Matilda was curious if sample interquartile range (IQR) was an unbiased estimator of population IQR. She placed ping pong balls

numbered from 000 to 323232 in a drum and mixed them well. Note that the IQR of the population is 161616. She then took a random sample of 555 balls and calculated the IQR of the sample. She replaced the balls and repeated this process for a total of 505050 trials. Her results are summarized in the dotplot below, where each dot represents the sample IQR from a sample of 555 balls. 00551010151520202525Sample IQR Based on these results, does sample IQR appear to be a biased or unbiased estimator of population IQR

Answer: Sample IQR appears to be a biased estimator since it consistently underestimated the population IQR.

Integration of (3X(X^2+3)^4) dx<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20" id="TexFormula1" title=" " alt=" " align="absmiddle" c
dimaraw [331]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

\int 3x(x^2+3)^4 \ dx.

It is apparently obvious we could expand the bracket and integrate term-by-term. This method would work but is very time consuming (and you could easily make a mistake) so we use a different method: integration by substitution.

Integration by substitution involves swapping the variable x for another variable which depends on x: u(x). (We are going to choose u for this question).

The very first step is to choose a suitable substitution. That is, an equation u=f(x) which is going to make the integration easier. There is a trick for spotting this however: if an integral contains both a term and it's derivative then use the substitution u=\text{The Term}.

Your integral contains the term x^2 + 3. The derivative is 2x and (ignoring the constants) we see x is also in the integral and so the substitution u=x^2+3 will unravel this integral!

Step 2: We must now swap the variable of integration from x to u. That means interchanging all the x's in the integrand (the term being integrated) for u's and also swapping (dx" to "du").

u=x^2+3 \Rightarrow \frac{du}{dx}=2x \Rightarrow dx = \frac{1}{2x} du

Then,

\int 3x(x^2+3)^4 \ dx = \int 3x \cdot u^4 \cdot \frac{1}{2x} du = \int \frac{3}{2}u^4\ du.

The substitution has made this integral is easy to solve!

\int \frac{3}{2}u^4\ du= \frac{3}{10}u^5 + C

Finally we can substitute back to get the answer in terms of x:

\int 3x(x^2+3)^4 \ dx = \frac{3}{10}(x^2+3)^5+C

A regular hexagon has sides 2 feet long. What is the exact area of the hexagon? What is the approximate area of the hexagon?
nexus9112 [7]

The formula for the area of a hexagon is

A=\frac{3\sqrt[]{3}}{2}s^2

where 's' is the length of one side of the regular hexagon.

The side of our regular hexagon is 2 feet, therefore, its area is

\begin{gathered} A=\frac{3\sqrt[]{3}}{2}\cdot(2)^2=6\sqrt[]{3} \\ 6\sqrt[]{3}=10.3923048454\ldots\approx10 \end{gathered}

The exact area of the hexagon is 6√3 ft², which is approximately 10 ft².

A set of data is normally distributed with a mean of 327 and a standard deviation of 27.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

  86.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

For questions regarding values related to a normal distribution, a suitable calculator is required. Numerous calculators, apps, web sites, and spreadsheets are capable of answering this question.

__

One standard deviation above the mean is 327 +27 = 354, so the value is expected to be slightly more than 50% +34% = 84%. It is no surprise, then, that a calculator tells you 86.7% of the data is below 857.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The "empirical rule" tells you 68% of the area is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. The distribution is symmetrical, so half that, 34%, is between the mean and 1 standard deviation above the mean. Of course, 50% of the data is below the mean.
