The athletic departments at 10 randomly selected U.S. universities were asked by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to

Lesechka [4]

Answer: Mean = 3.5 , median = 2.5, mode = 2, geometric mean = 2.74

Median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

The least appropriate = mean

Yes there is an outlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given responses : 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5.

First arrange them in increasing order, $\sqrt[10]{1\times1\times2\times2\times2\times3\times4\times5\times5\times10 }\\\\=\sqrt[10]{24000} \approx2.74$

Its sum = 35

Mean of n observations = (Sum of observations) ÷ n

Mean = (35) ÷ 10

=3.5

Here n =10 (even)

Median = average of middle most numbers = $\dfrac{2+3}{2}=\dfrac52=2.5$

Mode = most repeated number = 2 (thrice)

geometric mean = $\sqrt[n]{x_1\times x_2\times.... x_n}$

10 is an outlier as it is very large as compare to other numbers.

When outlier is present in data , the median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

Mean affected badly by the outlier so it the least appropriate.

Let FS R be a finite set. (a) Prove that F is closed (b) Prove that every point in F is an isolated point.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

a) Suppose that F is ordered in ascending order: $F = \{x_1,\ldots, x_n\}$ . Then, the complement of F can be written as

$F^c = (-\infty,x_1)\cup (x_1,x_2)\cup (x_2,x_3)\cup \cdots \cup (x_{n-1}, x_{n})\cup (x_n,+\infty)$

which is the union of a finite number of open intervals, then $F^c$ is an open set. Thus, F is a closed subset of the real numbers.

b) Take an arbitrary element of F, let us say $x_k$ . Now, choose a real number $\epsilon$ such that

$0$ there are not other element of F, because $\epsilon$ is less that the minimum distance between $x_k$ and its neighbors.

In case that $k=1$ we only consider $0$ , and if $k=n$ we only consider $0$ .

Then, all points of F are isolated.

It takes a 15-year-old tree to produce 700 grocery bags. How many 15-year-old trees would it take to produce 17,500 grocery bags

vfiekz [6]

17,500 / 700 = 25 15 year old trees you will need

Hope this helped

Challenge A movie theater sends out a coupon for 15% off the price of a ticket. Write an equation

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The equation is y= 0,65 x

If x is the price of the ticket without the coupon, and the theater offers a discount if you have a coupon, then having a coupon means that the price a person ultimately pays (y) is the original price (x) minus a 35% of this price: y= x -0.35 x . By association: y= (1-0.35) x and then y= 0.65 x.

The line should be in the first quadrant because the first quadrant allows you to represent a situation in which the dependent variable (y) and the independent variable (x) are both positive. This is the case in this exercise, because both prices, the one without discount (x) and the one with discount (y) are necessary positive (you can not pay a negative price!).

Step-by-step explanation:

The price without discount (or without the coupon) is x.

The price with discount (or with coupon) is y.

y and x are both related: y is a percentage of x, specifically, y is 35% smaller than x. This means that y =0.65 x.

The weights of packets of cookies produced by a certain manufacturer have a Normal distribution with a mean of 202 grams and a s

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

209.005 gms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the weights of packets of cookies produced by a certain manufacturer have a Normal distribution with a mean of 202 grams and a standard deviation of 3 grams.

Let X be the weight of packets of cookies produced by manufacturer

X is N(202, 3) gms.

To find the weight that should be stamped on the packet so that only 1% of the packets are underweight

i.e. P(X<c) <0.01

From std normal table we find that z value = 2.335

Corresponding x value = 202+3(2.335)

=209.005 gms.
