The test scores on a 100-point test were recorded for 20 students:71 93 91 86 7573 86 82 76 5784 89 67 62 7277 68 65 75 84a. Can

you reasonably assume that these test scores have been selected from a normal population? Use a stem and leaf plot to justify your answer.b. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the scores.c.

Answer: a. Yes

              b. mean = 76.65

                  standard deviation = 10.04

              c. 76.65 ± 4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

a. <u>Stem</u> <u>and</u> <u>leaf</u> <u>Plot</u> shows the frequencies with which classes of value occur. To create this plot, we divide the set of numbers into 2 columns: <u>stem</u>, the left column, which contains the tens digits; <u>leaf</u>, the right column, which contains the unit digits.

<u>Normal</u> <u>distribution</u> is a type of distribution: it's a bell-shaped, symmetrical, unimodal distribution.

A stem and leaf plot displays the main features of the distribution. If turned on its side, we can see the shape of the data.

The figure below shows the stem and leaf plot of the 100-point test score. As we can see, when turned, the plot resembles bell-shaped distribution. So, this test scores were selected from a normal population.

b. <u>Mean</u> is the average number of a data set. It is calculated as the sum of all the data divided by the quantity the sample has:

mean = \frac{\Sigma x}{n}

For the 100-point test score:

mean = \frac{71+93+91+...+65+75+84}{20}

mean = 76.65

<u>Standard</u> <u>Deviation</u> determines how much the data is dispersed from the mean. It is calculated as:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma (x-mean)^{2}}{n-1} }

For the 100-point test score:

s=\sqrt{\frac{[(71-76.65)+(93-76.65)+...+(84-76.65)]^{2}}{20-1} }

s = 10.04

The mean and standard deviation of the scores are 76.65 and 10.04, respectively.

c. <u>Confidence</u> <u>Interval</u> is a range of values we are confident the real mean lies.

The calculations for the confidence interval is

mean ± z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

where

z is the z-score for the 95% confidence interval, which is equal 1.96

Calculating interval

76.65 ± 1.96.\frac{10.04}{\sqrt{20} }

76.65 ± 4.4

The 95% confidence interval for the average test score in the population of students is between 72.25 and 81.05.

The oblique pyramid has a square base. What is the volume of the pyramid? 2.5 cm3 5 cm3 6 cm3 7.5 cm3
Olenka [21]

Take a look at the attachment below. It fills in for the attachment that wasn't provided in the question -

An oblique pyramid is one that has a top not aligned with the base. Due to this, the height of the pyramid connects with two vertices at its ends to form a right angle present outside the pyramid, knowing that it is always perpendicular to the base. There is no difference between the calculations of the volume of an oblique pyramid and a pyramid however -

\\Base Area = 2 cm * 2 cm = 4 cm^2,\\Volume ( Pyramid ) = 1 / 3 * ( Base Area ) * ( Height ),\\Volume = 1 / 3 * ( 4 ) * ( 3.75 ),\\-------------------------\\Volume = 5 cm^3

<u><em>And thus, you're solution is 5 cm^3, or in other words option b!</em></u>

A car has mass 1500 kg and is traveling at a speed of 35 miles/hour. what is its kinetic energy in joules? (Be sure to convert m
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Factor by which kinetic energy increase = 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

  • Mass of the car, v1 = 1500 kg
  • initial speed of car = 35 miles/h

                               =\dfrac{35\times 1609.34}{3600}\ m/s

                               = 15.64 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of the car is given by,

k_1\ =\ \dfrac{1}{2}.m.v_1^2

       =\ \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1500\times (15.64)^2\ joule

       = 183606.46 J

  • Final velocity of car v2 = 70 miles/hour

                                      =\dfrac{70\times 1609.34}{3600}

                                      = 31.29 m/s

So, final kinetic energy of car is given by

k_2\ =\ \dfrac{1}{2}.m.v_2^2

        =\ \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1500\times (31.29)^2

        = 734425.84 J

Now, the ratio of final to initial kinetic energy can be given by,

\dfrac{k_2}{k_1}=\ \dfrac{734425.84}{183606.46}

=>\ k_2\ =\ 4k_1                      

Hence, the kinetic energy will increase by 4 times.

Help plz<br><br> What different and similar between Rectangle and square
podryga [215]
The major difference between square and rectangle is that a square has all its sides equal whereas a rectangle has its opposite sides equal. In Geometry, we have learnt different types of shapes such as square, rectangle, cube, cone, cylinder, parallelogram, rhombus, and so on.

Definition of Square and Rectangle
Square: A square is a closed two-dimensional plane figure with four sides. All the four sides of the square are of equal measure. Also, the four interior angles of a quadrilateral are of 9o degrees. In other words, a square is considered as a quadrilateral or a 4-sided polygon. Since all the angles are of equal measure, it is considered as an equiangular quadrilateral.

Rectangle: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four sides. The opposite side of a rectangle is parallel to each other. It means that the opposite faces of the rectangle are of equal measure. A rectangle has four angles, each measuring about 90 degrees. As like square, a rectangle is also called an equiangular quadrilateral.

At a jewelry store, the price p of a gold necklace varies directly with its length l. Also, the weight w of a necklace varies di
slega [8]

Since p varies directly with l,

p = kl     (1)

Also, since w varies directly with l,

w = ml  

or, l = w/m

Substitute in (1), we get,

p = k (w/m)

= (k/m) w

So, the price varies directly with weight.
