Answer:

1 Choosing Appropriate Measures

The dot plot shows the average number of hours students in a class

sleep each night.

6 7 8 9 10

Time (hours)

Amount of Sleep

a. What are the most appropriate measures to describe the center

and the variation?

Most of the data values are on the right clustered around 9, and the

tail extends to the left. The distribution is skewed left.

So, the median and the interquartile range are the most

appropriate measures to describe the center and the variation.

b. Describe the center and the variation of the data set.

The median is 8.5 hours. The fi rst quartile is 7.5, and the third

quartile is 9. So, the interquartile range is 9 − 7.5 = 1.5 hours.

The data are centered around 8.5 hours. The middle half of the

data varies by no more than 1.5 hours.

9(n+3)=7n-3 Help Me Find "X"
Y_Kistochka [10]
9(n+3)=7n-3

1) distribute 9 into (n+3)

9n+27=7n-3

2) subtract 7n on both sides

2n+27=-3

3) subtract 27 on both sides

2n=-30

4) divide by 2

n=-15

To get to school, Grayson usually walks 1.5 miles west and 0.8 miles north on the sidewalks. Because he is in a hurry, he has de
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Grayson has to walk 1.7 miles across the field.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have drawn the diagram for your reference.

Given:

Grayson usually walks 1.5 miles west on the side walks

According to Diagram we can say;

CA = 1.5 miles

Also Given:

Grayson also walks 0.8 miles north on the sidewalks

So According to Diagram we can say;

BA =0.8 miles

Now we need to find number of miles Grayson have to walk across the field.

According to diagram we can say;

We have to find CA.

Assuming the diagram  to be right angled triangle.

We can find CA using Pythagoras theorem.

{CA}^2 = {CB}^2+{BA}^2

Substituting the given values we get;

{CA}^2 =1.5^2+0.8^2 = 2.25 +0.64 =2.89

Taking square root on both side we get;

\sqrt{{CA}^2} = \sqrt{2.89} \\\\CA = 1.7 \ mi

Hence Grayson has to walk 1.7 miles across the field.

(PLEASE HELP) Question is worth 30 points:) The following function represents the production cost F(x) In dollars for x numbers
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

production cost f(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 1:

f(x) = 0.05x^2 − 7x + 300

2) Table that represents the production cost g(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 2:

x        g(x)

0.6     899.58

0.8     899.52

1        899.50

1.2     899.52

1.4     899.58

3) Comparison: do a table for f(x) with the same x-values of the table for g(x).

x            f(x) = 0.05x^2 − 7x + 300    g(x)

0.6         295.818                               899.58

0.8         294.432                               899.52

1            293.05                                 899.50

1.2         291.672                               899.52

1.4          290.298                              899.58

As you can see the values of f(x) are consistently lower than the values of g(x) for the same x-values.

The minimum production cost for company 2 is around 899.50 at x = 1, while the minimum production cost of company 1 is defintely lower (lower than 292.298 for sure, in fact if you find the vertex it is 55).

Answer: Based on the given information, the minimum production cost for company 2 is greater.
