In the data set below, what is the range? 9, 4, 9, 2, 8, 2, 1

1 answer:

7 0

First put these in order from least to greatest.

1,2,2,4,8,9,9 is the correct order
Range is when we subtract the greatest value of our data set from the smallest so in our case it would be 9-1 which leaves us with our answer that 8 is your range.

Which sampling method is MOST appropriate in estimating the average number of votes for each candidate in an election across a c

kaheart [24]

Answer:

B. Stratified sampling, because there are specific subgroups to investigate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified Sampling is a sampling method and is used when the population has subgroups with different characteristics. Random sampling is applied in each of the sub-groups proportional to their size and then these samples combined together to create sample of the study.

Since there are three towns with people from different occupations ( retirees,business owners, office workers), it is better to use stratified sampling method.

Suppose that the rate of return on stocks is normally dis-tributed with mean of 9% and a standard deviation of 3%. If I pick fiv

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The probability that at least two stocks will have a return of more than 12% is 0.1810.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = rate of return on stocks.

The random variable X follows a Normal distribution, N (9, 3²).

Compute the probability that a stock has rate of return more than 12% as follows:

$P(X\geq 12)=1-P(X$

**Use the z table for the probability.

The probability of a stock having rate of return more than 12% is 0.1587.

Now define a random variable Y as the number of stocks that has rate of return more than 12%.

The sample size of stocks selected is, n = 5.

The random variable Y follows a Binomial distribution.

The probability of a Binomial distribution is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0, 1, 2, ...$

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 2) as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-{5\choose 0}(0.1587)^{0}(1-0.1587)^{5-0}-{5\choose 1}(0.1587)^{1}(1-0.1587)^{5-1}\\=1-0.4215-0.3975\\=0.1810$

Thus, the probability that at least two stocks will have a return of more than 12% is 0.1810.

Solve the inequality below. Use the drop-down menus to describe the solution and its greah

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is x ≤ -4. A graph of the solution should have a vertical line passing through x = -4 and be shaded to the left of x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x + 13 ≥ 41

Subtract 13 from both sides

-7x ≥ 28

Dividing both sides by the -7 changes the inequality sign and we have

x ≤ -4

Hence, the solution of the inequality is x ≤ -4 and the graph of the solution should have a vertical line passing through x = -4 and it should be shaded to the left of x = -4 indicating that only numbers less than or equal to -4 are possible solutions of the inequality.
