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

state what percentage of their nursing scholarships were presently held by women. The responses were 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5.
Required:

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.

Most people can walk about 3750 feet in 15 minutes what is the unit rate in feet per minute for this walking pace
Debora [2.8K]

Based on the calculations, the unit rate in feet per minute for this walking pace is equal to 250 feet per minute.

<h3>How to calculate the unit rate?</h3>

A unit rate refers to a measurement of a quantity which is calculated as a ratio of one parameter to another.

This ultimately implies that, we would divide the distance covered in feet by the time taken to cover this distance as follows:

Unit rate = distance/time

Unit rate = 3750/15

Unit rate = 250 feet per minute.

Please show your work and explain it.
Maru [420]

Answer:

f(x)=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember when you divide fractions, you need to get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply. So your first simplification would be:

\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\div\dfrac{6x+12}{3x-12}\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\times\dfrac{3x-12}{6x+12}\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}

Next we factor what we can so we can further simplify the rest of the equation:

=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6(x+2))}\\\\

We can now cancel out (x+2)

=\dfrac{(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6)}

Next we factor out even more:

=\dfrac{(x+2)(3)(x-4)}{(x-2)(x-4)(6)}

We cancel out x-4 and reduce the 3 and 6 into simpler terms:

=\dfrac{(x+2)(1)}{(x-2)(2)}

And we can now simplify it to:

=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}

Lucia has 3.5 hours left in her workday as a car mechanic. Lucia needs 1/2 of an hour to complete one oil change.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: So Lucía has 3.5 hours left, and need 1/2 of an hour (or 0.5 hours) to do one oil change.

a) If you divide the total time she has by the time she needs for each oil change, then you got the total number of oil changes that she can do in that time; this is:

3.5/0.5 = 7

So she can do 7 oil changes in 3.5 hours.

b) If she can complete two car inspections in the same amount of time it takes her to complete one oil change, then she can do two car inspections in 0.5 hours.

2*car inspections = 0.5 hours

car inspection = (0.5/2) hours

then one car inspection will take 0.5/2 = 0.25 hours.

c) Two ways to solve this:

1) Do the same that we did in a), this is: 3.5/0.25 = 14

she can do 14 car inspections.

2) If in 3.5 hours, she can do 7 oil changes, and in the time she does an oil change, she can do two car inspections, then in 3.5 hours she can do 7*2 car inspections, and 7*2 = 14
