What does measuring the spread of a data set tell us, and why is that significant?

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of spread is used in describing the variability in a sample.

Examples of measure of spread are: Mean, Median and Mode.

A measure of spread helps in giving an idea of how well the mean, or mode, or median, whichever of the three measure of spreads we use, represents the data under consideration. If the spread of values in the data set is large, that means there a lot of variation between the values of the data set. It is always better to have a small spread.

Answer:

Measuring the spread of a data set tells us how far are the values of data set to respect the mean. For example, large mean absolute deviation (MAD) value indicates that the values of data set are very different from the mean, i. e., they are very spread. Therefore, the mean is not representative of the data. On the other hand, in a small spread case, the mean is representative.

A farmer wants to fence a rectangular area of 72 square feet next to a river. Find the length and width of the rectangle which u
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

  • 12 ft parallel to the river
  • 6 ft perpendicular to the river

Step-by-step explanation:

The least fence is used when half the total fence is parallel to the river. That is, the shape of the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide.

72 = W(2W)

36 = W²

6 = W . . . . . . the width perpendicular to the river

12 = 2W . . . .  the length parallel to the river

_____

<em>Development of this relation</em>

Let T represent the total length of the fence for some area A. Then if x is the length along the river, the width is y=(T-x)/2, and the area is ...

  A = xy = x(T -x)/2

Note that the equation for area is that of a parabola with zeros at x=0 and at x=T. That is, for some fence length T, the area will be a maximum at the vertex of this parabola. That vertex is located halfway between the zeros, at ...

 x = (0 +T)/2 = T/2

The corresponding area width (y) is ...

  y = (T -T/2)/2 = T/4

Equivalently, the fence length T will be a minimum for some area A when x=T/2 and y=T/4. This is the result we used above.

Find and simplify each of the following for
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

(A) f(x + h) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6

(B) f(x + h) - f(x) = 8xh + 4h² - 6h

(C) \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=8x+4h-6

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The function f(x) = 4x² - 6x + 6

- To find f(x + h) substitute x in the function by (x + h)

∵ f(x) = 4x² - 6x + 6

∴ f(x + h) = 4(x + h)² - 6(x + h) + 6

- Lets simplify 4(x + h)²

∵ (x + h)² = (x)(x) + 2(x)(h) + (h)(h) = x² + 2xh + h²

∴ 4(x + h)² = 4(x² + 2xh + h²) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h²

- Lets simplify 6(x + h)

∵ 6(x + h) = 6(x) + 6(h)

∴ 6(x + h) = 6x + 6h

∴ f(x + h) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - (6x + 6h) + 6

- Remember (-)(+) = (-)

∴ f(x + h) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6

* (A) f(x + h) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6

- Lets find f(x + h) - f(x)

∵ f(x + h) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6

∵ f(x) = 4x² - 6x + 6

∴ f(x + h) - f(x) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6 - (4x² - 6x + 6)

- Remember (-)(-) = (+)

∴ f(x + h) - f(x) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6 - 4x² + 6x - 6

- Simplify by adding the like terms

∴ f(x + h) - f(x) = (4x² - 4x²) + 8xh + 4h² + (- 6x + 6x) - 6h + (6 - 6)

∴ f(x + h) - f(x) = 8xh + 4h² - 6h

* (B) f(x + h) - f(x) = 8xh + 4h² - 6h

- Lets find \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

∵ f(x + h) - f(x) = 8xh + 4h² - 6h

∴ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{8xh + 4h^{2}-6h}{h}

- Simplify by separate the three terms

∴ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{8xh}{h}+\frac{4h^{2} }{h}-\frac{6h}{h}

∴ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=8x+4h-6

* (C) \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=8x+4h-6
