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.

Respuesta:

0.0143 = 1.43% de probabilidad de que los primeros 4 dígitos del código sean números pares.

Explicación paso a paso:

Arreglos de elementos n:

El número de arreglos posibles de n elementos se determina por:

A_{n} = n!

Probabilidad:

La probabilidad se calcula dividiendo el número de resultados deseados por el número total de resultados.

En esta pregunta:

Resultados deseados:

Los primeros cuatro dígitos son pares (2, 4, 6 y 8 son pares, así que se consideran 4 elementos).

Los últimos cuatro dígitos son impares (1, 3, 5 y 7 son impares, por lo que los últimos cuatro elementos son también arreglos de 4 elementos). Entonces

D = 4!*4! = 24*24 = 576

Resultados totales:

Arreglos de 8 dígitos. Así que

T = A_{8} = 8! = 40320

Probabilidad:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{576}{40320} = 0.0143

0.0143 = 1.43% de probabilidad de que los primeros 4 dígitos del código sean números pares.

Graph the image of the given triangle after the transformation with the rule (x, y)→(x, −y) .
Zina [12379]
To begin, we identify three corner points: A=(2,3), B=(6,8), and C=(7,4). We apply the transformation rule (x, y)→(x, −y), reflecting across the x-axis. This means we will invert the y-values. The new coordinates are: A=(2,-3), B=(6,-8), and C=(7,-4). Subsequently, we can plot these points and create a graph.
