Thus, the average is 72.97

We must deduct the mean from each number and square the result.
(65-72.97)^2= 63.5209
(68-72.97)^2=24.7009
(69-72.97)^2=15.7609
(70-72.97)^2=8.8209
(71-72.97)^2= 3.8809
(72-72.97)^2=0.9409
(90-72.97)^2=290.0209
(95-72.97)^2=485.3209

Next, we sum these new values (also taking their frequencies into account) and compute their average.
Sum the figures
63.5209+(2 •24.7009=49.4018)+(5•15.7609=78.8045)+(8•8.8209=70.5672)+(7•3.8809=27.1663)+(3•0.9409=2.8227)+(2•290.0209=580.0418)+(2•485.3209=970.6418)= 1,842.967
Then divide by the total number to determine the mean
1,842.967/ 30=61.43223333

The standard deviation is the square root of the average which equals
Square root of 61.43223333=7.837871735
Round it to the nearest tenth
The Standard Deviation is 7.8

A father lifts a toddler 1.5 m up in the air. The child gains 187.5 J of energy in her gravitational potential energy store as a
Svet_ta [12734]

The toddler weighs 12.5 kg.

In-depth explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is Ep=mgh where;

Ep=gravitational potential energy

m=mass of an object

g=gravitational field strength

h=height in meters

Given that; h= 1.5m, Ep=187.5J, g=10 N/kg then finding m;

Ep=mgh

187.5=m*10*1.5

187.5=15m

187.5/15 =15m/15

m=12.5 kg

James knows that when h walks, he takes about 120 steps per minute and that each step is 2.75 feet long. Which calculation is mo
babunello [11817]

Answer:

120*2.75*60/5280

= 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering James takes 120 steps in a minute, with 60 minutes in an hour and a mile consisting of 5,280 feet, we can establish his walking pace. By multiplying his steps per minute by the distance of each step (120 * 2.75), we determine the distance he covers in one minute. This value is then multiplied by 60 to account for the total hour. Finally, the total distance is divided by the feet in a mile (5,280), which results in a speed of 3.75 miles per hour. Thus, the calculation becomes 120*2.75*60/5280

The mass of a colony of bacteria, in grams, is modeled by the function P given by P(t)=2+5tan^−1.(t/2), where t is measured in d
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

1.21 g/day

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the fact that

The mass of the bacterial colony (in grams) is described by

P(t)=2+5tan^{-1}(\frac{t}{2})

Where t=Time(in days)

Next, we differentiate with respect to t

P'(t)=5(\frac{1}{1+\frac{t^2}{4}}\times \frac{1}{2})

Using the formula \frac{d(tan^{-1}(x)}{dx}=\frac{1}{1+x^2}

P'(t)=\frac{5}{2}(\frac{4}{4+t^2})

P'(t)=\frac{10}{4+t^2}

We know that P(t)=6

Now, substitute this value

6=2+5tan^{-1}(\frac{t}{2})

5tan^{-1}(\frac{t}{2})=6-2=4

tan^}{-1}(\frac{t}{2})=\frac{4}{5}

\frac{t}{2}=tan(\frac{4}{5})

t=2tan(\frac{4}{5})

Insert the given value of t

P'(2tan\frac{4}{5})=\frac{10}{4+4tan^2(\frac{4}{5})}

P'(2tan\frac{4}{5})=\frac{10}{4}\times \frac{1}{1+tan^2(\frac{4}{5})}

We understand that 1+tan^2\theta=sec^2\theta

Applying the formula

P'(2tan(\frac{4}{5})=\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{1}{sec^2(\frac{4}{5})}

P'(2tan\frac{4}{5})=\frac{5}{2}\times cos^2(\frac{4}{5})

By employing cos^2x=\frac{1}{sec^2x}

P'(2tan\frac{4}{5})=\frac{5}{2}\times (0.696)^2=1.21g/day

Consequently, the instantaneous rate at which the mass of the colony changes is=1.21g/day

Consider the graphs of f (x) = StartAbsoluteValue x EndAbsoluteValue + 1 and g (x) = StartFraction 1 Over x cubed EndFraction. T
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

We have defined functions:

f(x) = IxI + 1

g(x) = 1/x^3.

Currently, it is evident that the composite functions are not commutative.

How can we demonstrate this?

To determine if two composite functions are commutative, the following must hold true:

f(g(x)) = g(f(x))

One could apply brute force (simply substituting values to see if the composite functions commute),

but I will opt for a more sophisticated approach.

There are two notable observations:

g(x) has a point of discontinuity at x = 0.

Thus:

f(g(x)) = I 1/x^3 I + 1

remains discontinuous at x = 0, whereas:

g(f(x)) = 1/(IxI + 1)^3

shows that the denominator IxI + 1 can never reach zero.

At this point, there is no discontinuity.

Consequently, the composite functions cannot be commutative.
