There has been much media coverage of the high cost of medicinal drugs in the United States. One concern is the large variation

from pharmacy to pharmacy. To investigate, a consumer advocacy group took a random sample of 100 pharmacies around the country and recorded the price (in dollars per 100 pills) of Prozac. Compute the range, variance, and standard deviation of the prices. Discuss what these statistics tell you.

102.05 99.85 112.3 97.15 111.23 105.37 105.64 106.5 102.97 107.82 106.36 111.24 107.28 114.14 106.28 106.96 98.25 111.55 107.75 101.02 101.12 97.7 97.66 100.54 115.77 112.91 111.04 112.15 102.87 101.14 107.13 108.56 109.56 103.57 108.68 104.59 116.74 116.22 100.22 103.97 111.2 109.34 115.78 101.59 107.93 104.23 96.25 103.84 102.47 102.96 99.26 101.42 108.58 107.69 99.88 102.71 111.25 99.4 117.04 106.35 110.44 102.34 107.25 107.63 105.2 109.14 115.54 101.51 108.49 112.32 109.27 97.54 102.46 105.94 109.42 111.05 102.63 106.99 102.03 108.84 118.8 108.64 95.35 105.47 104.45 102.15 111.4 108.27 104.82 108.4 109.05 116.11 103.7 121.2 99.62 102.81 109.56 103.35 113.02 103.79

Answer:

Range = 25.35

Variance = 29.46

Standard deviation = 5.43

The variation in price of Prozac is high

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of the data :

Maximum - Minimum.

121.2 - 95.35 = 25.35

The variance, s :

s² = Σ(X - m²) / n - 1

Mean, m = Σx / n

X = individual data point

m = mean of data

n = sample size

Using a calculator of save time and ensure accuracy :

s² = 29.45522

The standard deviation, s

s = sqrt(variance)

s = sqrt(s²)

s = sqrt(29.45522)

s = 5.42726.

The range, variance and standard deviation, all measure the degree of variation in a dataset. The values of these statistical measure obtain for the price of 1 product across different pharmaceutical stores, suggests thatvthe variation in price is high;

With a range of about 25.35 and standard deviation of 5.43

Answer:

C.

discrete data

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is:

                                                  C(p) = 0.95p

Where p represents the number of bolts purchased. We can calculate the cost based on the number of bolts purchased.

An important distinction between discrete and continuous data is that the continuous data is measured while discrete data is calculated or counted. Since we are obtaining the data by calculation, it must be discrete data.

The function can take on only specific values. For example for p=0, C is 0 and for p=1 the value of C is 0.95. The function cannot take any value in between 0 and 0.95. This is a characteristic of discrete function. A continuous function can take all possible values in an interval.  

Therefore, the answer to this question is: The Function models discrete data.

A line with a slope of -1/3 passes through the point (9,3). What is its equation in point-slope form?
amm1812

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We have:

(9,\ 3)\to x_1=9,\ y_1=3\\\\m=-\dfrac{1}{3}

Substitute

y-3=-\dfrac{1}{3}(x-9)
