(a) I can't help you with using your calculator for this part, but if you have some familiarity with your device you can check your answer with mine.
The mean is simply the sum of all the house costs divided by the number of houses:
(75k + 75k + 150k + 155k + 165k + 203k + 750k + 755k)/8 = 291k
So the population mean is $291,000.
The population standard deviation is the square root of the population variance. To get the variance, you take the sum of all the squared differences between the cost and the mean cost, then divide that sum by the number of houses. That is,
[(75k - 291k)² + (75k - 291k)² + … + (755k - 291k)²]/8 = 581,286k
Note that the variances is measured in square dollars. Then the standard deviation is
√(581,286k) ≈ $762,421.1
(b) The median is just the price in the middle. There were 8 houses sold, so there are 2 "middle" prices. The median is the average of these:
(155k + 165k)/2 = 160k = $160,000
(c) Yes, the mode is the data that shows up most frequently. This happens at the lower end, with $75,000 appearing twice.
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle has three sides, which are its edges. Also, it has three vertices that are the corners of a triangle and where two edges meet.
The circumference is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle:
Equidistant = At equal distances.
The vertices in the picture are: A, B, C
The circumcenter is: P
So, we can apply the rule: PA = PB = PC
PA = 38
PB = 6x - 28
PC = ?
And since the picture labels PA and PB, we set up the equation:
PA = PB = PC
38 = 6x - 28
Add 28 to both sides
38 + 28 = 6x - 28 + 28
66 = 6x
Divide 6 on both sides
66/6 = 6x/6
Simplify
11 = x
Flip the equation
x = 11
The answer is 1/4 because she used 3/4 of the paint on 3 out of 4 walls.
