Solnce55 [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

0.438

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

980.9, 1036.5, 1099.5, 1153.9, 1409.0, 1456.4, 1718.4, 1721.2

Coefficient of skewness:

3 * (mean - median) / standard deviation

The mean of the dataset :

Σ(X) / N ; N = sample size = 8

980.9+1036.5+1099.5+1153.9+1409.0+1456.4+1718.4+1721.2

= 10575.8 / 8

= 1321.975

Median :

980.9, 1036.5, 1099.5, 1153.9, 1409.0, 1456.4, 1718.4, 1721.2

1/2(n + 1)th term

1/2(9) = 4.5th term

(1153.9+1409.0) / 2

= 1281.45

Standard deviation:

Sqrt[Σ(X - mean)²/ (N - 1)]

Using calculator :

Standard deviation estimate of population = 277.882456

Coefficient of skewness :

3(1321.975 - 1281.45) / 277.882456

121.575 / 277.882456

= 0.4375051

= 0.4375

Using software excel :

Using excel's AVERAGE, MEDIAN and STDEV.P functions, the Coefficient of skewness can be obtained using the formula :

3 * (mean - median) / standard deviation

Coefficient of skewness obtained is 0.438

Is (-4, 2) a solution of 4x + 5y < -7?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the coordinates of the point into the left side of the inequality, evaluate and compare.

4(- 4) + 5(2) = - 16 + 10 = - 6 > - 7

Thus (- 4, 2 ) is not a solution

On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C has points (negative 2, negative 1), (negative 2, negative 3), (negative 5, negative 1). T
patriot [66]

Answer:

C'(4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Translated 6 units to the right means that the x-value increases by 6.

1 unit up means y-value increases by 1.

(-5 + 6, -1 + 1)

(-2 + 6, -1 + 1)

The second point must be C, as the translation lines it up with one of the answers.
