In a mathematics class, half of the students scored 87 on an achievement test.

Nimfa-mama [501]

The complete question is:

In a mathematics class, half of the students scored 87 on an achievement test. With the exception of a few students who scored 52, the remaining students scored 71. Which of the following statements is true about the distribution of scores?

A. The mean is less than the median.

B. The mean and the median is the same.

C. The mean is greater than the mode.

D. The mean is greater than the median.

Statistics exist in the analysis of collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data or into discipline to collect and summarize the data.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A. The mean is less than the median.

<h3>What are statistics?</h3>

Statistics exist in the analysis of collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data or into discipline to collect and summarize the data.

Half the students scored 87.

The next highest score exists at 71.

Then the median will be (71+ 87) / 2 = 79

A few students scored 52, so the mean exists a little lower than the mean of 71 and 87.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A. The mean is less than the median.

Amy is pulling a wagon with a force of 30 pounds up a hill at an angle of 25°. Give the force exerted on the wagon as a vector a

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Vector (ordered pair - rectangular form)

$\vec F = (27.189,12.679)\,[lbf]$

Vector (ordered pair - polar form)

$\vec F = (30\,lbf, 25^{\circ})$

Sum of vectorial components (linear combination)

$\vec F = 27.189\cdot \hat{i} + 12.679\cdot \hat{j}\,[N]$

Step-by-step explanation:

From statement we know that force exerted on the wagon has a magnitude of 30 pounds-force and an angle of 25° above the horizontal, which corresponds to the +x semiaxis, whereas the vertical is represented by the +y semiaxis.

The force ( $\vec F$ ), in pounds-force, can be modelled in two forms:

Vector (ordered pair - rectangular form)

$\vec F = \left(\|\vec F\|\cdot \cos \theta, \|\vec F\|\cdot \sin \theta\right)$ (1)

Vector (ordered pair - polar form)

$\vec F = \left(\|\vec F\|, \theta\right)$

Sum of vectorial components (linear combination)

$\vec {F} = \left(\|\vec F\|\cdot \cos \theta\right)\cdot \hat{i} + \left(\|\vec F\|\cdot \sin \theta \right)\cdot \hat{j}$ (2)

Where:

$\|\vec F\|$ - Norm of the vector force, in newtons.

$\theta$ - Direction of the vector force with regard to the horizontal, in sexagesimal degrees.

$\hat{i}$ , $\hat{j}$ - Orthogonal axes, no unit.

If we know that $\|\vec F\| = 30\,lbf$ and $\theta = 25^{\circ}$ , then the force exerted on the wagon is:

Vector (ordered pair - rectangular form)

$\vec F= \left(30\cdot \cos 25^{\circ}, 30\cdot \sin 25^{\circ}\right)\,[lbf]$

$\vec F = (27.189,12.679)\,[lbf]$

Vector (ordered pair - polar form)

$\vec F = (30\,lbf, 25^{\circ})$

Sum of vectorial components (linear combination)

$\vec F = (30\cdot \cos 25^{\circ})\cdot \hat{i} + (30\cdot \sin 25^{\circ})\cdot \hat{j}\,[N]$

$\vec F = 27.189\cdot \hat{i} + 12.679\cdot \hat{j}\,[N]$

Explain the distance formula. Then use it to calculate the

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$dAB=10\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>distance formula</u> is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

A(1, 1) and B(7, −7)

Let

(x1,y1)=A(1, 1)

(x2,y2)=B(7, −7)

substitute the given values in the formula

$dAB=\sqrt{(-7-1)^{2}+(7-1)^{2}}$

$dAB=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$dAB=\sqrt{64+36}$

$dAB=\sqrt{100}$

$dAB=10\ units$

What is the volume, in cubic meters, if the prism below?

Fiesta28 [93]

<h3>Answer: 1848 cubic meters</h3>

=================================================================

Explanation:

Imagine rotating the figure so that the triangular face is flat on the ground. This makes the triangular faces to be the floor and ceiling of this room.

The floor is a triangle with base 24 meters and height 7 meters. The floor area is base*height/2 = 24*7/2 = 84 square meters.

Multiply this floor area with the height of the room (22 m) to get the volume of the room.

volume = (floor area)*(height) = 84*22 = 1848 cubic meters
