Answer:

$Range = 16$

$Inter\ Quartile\ Range = 6.75$

$Variance = 20.44$

$Standard\ Deviation = 4.52$

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided

4, 17, 12, 9, 6, 10, 1, 5, 9, 3

Calculating the range;

$Range = Highest - Lowest$

From the data provided;

The highest value is 17 and the lowest is 1

Thus;

$Range = 17 - 1$

$Range = 16$

Calculating the inter-quartile range

The inter-quartile range (IQR) is computed as follows

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

Where

Q3 = Upper Quartile and Q1 = Lower Quartile

Start by sorting the data in ascending order

1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 9, 10, 12, 17

N = Total data points; N = 10

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calculating Q3

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(N+1) th\ item$

Substituting 10 for N

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(10+1) th\ item$

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(11) th\ item$

Expressing 8.25 as 8 + 0.25 $Q_3 = \frac{33}{4} th\ item$

$Q_3 = 8.25 th\ item$

Converting 0.25 into fractions

$Q_3 = (8 + 0.25) th\ item$

$Q_3 = 8th\ item + 0.25 th\ item$

From the ordered dataset;

$Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} th\ item$ and

$Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} (9th\ item - 8th\ item)$

$8th\ item = 10$ $9th\ item = 12$

$Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} (9th\ item - 8th\ item)$

$Q_3 = 10 +\frac{1}{4} (12 - 10)$

$Q_3 = 10 +\frac{1}{4} (2)$

$Q_3 = 10 +0.5$

$Q_3 = 10.5$

Calculating Q1

Substituting 10 for N

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(N+1) th\ item$

Expressing 2.75 as 2 + 0.75

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(10+1) th\ item$

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(11) th\ item$

$Q_1 = \frac{11}{4} th\ item$

$Q_1 = 2.75 th\ item$

Converting 0.75 into fractions

$Q_1 = (2 + 0.75) th\ item$

$Q_1 = 2nd\ item + 0.75 th\ item$

From the arranged dataset;

and $Q_1 = 2nd\ item +\frac{3}{4} th\ item$

$Q_1 = 2nd\ item +\frac{3}{4} (3rd\ item - 2nd\ item)$

$2nd\ item = 3$ $3rd\ item = 4$

$Q_1 = 3 +\frac{3}{4} (4 - 3)$

$Q_1 = 3 +\frac{3}{4} (1)$

$Q_1 = 3 +0.75$

$Q_1 = 3.75$

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember that

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

$IQR = 10.5 - 3.75$

$IQR = 6.75$

Calculating Variance

Begin by determining the mean

$Mean = \frac{1+3+4+5+6+9+9+10+12+17}{10}$

$Mean = \frac{76}{10}$

$Mean = 7.6$

Then subtract the mean from each value and square the differences

$(1 - 7.6)^2 = (-6.6)^2 = 43.56$

$(3 - 7.6)^2 = (-4.6)^2 = 21.16$

$(4 - 7.6)^2 = (-3.6)^2 = 12.96$

$(5 - 7.6)^2 = (-2.6)^2 = 6.76$

$(6 - 7.6)^2 = (-1.6)^2 = 2.56$

$(9 - 7.6)^2 = (1.4)^2 = 1.96$

$(9 - 7.6)^2 = (1.4)^2 = 1.96$

$(10 - 7.6)^2 = (2.4)^2 = 5.76$

$(12 - 7.6)^2 = (4.4)^2 = 19.36$

$(17 - 7.6)^2 = (9.4)^2 = 88.36$

Sum up the squared results

$43.56 + 21.16 + 12.96 + 6.76 + 2.56 + 1.96 + 1.96 + 5.76 + 19.36 + 88.36 = 204.4$

Then divide that sum by the total number of observations;

$Variance = \frac{204.4}{10}$

$Variance = 20.44$

Calculating Standard Deviation (SD)

$SD = \sqrt{Variance}$

$SD = \sqrt{20.44}$

$SD = 4.52$ (Approximated)

PIT_PIT [12445]

The question appears to be incomplete. Here’s the complete inquiry:

Samir is quite skilled with the gun. When he targets a specific aim at the shooting range, he has a 0.95 probability of striking it. On one occasion, Samir sets out to shoot 10 targets consecutively.

If he has the same chance of hitting each of the 10 targets, what is the likelihood that he will miss at least one?

Response:

40.13%

Step-by-step breakdown:

Let 'A' represent the event of successfully hitting all targets in 10 trials.

The complement of 'A' is $\overline A=\textrm{Missing a target at least once}$

Now, since Samir has a consistent probability of hitting each target at 0.95.

Now, $P(A)=0.95^{10}=0.5987$

We know that the combined probability of an event and its complement equals 1.

<pThus, $P(A)+P(\overline A)=1\\\\P(\overline A)=1-P(A)\\\\P(\overline A)=1-0.5987\\\\P(\overline A)=0.4013=40.13\%$

Consequently, the probability that he misses at least one target among 10 attempts is 40.13%.

tester [12383]

Answer:

AC and OA

Step-by-step explanation:

-A secant refers to a line that intersects two points on a circle.

-We have a square OABC with each side measuring 6cm and a circle with radius r=5cm, centered at O. The circle's radius is shorter than the side of the square:

-The circle intersectsOA andOC, while it does not intersect AB and BC.

Therefore, AC and OA serve as secants for the circle.

6a−3b=5b solve for a:b ratio plz help

babunello [11817]

Add 3b to both sides, then simplify. Next, divide both sides by 6 and simplify it further, leading to the result of a = 4b/3.

I am hesitant to provide a definite answer since I'm not completely certain, but it's clear you can discard options C and D right away since the rate of change cannot be negative. Between options A and B, I would lean towards option B. I would have asked you to consider me the brainliest if I were correct, but I suspect this is for the IA4, where you're unable to check your grade... haha. Apologies, but I hope this assists you in some way!

Leona [12618]

Answer:

a) Slope: $\hat \beta_1 =\frac{7625.9}{1248.9}=6.106$

Intercept: $\hat \beta_o = 157.955 -6.106 (69.686)=-267.548$

b) $r=\frac{7625.9}{\sqrt{[1248.9][94228.8]}}=0.657$

Additionally, the coefficient of determination is $r^2 = 0.657^2 =0.432$

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions and data provided

The correlation coefficient is a measure that quantifies the strength of the relationship between two variable movements, denoted as r and ranging between -1 and 1.

The sum of squares refers to the total of the squared deviations, where deviation is defined as the difference between each value and the grand mean.

When performing multiple regression, the aim is to analyze the relationship between multiple independent variables and one dependent variable.

n=110, $\sum x_i y_i = \sum (X-\bar X)(Y-\bar Y) =7625.9,\sum x^2_i=\sum (x-\bar x)^2 =1248.9, sum y^2_i=\sum(y-\bar y)^2 =94228.8$

$\sum Y_i =17375, \sum X_i = 7665.5$

Part a

The slope can be calculated using this formula:

$\hat \beta_1 =\frac{\sum (x-\bar x) (y-\bar y)}{\sum (x-\bar x )^2}$

Following the substitutions, we have:

$\hat \beta_1 =\frac{7625.9}{1248.9}=6.106$

The intercept can be determined with this formula:

$\hat \beta_o = \bar y -\hat \beta_1 \bar x$

Average values for x and y can be calculated this way:

$\bar X=7665.5/110 =69.686, \bar y= 17375/110=157.955$

Replacing yields:

$\hat \beta_o = 157.955 -6.106 (69.686)=-267.548$

Part b

The correlation coefficient can be calculated using the following formula:

$r=\frac{\sum (x-\bar x)(y-\bar y) }{\sqrt{[\sum (x-\bar x)^2][\sum(y-\bar y)^2]}}$

In our situation:

n=110, $\sum x_i y_i = \sum (X-\bar X)(Y-\bar Y) =7625.9,\sum x^2_i=\sum (x-\bar x)^2 =1248.9, sum y^2_i=\sum(y-\bar y)^2 =94228.8$

We can compute the correlation coefficient by substituting values:

$r=\frac{7625.9}{\sqrt{[1248.9][94228.8]}}=0.657$

The coefficient of determination is $r^2 = 0.657^2 =0.432$
