When data consist of percentages, ratios, compounded growth rates, or other rates of change, the geometric mean is a useful meas

ure of central tendency. For n data values, the geometric mean, assuming all data values are positive, is as follows. To find the average growth factor over 5 years of an investment in a mutual fund with growth rates of 10.5% the first year, 12.1% the second year, 13.5% the third year, 3.5% the fourth year, and 7.3% the fifth year, take the geometric mean of 1.105, 1.121, 1.135, 1.035, and 1.073. Find the average growth factor of this investment. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer: 1.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Year__growth rate ___growth factor

1 ______10.5% _____ 100%+10.5%

2______12.1%______ 100%+12. 1%

3______13.5%______ 100%+13.5%

4______3.5%_______ 100%+3.5%

5______7.3%_______ 100%+7.3%

The geometric mean:

(Product of the n data values)^(1/n)

Where n = number of data values

For the data above, the average growth factor :

n = 5

(1.105×1.121×1.135×1.035×1.073)^(1/5)

= (1.561362785497125)^(1/5)

= 1.0932028

= 1.09

Hence, average growth factor = 1.09

SAT scores: The College Board reports that in 2009, the mean score on the math SAT was 582 and the population standard deviation
Andrews [41]

Answer:

we can conclude that there is no significant evidence to conclude that the mean score in 2010 differs from the mean score in 2009.

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μ = 582

H1 : μ < 582

Test statistic :

T = (xbar - μ) ÷ σ/√n

Xbar = 515 ; n = 20 ; σ = 120

T = (515 - 582) ÷ 120/√20

T = -67 / 26.832815

T = 2.50

Pvalue at t score = 2.50 ; df = 19 is 0.0187

At α = 0.0187

Pvalue > α ; Hence, we fail to reject the Null

Hence, we can conclude that there is no significant evidence to conclude that the mean score in 2010 differs from the mean score in 2009.

4sinθ – 1 = - 3 for 0&lt;θ&lt; 360
EastWind [94]

Answer:

\theta = 210^\circ or \theta = 330^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

4 \sin \theta - 1 = -3

4 \sin \theta = -2

\sin \theta = \dfrac{-2}{4}

\sin \theta = -0.5

For sin θ = 0.5, the reference angle is θ = 30 deg.

\sin 30^\circ = 0.5

\theta = 210^\circ or \theta = 330^\circ
