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

What is the unit value the 3 in 432 ?
lara [203]
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
It represent the tens of the number, therefore, it's unit value is 30

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
The place value chart is added in the attached image.

<u>Checking this chart, we would find that:</u>
first digit from the right is the units of the number
second digit from the right is the tens of the number
third digit from the right is the hundreds of the number

Comparing this with the nuber given, we would find that the 3 is in the tens position. Therefore, it unit value is 30.

<u>Another way to answer this is by breaking the number given as follows:</u>
432 = 400 + 30 + 2
We can note that the unit value of the 3 is 30

Hope this helps :)</span>

A storage container is rectangular and has a length of 15ft and a width of 4ft. It will hold 270 cubic feet of materials. What i
KonstantinChe [14]

Volume of a rectangular prism = l × w × h.

In this case,

V = 270 cubic feet

l = 15 feet

w = 4 ft

h = ?

Plug our values into the volume formula.

270 cubic feet = 15 feet × 4 feet × h.

Simplify the right side

270 = 60 × h.

Divide each side by 60.

4.5 = h

The height is 4.5 feet.
