Mathematics
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h

we have

b1=16 cm

b2=24 cm

h=8 cm -----> <em>Note</em> The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm

substitute

A=(1/2)[16+24](8)

A=160 cm²

<em>Verify Scott 's work</em>

<em>Note</em> Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)

Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"

so

(24+16)=(16+24)

A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²

<em>Verify Tara's work</em>

<em>Note</em> Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)

A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²

Answer:

total rainfall during three months :-

\frac{17}{12}  \: or \: 1.41

Explanation :

here's the solution :-

=》rainfall in March =

\frac{1}{4} \:  inches

=》rainfall in April =

\frac{2}{3}  \: inches

=》rainfall in May =

\frac{1}{2}  \: inches

Total rainfall during these three months :-

=》

\frac{1}{4}  +  \frac{2}{3}  +  \frac{1}{2}

=》

\frac{3 + 8 + 6}{12}

=》

\frac{17}{12}

=》

1.41

so, total rainfall during the three months is 1.41 inches

The Los Angeles Times regularly reports the air quality index for various areas of Southern California. A sample of air quality
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

1. (a) 32     (b) 8

2. (a) 48.33    (b) 92.75    (c) 9.63

3.  We observe that sample mean of air quality index in Pomona is higher that that of Anaheim which indicates that the level of air pollution is higher in Pomona and there is more health concern here.

On the other hand, the variation in air quality index is higher in Anaheim than in Pomona as Anaheim has higher variance and standard deviation for air quality index which means that there are not much fluctuations in air quality index in Pomona.  

Step-by-step explanation:

First arranging our data of air quality index values for Pomona in ascending order, we get : 28, 42, 45, 48, 49, 50, 55, 58, 60.

  1. (a) Range is given by the formula :

                      Highest value in data - Lowest value in data = 60 - 28 = 32

        (b) Interquartile rage = Third quartile - First quartile

                                           = Q_3 - Q_1

             Q_1 =  (\frac{n-1}{4} )^{th} observation in the data = 2^{nd} obs. { Because n = 9}

                 Therefore, Q_1 = 42.

             Q_3 = (3Q_1)^{th} obs. = (3 x 2 ) = 6^{th} obs = 50

             So, Interquartile rage = 50 - 42 = 8.

     2. (a) Sample mean formula =  \frac{\sum X_i}{n} = \frac{28+ 42+ 45+ 48+ 49+ 50+ 55+ 58+ 60}{9} = 48.33

         (b) Sample variance formula = \frac{\sum (X_i - Xbar)^{2}}{n-1} where Xbar = Sample mean

                                                         = 92.75

          (c) Sample standard deviation  formula = \sqrt{variance} = \sqrt{92.75} = 9.63.

     3. Given that a sample of air quality index readings for Anaheim has   sample mean of 48.3, a sample variance of 136, and a sample standard deviation of 11.66.

We observe that sample mean of air quality index in Pomona is higher that that of Anaheim which indicates that the level of air pollution is higher in Pomona and there is more health concern here.

On the other hand, the variation in air quality index is higher in Anaheim than in Pomona as Anaheim has higher variance and standard deviation for air quality index which means that there are not much fluctuations in air quality index in Pomona.
