HELP PLEASE!!!!!! I NEED TO GET AN 100%

Give an example of each of the following types of data: qualitative, quantitative, discrete, and continuous.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Continuous: Height, weight, annual income.

Discrete: Number of children, number of students in a class.

Continuous data (like height) can (in theory) be measured to any degree of accuracy. If you consider a value line, the values can be anywhere on the line. For statistical purposes this kind of data is often gathered in classes (example height in 5 cm classes).

Discrete data (like number of children) are parcelled out one by one. On the value line they occupy only certain points. Sometimes discrete values are grouped into classes, but less often.

supervisor records the repair cost for 25 randomly selected dryers. A sample mean of $93.36 and standard deviation of $19.95 are

Simora [160]

<h2><u>Answer with explanation:</u></h2>

The confidence interval for population mean (when population standard deviation is unknown) is given by :-

$\overline{x}-t^*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}< \mu$

, where n= sample size

$\overline{x}$ = Sample mean

s= sample size

t* = Critical value.

Given : n= 25

Degree of freedom : $df=n-1=24$

$\overline{x}= \$93.36$

$s=\ $19.95$

Significance level for 98% confidence interval : $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$

Using t-distribution table ,

Two-tailed critical value for 98% confidence interval :

$t^*=t_{\alpha/2,\ df}=t_{0.01,\ 24}=2.4922$

⇒ The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval = 2.4922

Then, the 95% confidence interval would be :-

$93.36-(2.4922)\dfrac{19.95}{\sqrt{25}}< \mu$

$=93.36-9.943878< \mu$

$=83.416122< \mu$

Hence, the 98% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. = $83.4161$

Rob notices that 55 percent of the people leaving the supermarket chhose plastic bags instead of paper bags. out of 600 people,

Temka [501]

To solve this answer, you are trying to find 55% of 600, because that is the number of people who chose plastic bag.

55% can be re-written as 55/100 OR 0.55 since percentages are always out of 100.

So, we do 0.55*600, which gives us 330. 330 people carry plastic bags.

What if the following is the sum of both solutions of the equation....

LuckyWell [14K]

answer

D 2

factor

factor the equation $x^{2} - 2x - 8 = 0$ into (x + a) and (x + b) so that a + b = -2 and a * b = -8

the two numbers that meet these conditions are a = -4 and b = 2

$x^{2} - 2x - 8 = (x - 4)(x + 2)$

find solutions

set both (x - 4) and (x + 2) equal to zero to find your solutions

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

add solutions

since the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -2, add them together to get your final answer

4 + (-2) = 2
