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)

Kim is training for a long-distance marathon. Before training, she was able to run one mile in seven minutes. For each of the ne

Zina [12379]

Answer:

0.93 minute

Step-by-step explanation:

During the first week:

Kim ran = 1 mile

Duration for this distance = 1 minute

In the second week:

The distance covered by Kim = 1 mile

The time taken by Kim = 7% less compared to the first week

= 1 min - 0.07 min = 0.93 minute

<pSo, she completed 1 mile in 0.93 minute this week.

You toss a fair coin 10000 times. what are the odds of obtaining more than 5100 tails, approximately?

lawyer [12517]

This problem can be addressed by applying the normal approximation to a binomial distribution.
Calculations:
Mean (μ) = np = 10,000 × 0.5 = 5,000
The standard deviation (σ) is given by:
$S.D.= \sqrt{npq} = \sqrt{5000\times0.5} =50$
$z=\frac{5100-5000}{50}=2$
The probability of obtaining more than 5,100 tails is 0.0228, whereas the probability of fewer than 5,100 tails is 0.9772.
Thus, the odds of having more than 5,100 tails are:
0.0228 : 0.9772 = 1 : 42.86.

F(x) = -4x(2)+ 12x – 9

AnnZ [12381]

For this context, we examine the function:

$f (x) = - 4x ^ 2 + 12x-9$

$y = 0$ presented as:

$-4x ^ 2 + 12x-9 = 0$

The definition of the discriminant in a quadratic equation is provided by:

$a = -4\\b = 12\\c = -9$

Sentences correspond to the types of roots: Different real roots, equal real roots, or distinct complex roots

$d = b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)$

$d> 0:$ Upon substituting the provided values, we arrive at

$d = 0:$

$d$

This indicates that there are two equal real roots.

To discover the intersections along the x-axis, we apply the quadratic formula: $d = (12) ^ 2-4 (-4) (- 9)\\d = 144-144$

$d = 0$

Plugging in the values yields: $y = 0:$

$-4x ^ 2 + 12x-9 = 0$

The intersection on the x-axis is

$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}$

$x = \frac {-12 \pm \sqrt {12 ^ 2-4 (-4) (- 9)}} {2 (-4)}\\x = \frac {-12 \pm \sqrt {144-144}} {- 8}\\x = \frac {-12 \pm0} {- 8}\\x = \frac {-12} {- 8}\\x = \frac {3} {2}$

$(\frac {3} {2}, 0)$
