Area covered by the forest in the beginning = 1500km²

Decrease in area each year = 5.8% = 5.8/100 × 1500 = 87km²

Decrease in the area of the forest in <em>t</em> years = 87t

Area of forest now = y

y = 1500 - 87t

Marie has 8 hours to write a 45-page chapter

Anastasy [175]

Marie will NOT complete the chapter in time

Step-by-step explanation:

If Marie writes at a constant speed of 4 pages per hour, to write a 45-page chapter she will take;

45/4 = 11.25

= 11 ¼ hours

11 ¼ hours > 8 hours

Therefore Marie will NOT complete the chapter in time

The number of viewers for television show 1 and show 2 is given as f = 14.7(0.94)ˣ and g = 15.2(1.03)ˣ

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

Where a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplication factor.

Let f and g representing the approximate number of viewers, in millions, x weeks after the tracking begins.

A city police officer using radar checked the speed of 26 cars as they were travelling down a city street and the data is given

pychu [463]

Answer: The distribution of the data set is positively skewed.

<u>Explanation: </u>

In order to see whether the given data set is symmetric, positively skewed or negatively skewed, we will find the mean, median and mode of the given data set.

For symmetric distribution, $Mean = Median=Mode$

For positively skewed distribution, $Mean > Median>Mode$

For negatively skewed distribution, $Mean < Median$

The mean of the given data set is given below:

$Mean = \frac{27+23+22+38+43+24+25+23+22+54+31+30+29+48+27+25+29+28+26+33+25+21+23+34+20+23}{26}$

$=\frac{753}{26}$

$=28.96$

Now, the Median is:

To find the median we need to sort the data in ascending order as:

$20,21,22,22,23,23,23,23,24,25,25,25,26,27,27,28,29,29,30,31,33,34,38,43,48,54$

$Median=\left(\frac{N+1}{2} \right)^{th} item$

$=\left(\frac{26+1}{2}\right)^{th} item$

$=13.5^{th} item$

$=26+0.5 \times (27-26)$

$=26.5$

$\therefore Median = 26.5$

The mode is the most frequently occurring observation. Therefore the mode is:

$Mode=23$

Since the $Mean >Median>Mode$ , therefore the distribution of the given data set is positively skewed.
