A survey was conducted from a random sample of 8225 Americans, and one variable that was recorded for each participant was their

answer to the question, "How old are you?" The mean of this data was found to be 42, while the median was 37. What does this tell you about the shape of this distribution?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A survey of 8225 Americans included age data collection.

The mean age was recorded as 42, whereas the median was noted as 37.

This indicates median < mean.

When the mean exceeds the median, it suggests the presence of right skewness in the data.

In a symmetrical distribution, mean and median align. If there is a discrepancy, the distribution is skewed.

Consequently, with the mean > median, the data is skewed to the right.

Find the standard deviation of the following data. Answers are rounded to the nearest tenth. 5, 5, 6, 12, 13, 26, 37, 49, 51, 56
Inessa [12570]

Response:

24.2 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Detailed breakdown:

The data type involved is ungrouped

standard deviation =√ [∑ (x-μ)² / n]

average (μ)=∑x/n

           = \frac{5+5+6+12+13+26+37+49+51+56+56+84}{12}

          =33.3

For the values 5, 5, 6, 12, 13, 26, 37, 49, 51, 56, 56, 84, the x-μ results will be

                   -28.3, -28.3, -27.3, -21.3, -7.3, 3.7, 15.7,17.7, 22.7,22.7,50.7

Calculating (x-μ)² gives: 800.89, 800.89, 745.29, 453.69, 53.29, 13.69, 246.49, 313.29, 515.29, 515.29, 2570.49

Then, ∑ (x-μ)² results in = 7028.59

Thus, standard deviation = √(7028.59 / 12)

                      =24.2

(a) 4 <span>(b) y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) </span>The most accurate assumption for the equation based on the general format for an ellipse is: [[TAG_3]]x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1 [[TAG_4]](a). An ellipse is symmetrical along both its major and minor axes. Thus, if you can calculate the area of the ellipse in one quadrant, multiplying that area by 4 will yield the total area of the ellipse, confirming the factor of 4 is accurate. [[TAG_5]] (b). The standard equation for an ellipse doesn't adequately represent a general function as it results in two y values for each x value. However, if we constrain ourselves to the positive square root, that issue can be resolved easily. Here’s how: [[TAG_6]] x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1 [[TAG_7]] x^2/16 + y^2/9 - 1 = 0 [[TAG_8]] x^2/16 - 1 = - y^2/9 [[TAG_9]] -(9/16)x^2 + 9 = y^2 [[TAG_10]] 9 - (9/16)x^2 = y^2 [[TAG_11]] sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) = y [[TAG_12]] y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)

Given the function f(x) = −5x2 − x + 20, find f(3). −28 −13 62 64
Leona [12618]

Answer:

Option (a) is the correct choice.

The result of the given function f(x)=-5x^2-x+20 at x = 3 is -28

Detailed explanation:

Provided: Function f(x)=-5x^2-x+20

We need to calculate the function's value at x = 3

Evaluate the specified function f(x)=-5x^2-x+20

As we are required to find the function's value at x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into the function f(x)

f(3)=-5(3)^2-(3)+20

Upon simplification, we get

f(x)=-45-3+20=-28

Thus, the value of the given function f(x)=-5x^2-x+20 at x = 3 is -28

Isaac drinks 8 glasses of water each day he say he will drink 2920 glasses of water in a year that has 365 days is the exact ans
tester [12383]
Isaac will indeed drink 2920 glasses of water in a year if he consumes 8 glasses daily. Step-by-step calculation: 365 multiplied by 8 gives 2920. 2920 divided by 365 equals 8. 2920 divided by 8 results in 365.
