What is the focus of the parabola? <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20-x%2B3" id="Te

We know that
the equation of the parabola is of the form
y=ax²+bx+c
in this problem
y=1/4x²−x+3
where
a=1/4
b=-1
c=3
the coordinates of the focus are
(-b/2a,(1-D)/4a)
where D is the discriminant b²-4ac
D=(-1)²-4*(1/4)*3-----> D=1-3---> D=-2
therefore
x coordinate of the focus
-b/2a----> 1/[2*(-1/4)]----> 2

y coordinate of the focus
(1-D)/4a------> (1+2)/(4/4)---> 3

the coordinates of the focus are (2,3)

Calculate the sample mean and sample variance for the following frequency distribution of heart rates for a sample of American a

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$Mean = 68.9$

$s^2 =18.1$ --- Variance

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{cccccc}{Class} & {51-58} & {59-66} & {67-74} & {75-82} & {83-90} \ \\ {Frequency} & {6} & {3} & {11} & {13} & {4} \ \end{array}$

Solving (a): Calculate the mean.

The given data is a grouped data. So, first we calculate the class midpoint (x)

For 51 - 58.

$x = \frac{1}{2}(51+58) = \frac{1}{2}(109) = 54.5$

For 59 - 66

$x = \frac{1}{2}(59+66) = \frac{1}{2}(125) = 62.5$

For 67 - 74

$x = \frac{1}{2}(67+74) = \frac{1}{2}(141) = 70.5$

For 75 - 82

$x = \frac{1}{2}(75+82) = \frac{1}{2}(157) = 78.5$

For 83 - 90

$x = \frac{1}{2}(83+90) = \frac{1}{2}(173) = 86.5$

So, the table becomes:

$\begin{array}{cccccc}{x} & {54.5} & {62.5} & {70.5} & {78.5} & {86.5} \ \\ {Frequency} & {6} & {3} & {11} & {13} & {4} \ \end{array}$

The mean is then calculated as:

$Mean = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

$Mean = \frac{54.5*4+62.5*3+70.5*11+78.5*13+86.5*4}{6+3+11+13+4}$

$Mean = \frac{2547.5}{37}$

$Mean = 68.9$ -- approximated

Solving (b): The sample variance:

This is calculated as:

$s^2 =\frac{\sum (x - \overline x)^2}{\sum f - 1}$

So, we have:

$s^2 =\frac{(54.5-68.9)^2+(62.5-68.9)^2+(70.5-68.9)^2+(78.5-68.9)^2+(86.5-68.9)^2}{37 - 1}$

$s^2 =\frac{652.8}{36}$

$s^2 =18.1$ -- approximated

A clothing store charges $30 for 12 pairs of socks. A student says that the unit price is $0.40 per pair. What is the error? Wha

yulyashka [42]

Their error is that they divided 12 by 30, instead of 30 by 12 in order to get the price per pair

the correct unit price is $2.50 per pair

2.5 * 12 = 30

there are 36 capenters in a crew. Ona certain day,29 were present .What percent showed up for work?[round to the nearest tenth

aliina [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume, that the number 36 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 36, so we can write it down as 100%=36.

4. We know, that x% equals 29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=36

2) x%=29

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=36/29

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29 is what percent of 36

100%/x%=36/29

(100/x)*x=(36/29)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.24137931034*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.24137931034) to get x

100/1.24137931034=x

80.5555555556=x

x=80.5555555556

now we have:

29 is 80.5555555556% of 36 to the nearest tenth is 81%
