Answer:

Xbar = 20.813

Median = 19.95

5 - number summary :

Minimum = 15.2

Q1 = 19.05; Q2 = 19.95 ; Q3 = 21.95 ; maximum = 29.4

Standard deviation, s = 4.068

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

X : 15.2, 18.8, 19.3, 19.7, 20.2, 21.8, 22.1, 29.4

Ordered data:

15.2, 18.8, 19.3, 19.7, 20.2, 21.8, 22.1, 29.4

The mean (xbar) :

Xbar = Σx / n ; n = sample size = 8

Xbar = 166.8 / 8 = 20.8125

Xbar = 20.813

The median :

1/2 *(n+1)th term

1/2(9) = 4.5

(4 + 5)th term / 2

(19.7 + 20.2) / 2 = 19.95

The five number summary :

Minimum = 15.2

Lower quartile (Q1) = 1/4(9) = 2.25 ; (2nd + 3rd) term / 2

(18.8 + 19.3) / 2 = 19.05

Median (Q2) = 19.95

Upper quartile (Q3) :

3/4(9) = 6.75 = (6th + 7th) / 2

(21.8 + 22.1) / 2 = 21.95

Maximum = 29.4

The standard deviation, s = sqrt[(x - xbar)²/ (n-1)]

Using calculator ;

s = 4.068

what algorithm (rule) will produce the correct result for the sum "a+b" where a and b each represent any rational number.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

To find the sum of a + b where a and b are rational number.

1. when a and b are natural numbers

just add them . for example a =3, b=8

then ,a + b = 11

2. When a and b are whole numbers,

simply add them . for example a= 0, b=8

a+ b = 0 + 8= 8

3. When a and b are integers

for example, a =-1 b=8,

a+ b= -1+ 8 =7,

a=-2, b= -8

a+ b= -2-8=-10

a= -6 , b=2

a+ b= -6 + 2= -4

a= 8, b= -2

a+ b= 8 +(-2) =6

I have written this because Rational number = [Integers{Whole number(Natural number)}]

now when a= Any fraction= $\frac{p}{q}$ and b = Any fraction= $\frac{u}{v}$

now ,

$\frac{p}{q} + \frac{u}{v}$

Find L.C.M of q and v

= if q and v are Co-prime , just multiply them to find their L.C.M.

For example 14,9. LCM=14×9=126

Otherwise, Find factors of q and v . Then take out common factors first and then multiply the remaining with with common factors.For example

q=12 and v=18

12 =2×2×3

18=2×3×3

common factor =2,3

non common=2,3

L.C.M= 2×2×3×3=36

Suppose LCM of q and v = r

then , $\frac{p}{q} + \frac{u}{v}$

= $\frac{{\frac{r}{q}}\times p+{\frac{r}{v}\times u}}{r}\\$

= ${{\frac{r}{q}}\times p+{\frac{r}{v}\times u}} = k$

then ,

a + b= $\frac{k}{r}$

A square and a circle intersect so that each side of the square contains a chord of the circle equal in length to the radius of

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that Square contains a chord of of the circle equal to the radius thus from diagram

$QR=chord =radius =R$

If Chord is equal to radius then triangle PQR is an equilateral Triangle

Thus $QO=\frac{R}{2}=RO$

In triangle PQO applying Pythagoras theorem

$(PQ)^2=(PO)^2+(QO)^2$

$PO=\sqrt{(PQ)^2-(QO)^2}$

$PO=\sqrt{R^2-\frac{R^2}{4}}$

$PO=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}R$

Thus length of Side of square $=2PO=\sqrt{3}R$

Area of square $=(\sqrt{3}R)^2=3R^2$

Area of Circle $=\pi R^2$

Ratio of square to the circle $=\frac{3R^2}{\pi R^2}=\frac{3}{\pi }$

To prepare for a triathlon, Amanda starts from position A and rides her bike along a straight road for 12 miles to reach positio

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's draw the given information first for better understanding . Check the image attached.

We can use cosine rule to find the angles .

for angle A ,

$Cos A =\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}$

$Cos A =\frac{20^2+12^2-15^2}{2*20*12}$

$Cos A =\frac{319}{480}$

m∠A = 48.35 degrees

Similarly for angle B

$Cos B =\frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2bc}$

$Cos B =\frac{15^2+12^2-20^2}{2*15*12}$

$Cos B =\frac{-31}{360}$

m∠B = 94.94 degrees

Now use A+B+C=180 degrees

48.35+94.94+C=180

C=180-48.35-94.94

m∠C = 36.71 degrees
