By adding a constant value to every salary amount, the measures of

central tendency are increased by the amount, while the measures of

dispersion, remains the same

The correct responses are;

(a) <u>The shape of the data remains the same</u>

(b) <u>The mean and median are increased by $1,000</u>

(c) <u>The standard deviation and interquartile range remain the same</u>

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Present teachers salary = Between $38,000 and $70,000

Amount of raise given to every teacher = $1,000

Required:

Effect of the raise on the following characteristics of the data

(a) Effect on the shape of distribution

The outline shape of the distribution will the same but higher by $1,000

(b) The mean of the data is given as follows;

\overline x = \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i)}{\sum f_i}

Therefore, following an increase of $1,000, we have;

 \overline x_{New} = \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot (x_i + 1000))}{\sum f_i} =  \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i + f_i \cdot 1000))}{\sum f_i} = \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i)}{\sum f_i} + \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot 1000)}{\sum f_i}

\overline x_{New} = \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i)}{\sum f_i} + \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot 1000)}{\sum f_i} = \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i)}{\sum f_i} + 1000 = \overline x + 1000

  • Therefore, the new mean, is equal to the initial mean increased by 1,000

Median;

Given that all salaries, x_i, are increased by $1,000, the median salary, x_{med}, is also increased by $1,000

Therefore;

  • The correct response is that the median is increased by $1,000

(c) The standard deviation, σ, is given by \sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i-\overline x  \right )^{2} }{n}};

Where;

n = The number of teaches;

Given that, we have both a salary, x_i, and the mean, \overline x, increased by $1,000, we can write;

\sigma_{new} =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left ((x_i + 1000) -(\overline x  + 1000)\right )^{2} }{n}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i + 1000 -\overline x  - 1000\right )^{2} }{n}}

\sigma_{new} = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i + 1000 -\overline x  - 1000\right )^{2} }{n}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i + 1000 - 1000 - \overline x\right )^{2} }{n}}

\sigma_{new} = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i + 1000 - 1000 - \overline x\right )^{2} }{n}} =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i-\overline x  \right )^{2} }{n}} = \sigma

Therefore;

\sigma_{new} = \sigma; <u>The standard deviation stays the same</u>

Interquartile range;

The interquartile range, IQR = Q₃ - Q₁

New interquartile range, IQR_{new} = (Q₃ + 1000) - (Q₁ + 1000) = Q₃ - Q₁ = IQR

Therefore;

  • <u>The interquartile range stays the same</u>

The perimeter of the rectangle is 22 meters, and the perimeter of the triangle is 12 meters. Find the dimensions of the rectangl
lianna [129]

Answer:

Length:8 m

Width:3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 22 meters, and the perimeter of a right triangle is 12 meters (the sides of the triangle are half the length of the rectangle, the width of the rectangle, and the hypotenuse is 5 meters). How do you solve for L and W, the dimensions of the rectangle.

step 1

<em>Perimeter of rectangle</em>

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

P=2(L+W)

we have

P=22\ m

so

22=2(L+W)

Simplify

11=L+W -----> equation A

step 2

Perimeter of triangle

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

P=\frac{L}{2}+W+5

P=12\ m

so

12=\frac{L}{2}+W+5

Multiply by 2 both sides

24=L+2W+10

L+2W=14 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (8,3)

see the attached figure

therefore

The dimensions of the rectangle are

Length:8 m

Width:3 m
