A sample of blood pressure measurements is taken for a group of adults, and those values (mm Hg) are listed below. The values

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

For systolic pressure data:

$\bar X =127.2\\\\S=17.91668\\\\CV=\frac{17.91668}{127.2}=0.14085$

For diastolic pressure data:

$\bar X =73.5\\\\S=12.54\\\\CV=\frac{73.5}{12.54}=0.17061$

Systolic pressure is slightly less variable, among individuals in the sample, than diastolic pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of variation is defined as the percentage relative variation of a set of data with respect to its average. And it is calculated like this:

$CV=\frac{\bar X}{S}$

$S =\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1} \sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar{x})^2$

$\bar X={\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n x_i$

For systolic pressure data:

$\bar X =127.2\\\\S=17.91668\\\\CV=\frac{17.91668}{127.2}=0.14085$

For diastolic pressure data:

$\bar X =73.5\\\\S=12.54\\\\CV=\frac{12.54}{73.5}=0.17061$

It is observed that the systolic pressure shows greater standard deviation but less coefficient of variation. This is due to the greater magnitude of its measurement scale.

Systolic pressure is slightly less variable, among individuals in the sample, than diastolic pressure.

Suppose Miss Roxanne Davenport is 25 years old right now and puts away $1,800 per quarter in an account that returns 6% interest

Lena [83]

We have been given that miss Roxanne is 25 years old and she puts 1800 dollars per quarter that returns 6% interest.

(a) We need to figure out how much will be in the account when she turns 65 years old. When she turns 65 years old, the number of years during which she made deposits would be 40. Since she made quarterly deposits. She made a total of 160 deposits. We can now figure out the final amount in the account using future value of annuity formula.

$A=P\frac{(1+r)^{n}-1}{r}$

We have the values P=1800, r=6/4% = 1.5% = 0.015 and n=160.

Therefore, the amount in the account would be:

$A=1800\frac{(1+0.015)^{160}-1}{0.015}=1179415.39$

Therefore, miss Roxanne will be 1179415.39 dollars in her account when she turns 65 years old.

(b) In this part we need to figure out the total amount she deposited.

The total amount she deposited would be $1800*160=\$288000$ .

(c) We can find the interest earned by subtracting her contribution from the answer of part (a).

Interest earned = $1179415.39-288000=\$891415.39$

Before the coffee shop opens the employees bake 40 cookies which is 25 less than the number of donuts they make does the equatio

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

x-25 = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cookies made = x

The employees bake 40 cookies which is 25 less than the number of donuts they make

Number of Cookies is less than Number of Donuts by 25

Therefore the equation that describes the situation is given as:

x-25 = 40 where x is the number of cookies made.

I have 18 ones 15 hundreds 15 tens 8thousands what number am I

tankabanditka [31]

8 thousands is equal to 8000.
15 hundreds is equal to 1500.
15 tens is equal to 150.
18 ones is equal to 18.

So just add them up.
8000 + 1500 = 9500.
9500 + 150 = 9650.
9650 + 18 = 9668.

The number is 9668

If P(C)=.29, P(D)=.47 and P(C and )= 0, are the events C and D mutually exclusive? Find P(C or D)

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

note : P(C or D) = P(C)+P(D) - P(C and )

P(C or D) =0.29+0.47- 0

P(C or D) = 0.76
