Given:

\sigma_A=3

n_A=6

\sigma_B=5

n_B=4

\overline{x}_A=\overline{x}_B

To find:

The variance. of combined set.

Solution:

Formula for variance is

\sigma^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n}      ...(i)

Using (i), we get

\sigma_A^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2}{n_A}

(3)^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2}{6}

9=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2}{6}

54=\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2

Similarly,

\sigma_B^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{n_B}

(5)^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{4}

25=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{4}

100=\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2

Now, after combining both sets, we get

\sigma^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2+\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{n_A+n_B}

\sigma^2=\dfrac{54+100}{6+4}

\sigma^2=\dfrac{154}{10}

\sigma^2=15.4

Therefore, the variance of combined set is 15.4.

1. The county fair charges $1.50 per ticket for the rides. Jermaine bought 20 tickets for the rides and spent a
makvit [3.9K]

Cost per ticket for the rides = $1.50.

a) Let us assume the number of ride tickets = x.

Total cost of x number of rides = y.

Total amount spent = $48.75.

Amount spent on 20 tickets = 20 × 1.50 = $30

<em>Fair admission charge = Total amount spent - Amount spent on 20 tickets</em>

<em> =  $48.75 - $30 = $18.75.</em>

Let us apply slope-intercept form y=mx+b to get the equation.

Total cost of x number of tickets at the rate $1.50 each ticket = 1.50x.

To<em>tal cost of fair = Total cost of x number of tickets + Fair admission charge.</em>

<h3>b) y = 1.50x + 18.75.</h3>

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to y = -4x + 3 that goes through (8, -3)?
maks197457 [2]
Perpendicular slope: opposite and reciprocal
-4 opposite and reciprocal = 1/4
Y = 1/4x + b
Plug in point
-3 = 1/4(8) + b
-3 = 2 + b, b = -5
Solution: y = 1/4x - 5

umka2103 [35]

Im going to assume that 3√ is √3

And √3 is irrational because You cant square root it without getting nuked with a Random Number generator of decimals.

rectangular cake pans X and Y are similar. The ratio of the width of the pan X to the width of pan Y is 3 : 4. The length of pan
Vikki [24]
We have two rectangles such as:
Rectangle 1 = X
Rectangle 2 = Y
Where the ratio of the two is:
Ratio = X / Y = 3/4
If x length is 10, we can solve for y length such as:
10 /Y length =3/4
Y length = 40/3 = 13.33

If x width is 5, then we can solve for y width such as:
5/y width = 3/4
y width = 20/3 = 6.67

The Perimeter of Pan Y is shown below:
Y perimeter = 2(6.67) + 2(13.33)
Y perimeter = 40

The answer is 40 inches.
