Answer:

the first option

Step-by-step explanation:

really, just look at the table.

is the mean value (10.4) larger than the median (13.4) ?

I hope you can see right away that it is not.

and you can see they are not the same either.

so, all the answer options mentioning mean larger than median or equal to median can be ruled out right away.

so, it is between the first two options.

now think ! how do we draw number lines ? a coordinate axis ?

the smaller numbers left, the larger numbers right. the numbers grow from left to right.

the mean value is simply the sum of all measurements divided by the number of measurements (how many median were done). if that is smaller that the median (so, the Mean is left of the Median), it means that the majority of measurements had a result smaller (to the left) than the Median. so, it is skewed-left.

10. When you add the same number to both sides of an inequality, is the inequality still true? Explain how you know your stateme

avanturin [10]

The inequality is still true! If you add a number, say 5 to both sides of the following inequality, does anything change?

3 < 6

3 + 5 < 6 + 5

8 < 11

The inequality is still true. We know the statement holds for subtracting the same number because, in a way, addition and subtraction are pretty much the same operation. If I subtract 5 from both sides, I can think of it like "I add negative 5 to both sides" or something along those lines. It's kind of backwards thinking.

The weight of a small Starbucks coffee is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 330 grams and a standard deviati

just olya [345]

Answer:

Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 330, \sigma = 12$

a. Highest 20 percent

At least X

100-20 = 80

So X is the 80th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.842.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$0.842 = \frac{X - 330}{12}$

$X - 330 = 12*0.842$

$X = 340.1$

Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

Is (x +1) a factor of <br> f(x) = x3 + 2x2 −5x − 6 ?<br><br> Yes <br> No

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find it out by factoring but ill do it easier way.

(x + 1 ) = 0 put the first and second equation to 0

x = -1

x³ + 2x² - 5x - 6 = 0 Now plug in the x in the equation

(-1)³ + 2(-1)² - 5(-1) - 6 = 0

0 = 0

so (x + 1) is a factor.

A suncatcher has 6 sections. Each section is in the shape of a parallelogram witha base of 12 cm and a height of 8 cm. What is t

jonny [76]

Answer:

576 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of sections in a suncatcher (n) = 6

Each section is in the shape of a parallelogram.

Base of parallelogram = 12 cm

Height of parallelogram = 8 cm

Now, area of a parallelogram is given as:

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

Area of 1 parallelogram = 12 cm × 8 cm = 96 cm²

Now, there are 6 parallelogram shaped sections.

So, area of the sections = area of 1 section × total number of sections

∴ Area of 6 sections = 96 cm² × 6 = 576 cm²

Therefore, the total area of the sections of a suncatcher is 576 cm².

1. Four times a number minus twenty-one is the same as six times

Ganezh [65]

Answer: -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be y

Four times a number minus twenty-one can be written as:

(4 × y) - 21 = 4y - 21

Six times the number plus eleven can be written as:

(6 × y) + 11 = 6y + 11

Combining both equations will give:

4y - 21 = 6y + 11

4y - 6y = 11 + 21

-2y = 32

y = 32/-2

y = -16

The number is -16
