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.

One number is one-third a second number. if the sum of the numbers is 48, find the numbers.
Gnoma [55]

First number assume A

Second number assume B

A= 1/3B ==> B= 3A

A+B = 48 ==> A+ 3A= 48

4A= 48 ==> A= 12

B= 3A= 36

Can you help me simplify this and explain it -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Archy [21]
A. Factor 28 + 7g  7(g <span>+ 4) 

add 
28 </span><span>+ 7g 

= 7 (g </span>+ 4)

B. (12r + 15) – 65 Remove parentheses
12r+15-65

= 12r - 50 

C. 24 – (8p – 12)

24 - (8p - 12) = -8p + 36 

24 - (8p - 12)  -(8p - 12) 8p + 12

= 24-8p+12

Simplify 24-8p+12 

Group like terms
-8p+12+24

Add the numbers  12+24=36

Answer is -8p+36

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

(\frac{3}{4})^6 \times (\frac{16}{9})^5=(\frac{4}{3})^{x+2}

\frac{3^6}{4^6} \cdot \frac{16^5}{9^5}=\frac{4^{x+2}}{3^{x+2}}

\frac{3^6}{4^6} \cdot \frac{(4^2)^5}{(3^2)^5}=\frac{4^{x+2}}{3^{x+2}}

\frac{3^6}{4^6} \cdot \frac{4^{10}}{3^{10}}=\frac{4^{x+2}}{3^{x+2}}

\frac{3^6}{3^{10}} \cdot \frac{4^{10}}{4^6}=\frac{4^{x+2}}{3^{x+2}}

3^{-4} \cdot 4^{4}=4^{x+2}3^{-(x+2)}

This implies

x+2=4

and

-(x+2)=-4.

x+2=4 implies x=2 since subtract 2 on both sides gives us x=2.

Solving -(x+2)=-4 should give us the same value.

Multiply both sides by -1:

x+2=4

It is the same equation as the other.

You will get x=2 either way.

Let's check:

(\frac{3}{4})^6 \times (\frac{16}{9})^5=(\frac{4}{3})^{2+2}

(\frac{3}{4})^6 \times (\frac{16}{9})^5=(\frac{4}{3})^{4}

Put both sides into your calculator and see if you get the same thing on both sides:

Left hand side gives 256/81.

Right hand side gives 256/81.

Both side are indeed the same for x=2.
