Question 1b.

Answer:  i) Reasonably symmetric

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

Explanation:

The data set is

35,40,45,49,51,54,57,58,58,64,68,68,75,77

Erase the outer pair of values (35 and 77) to end up with this smaller set

40,45,49,51,54,57,58,58,64,68,68,75

Repeat and erase off the outer values (40 and 75) to end up with

45,49,51,54,57,58,58,64,68,68

Keep going until we have either one or two elements left

  • 49,51,54,57,58,58,64,68
  • 51,54,57,58,58,64
  • 54,57,58,58
  • 57,58

At this point, we see that the center is between these two last values. So the median is (57+58)/2 = 57.5

--------------------------------

The center is at 57.5

Let L = {35,40,45,49,51,54,57} consist of the set of numbers lower than the median

Let U = {58,58,64,68,68,75,77} be the upper set of values larger than the median.

The middle of set L is 49 and the middle of set U is 68. So Q1 and Q3 are 49 and 68 respectively.

From that, we see the IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 68-49 = 19

Let A and B be the lower and upper fence

We would then say

A = Q1 - 1.5*IQR = 49-1.5*19 = 20.5

B = Q3 + 1.5*IQR = 68 + 1.5*19 = 96.5

Notice how all of the given data values are between A = 20.5 and B = 96.5, which means we don't have any outliers.

Furthermore, if we plotted a box-and-whisker plot (see below), we can see that the two whiskers are fairly the same length. It's not perfect but they're reasonably symmetric. Similarly, the median is somewhat in the middle of the box itself. So this gives a rough idea that the data set we're dealing with is fairly symmetric.

More confirmation can be in the form of a histogram which is also part of the image below. This histogram is fairly symmetric as the left half is nearly (not perfectly) a mirror image of the right half, and vice versa. No one side pulls too far out to create a highly skewed distribution.

The value of a $3000 computer decreases about 30% each year. write a function for the computers value V(t)
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Function for given situation is : V(t)=3000(0.70)^t

Value of computer after 4 years = $720.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the value of a $3000 computer decreases about 30% each year. Now we need to write a function for the computers value V(t). then we need to find about how much will the computer be worth in 4 years.

It clearly says that value decreases so that means function represents decay.

For decay we use formula:

A=P(1-r)^t

where P=initial value = $3000,

r= rate of decrease =30% = 0.30

t= number of years

A=V(t) = future value

so the required function is V(t)=3000(1-0.30)^t

or V(t)=3000(0.70)^t

Now plug t=4 years to get the value of computer after 4 years.

V(4)=3000(0.70)^4

V(4)=720.3

Hence final answer is $720.3.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

In traffic, she drove for 3 hours

and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.

Explanation:

Given that the road trip was 136 miles;

d=136

The first part of the trip there was lots of traffic, she only averaged 16 mph;

v_1=16

The second part of the trip there was no traffic so she could drive 44 mph;

v_2=44

She traveled for a total of 5 hours;

t=5

let x represent the time in traffic when she traveled at 16 mph

t_1=x

the time the traffic is clear would be;

t_2=t-t_1=5-x

Recall that distance equals speed multiply by time;

d=v_1t_1_{}_{}^{}+v_2t_2

substituting the values;

136=16x+44(5-x)

solving for x;

\begin{gathered} 136=16x+220-44x \\ 44x-16x=220-136 \\ 28x=84 \\ x=\frac{84}{28} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}

So;

\begin{gathered} t_1=3\text{ hours} \\ t_2=5-x=5-3=2 \\ t_2=2\text{ hours} \end{gathered}

Therefore, In traffic, she drove for 3 hours

and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.
