To start off with, the probability to draw the short straw is 1/9 and each time someone picks the long straw the denominator (the 9) decreases by one which means that the odds of someone picking it get higher.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Sample mean =119.42

Median = 92

25% trimmed mean = 102.42

10% trimmed mean = 95.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Data in increasing order :

12 13 20 23 31 35 40 43 48 49 58 62 66 67 69 71 73 77 78 79 82 85 86 89 91 93 97 99 101 105 106 106 112 117 124 135 139 141 147 159 161 168 183 207 249 262 289 323 388 513

Total no. of observations = 50

Sample mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}

= \frac{5971}{50} = 119.42

Median: Since we have even number of observation

Median = \frac{1}{2}({25\text{th term} + 26\text{th term}) = \frac{91+93}{2} = 92

10% Trimmed Mean: We remove 5 values from each side

Trimmed set = 35 40 43 48 49 58 62 66 67 69 71 73 77 78 79 82 85 86 89 91 93 97 99 101 105 106 106 112 117 124 135 139 141 147 159 161 168 183 207 249

Trimmed mean =  \frac{\text{Sum of Trimmed Set}}{\text{Total number of observations}} = \frac{4097}{40} = 102.42

25% Trimmed Mean: We remove 12 values from each side.

Trimmed set =  66 67 69 71 73 77 78 79 82 85 86 89 91 93 97 99 101 105 106 106 112 117 124 135 139 141

Trimmed mean =  \frac{\text{Sum of Trimmed Set}}{\text{Total number of observations}} = \frac{2488}{26} = 95.69

Given that g(x)=x-3/x+4 find each of the following.
maks197457 [2]

Given that the function g(x)=x-3/x+4, the evaluation gives:

  1. g(9) = 6/13.
  2. g(3) = 0.
  3. g(-4) = undefined.
  4. g(-18.75) = 1.07.
  5. g(x+h) = x+h-3/x+h+4

<h3>How to evaluate the function?</h3>

In this exercise, you're required to determine the value of the function g at different intervals. Thus, we would substitute the given value into the function and then evaluate as follows:

When g = 9, we have:

g(x)=x-3/x+4

g(9) = 9-3/9+4

g(9) = 6/13.

When g = 3, we have:

g(x)=x-3/x+4

g(3) = 3-3/3+4

g(3) = 0/13.

g(3) = 0.

When g = -4, we have:

g(x)=x-3/x+4

g(-4) = -4-3/-4+4

g(-4) = -1/0.

g(-4) = undefined.

When g = -18.75, we have:

g(x)=x-3/x+4

g(-18.75) = -18.75-3/-18.75+4

g(-18.75) = -15.75/-14.75.

g(-18.75) = 1.07.

When g = x+h, we have:

g(x)=x-3/x+4

g(x+h) = x+h-3/x+h+4
