a. There are more seniors than freshmen on the council.
b. A majority of the freshmen and a majority of the sophomores voted for the proposal.
c. There are 18 seniors on the council.
d. There are the same number of seniors and freshmen combined as there are sophomores and juniors combined.

Answer:

Option a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that all of the seniors and none of the freshmen voted for it.

Some of the juniors and some of the sophomores voted for the proposal and some voted against it.

If the proposal was to be adopted then a simple of majority of votes should have been cast.

Since all seniors voted for it, and no freshmen number of freshmen has to be less than seniors then only majority would have voted.

Regarding juniors and sophomores we assume some voted and some against thus approximately nullifying their votes.

So the correct option would be

a. There are more seniors than freshmen on the council.

Option b wrong since only some voted for it.

C is wrong because actual seniors were not given.

D is wrong because while seniors voted for sophomores voted against.

e is wrong since sophomores and freshmen nullified each other

1011+111 in binary form
Ann [662]

Answer:

10010

Step-by-step explanation:

1011=1(2)^3+0(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0

111=1(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0

So 1011+111 gives us:

1(2)^3+0(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0

+

1(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0

-----------------------------------------------------

Combine like terms:

1(2)^3+(0+1)(2)^2+(1+1)(2)^1+(1+1)(2)^0

1(2)^3+1(2)^2+(2)(2)^1+(2)(2)^0

We aren't allowed to have a coefficient bigger than 1.

I'm going to replace 2^0 with 1 and 2 with (2)^1:

1(2)^3+1(2)^2+(2)^2+(2)^1(1)

I want a 2^0 number:

1(2)^3+1(2)^2+1(2)^2+1(2)^1+0(2)^0

Combine like terms:

1(2)^3+2(2)^2+1(2)^1+0(2)^0

2(2)^2=2^3:

1(2)^3+2^3+1(2)^1+0(2)^0

Combine like terms:

2(2)^3+1(2)^1+0(2)^0

We can rewrite the first term by law of exponents:

2^4+1(2)^1+0(2)^0

1(2)^4+1(2)^1+0(2)^0

So the binary form is:

10010

Keep in mind 1+1=10 and that 1+1+1=11:

Setup:

      1     0     1      1

+            1      1      1

------------------------------

     (1)    (1)    (1)

      1     0     1      1

+            1      1      1

------------------------------

     1 0    0     1       0

I had to do some carry over with my 1+1=10 and 1+1+1=11.

In measuring the center of the data from a skewed distribution, the median would be preferred over the mean for most purposes be
icang [17]
<span>The median would be preferred over the mean in such scenarios because the median will lessen the impact of the outliers that fall within the "tail" of the skew. Therefore, if a curve is normally distributed, that is to say that data is normally distributed, there will be two tails, each with approximately equal proportions of outliers. Outliers in this case being more extreme numbers, and are based on your determination depending on how you are using the data. If data is skewed there is one tail, and therefore it may be an inaccurate measure of central tendency if you use the mean of the numbers. Thinking of this visually. In positively skewed data where there is a "tail" towards the right and a "peak" towards the left, the median will be placed more in the "peak", whereas the mean will be placed more towards the "tail", making it a poorer measure of central tendency, or the center of the data.</span>
