Answer:

Given:

A weight-loss clinic advertised that last month its patients, on average, lost 8 lbs

Average refers to mean

a. Last month all of their patients lost at least 8 lbs.

Answer: Mean or average is a measure of central tendency or in other terms refers to the central value of the dataset. If the value of mean/average is 8lb, it signifies that there are some patients who have lost weights more than 8 lbs. So, this statement is False

b. Last month at least one of their patients lost exactly 8 lbs.

Answer: It is a possibility that all the patients have lost their weights greater than or less than 8 lbs. Since the mean is computed by summing up all the values (weight loss in this case) by the total number of observations, it is possible that there can be no patient who has lost exactly 8lbs. So, this statement is False.

c. Two months ago some of their patients lost at least 8 lbs.

Answer: It is clearly mentioned that last month its patients, on average, lost 8 lbs. No information is given about the weight loss of patients before the last month. So, there is not sufficient data to check whether this statement is correct or not.

d. Last month at least one of their patients lost less than 3 lbs.

Answer: It is a possibility that all the patients have lost their weights greater than 3 lbs. Since the mean is computed by summing up all the values (weight loss in this case) by the total number of observations, it is possible that there can be no patient who has lost less than 3lbs. So, this statement is False.

e. Last month, the number of their clients who lost less than 8 lbs was equal to the number of their clients who lost more than 8 lbs.

Answer: Mean is a measure of central tendency which is computed by the diving sum of all observations with the number of all observations (the sum of observations lesser than the mean is compensated by the sum of observations greater than the mean) and for the mean equal to 8lbs, there should be an equal number of people who lost less than 8 lbs and the number of people who lost more than 8 lbs. Hence, this statement is True.

Answer e.Last month, the number of their clients who lost less than 8 lbs was equal to the number of their clients who lost more than 8 lbs is True

Mean Mode Median<br><br>12, 10 ,10, 13, 18, 9
Fiesta28 [93]

Mean: To find the mean you add all the numbers up and divide by the total number of factors.

12+10+10+13+18+9 = 72

72/6 = 12

Mode: To find the mode, we need to find the number that reoccurs the most in the sequence.

In this case it is 10 because it occurs twice, while the other factors occur once!

Median: To find median we need to arrange the numbers in numerical order. We then cross off one from each side until we come to the middle interger. If it comes between two numbers, you use the half way point between those two numbers.

9 10 10 12 13 18

In this case, we get left with 10 and 12. Meaning that our median is 11!

5/6k+2/3=4/3 <br> What is K? <br> I don't understand how to do these
Drupady [299]
First, subtract 2/3 from both sides and you get \frac{5}{6} k =  \frac{2}{3}
Then multiply both sides by 6/5 and you get k =  \frac{4}{5}

What's the slope and y-intercept?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Slope: 2; Y-Intercept: (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see from the graph, it rises 4 and runs 2. So, the slope is 2. It intersects the y axis at (0,3)

(a) Suppose one house from the city will be selected at random. Use the histogram to estimate the probability that the selected
Mila [183]

Answer:

a)   0.71

b)   0.9863

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given the mean prices of a house is $403,000 and the standard deviation is $278,000

-The probability the probability that the selected house is valued at less than $500,000 is obtained by summing the frequencies of prices below $500,000:

P(X

Hence, the probability of a house price below $500,000 is 0.71

b. -Let X be the mean price of a randomly selected house.

-Since the sample size 40 is greater than 30, we assume normal distribution.

-The probability can therefore be calculated as follows:

P(X

Thus, the probability  that the mean value of the 40 houses is less than $500,000 is 0.9863
