Each container below describes a ratio of flowers.

A worker at a landscape design center uses a machine to fill bags with potting soil. Assume that the quantity put in each bag fo

ddd [48]

Answer:

Mean = 15.15

Standard deviation = 0.6062

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a uniform distribution of quantity to be put in each bag.

Low and high filling weights:

14.1 pounds and 16.2 pounds

a = 14.1

b = 16.2

a) Mean:

$\mu = \displaystyle\frac{a+b}{2}\\\\\mu = \frac{14.1+16.2}{2} = 15.15$

b) Standard Deviation:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{(b-a)^2}{12}}\\\\= \sqrt{\dfrac{(16.2-14.1)^2}{12}} = \sqrt{0.3675} = 0.6062$

A political scientist wants to know how college students feel about the Social Security system. She obtains a list of the 3456 u

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

For this case the population is described as:

All the college students

And the political have a list of 3456 undergraduates at her college for the sampling frame.

The sample would be the 104 students who return the survey.

Is important to notice that since he know the information about her college she can apply inference about the parameter of interest just at her college and not about all the possible students of college.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample would be the 104 students who return the survey.

Is important to notice that since he know the information about her college she can apply inference about the parameter of interest just at her college and not about all the possible students of college.

For this case we can also find the non reponse rate since we know that the total of questionnaires are 250 and she got back just 104 answered

$Non-resp. = \frac{250-104}{250} = \frac{146}{250}= 0.584$

So we have a non response rate of 58.4 %

EXPLANATION

For a matrix A of order n×n, the cofactor $C_{ij}$ of element $a_{ij}$ is defined to be

$C_{ij} = (-1)^{i+j} M_{ij}$

$M_{ij}$ is the minor of element $a_{ij}$ equal to the determinant of the matrix we get by taking matrix A and deleting row i and column j.

Here, we have

$C_{11} = (-1)^{1+1} M_{11} = M_{11}$

M₁₁ is the determinant of the matrix that is matrix A with row 1 and column 1 removed. The bold entries are the row and the column we delete.

$\begin{aligned} A=\begin{bmatrix} \bf 1 & \bf -6 & \bf -4\\ \bf 7 & 0 & -3 \\ \bf -9 & 8 & -8 \end{bmatrix} \implies M_{11} &= \text{det}\left(\begin{bmatrix} 0&-3 \\ 8&-8 \end{bmatrix} \right) \end{aligned}$

Since the determinant of a 2×2 matrix is

$\det\left( \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c& d \end{bmatrix} \right) = ad-bc$

it follows that

$\begin{aligned} A=\begin{bmatrix} \bf 1 & \bf -6 & \bf -4\\ \bf 7 & 0 & -3 \\ \bf -9 & 8 & -8 \end{bmatrix} \implies M_{11} &= \text{det}\left(\begin{bmatrix} 0&-3 \\ 8&-8 \end{bmatrix} \right) \\ &= (0)(-8) - (-3)(8) \\ &= -(-24) \\ &= 24 \end{aligned}$

so $C_{11} = M_{11} = 24$

Cedric orders at least 30 bottles of styling gel per month for his hair care business. The supplier charges $3 per pint bottle p

Rama09 [41]

He buys 30 bottles which each costs 3 dollars. So 30 times 3 means he pays 90 dollars. Plus the 25 dollar handling fee which is 115. However the competing supplier is 4 dollars every bottle for the pint bottle. So if he bought 30 times 4 he would pay 120. That is without the handling money. So thats why he should stay with his

What is 2 2/5 times 3 1/4

Naddik [55]

Answer:

7 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 = 12/5

3 1/4 = 13/4

12/5 x 13/4 = 156/20 = 7 16/20

7 16/20 / 4 = 7 4/5
