       1

The formula for mode is given as follows;

The mean = 108/17 = 6.35

The median of 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 5 5 6 6 6 9 11 14 15 18 = (n + 1)/2th term = 9th term  

∴ The median = 5

The mode = 3×Median - 2 × Mean = 15 - 2 × 6.35 = 2.29

Hence all exist

The answer is none theses measures

b. Whereby 18 is replaced by 39 the mean will be then be

(108 + 39 - 18)/17 = 7.59

The median, which is the 9th term remain the same;

Hence only the mean and mode will be affected

c. Since more values are concentrated on the left side of the data distribution, the distribution is positively skewed

d. The largest measurement = 18 the 17th term

Removal will give

Mean = (108 - 18)/16 = 5.625 Mean changes

Median = (16 + 1)/2 th term = 8.5th term = 5 The median remains the same

The mode = 3(Mean - Median) changes

Therefore, the mean and the median will be changed.

Choose the slope-intercept form of y + 3 = 4(x - 5).
Scrat [10]

Answer: y=4x-23

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply the 4 on the right side to make it y+3=4x-20. Then subtract 3 on both sides to get y=4x-23

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

ans x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 5x + 7 = -13
  • 5x = -13 -7
  • 5x= -20
  • x = -20/5
  • x = -4
  • so the answer is x= -4

Jamal Buys a lunch special for $9.50And a dessert for $3.50. He wants to leave a tip that is about 15% of the bill. He estimates
sergey [27]

Answer:

  His estimate is somewhat low.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total bill is $9.50 +3.50 = $13.00. The estimated tip is 15% of $10, so Jamal needs to add 15% of $3, or $0.45, to his estimate to leave a tip equal to 15% of the bill.

The tip Jamal has calculated is about 11.5% of the bill. (1.50/13.00 ≈ 0.1154)

The tip Jamal wants to leave is $1.95. (0.15·13.00 = 1.95)
