A college statistics class conducted a survey of how students spend their money. They asked 25 students to estimate how much mon

ey they typically spend each week on fast food. They determined that the mean amount spent on fast food each week is $31.52 and the median is $32. Later they realized that a value entered as $2 should have been $20. They recalculate the mean and the median. Which of the following is true? Group of answer choices
a. The mean and median will increase.
b. The mean will increase, but the median will remain the same.
c. The mean will stay the same, but the median will increase.
d. Both the mean and median will remain the same.

Answer:

The correct option is B, indicating that while the mean will rise, the median will remain unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided

The mean value is 31.52 dollars

The median value is 32 dollar.

The mean is calculated as the average of all values in a dataset. Alteration to any number will affect the mean.

Currently, the mean stands at 31.25

Total sums to 31.25 * 25 = 781.25\\

Changing one number from 2 to 20 means an addition of 18 dollars

therefore, the updated mean will be 781.25 + 18/25 = 31.97

Still, the median represents the central value in the arrangement. Therefore, it remains unaffected.

Thus, option B is accurate

You are painting a room. After 18 minutes, 64% of the room still needs painted. How long does it take to paint the entire room?
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

A) The total duration needed to paint the room is 50 minutes.

B) To paint 64% of the room takes 32 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as:

After 18 minutes, 64% of the room still requires painting.

Therefore, within 18 minutes, (100% - 64% = 36%) of the room has been painted

Let T minutes be the total time required to paint the entire room.

Now, according to the question

A ) Using the unitary method

∵ In total, 36% of the room is covered in 18 minutes

Thus, in total time of \dfrac{18}{36} minutes, 1% of the complete room is painted.Consequently, 100% of the room would be painted in \dfrac{18}{36} × 100 minutes

i.e T = \dfrac{18\times 100}{36}

Thus, T = 50 min

Therefore, the duration needed to paint the entire room = T = 50 minutes

Thus, the time required to finish painting the entire room is 50 minutes. Answer

B) Again

Time taken to paint 64% of the room = x minutes

∵ 36% of the room has been painted in a total of 18 minutes

Thus, 1% of the entire room gets painted in \dfrac{18}{36} minutes

Consequently, painting 64% of the room will take \dfrac{18}{36} × 64 minutes

i.e x = \dfrac{18\times 64}{36}

Thus, x = 32 min

Therefore, the required time for painting 64% of the entire room = x = 32 minutes

Thus, the time required to paint 64% of the room amounts to 32 minutes. Answer

How many possible values for y are there where y = cos^-1 0?
Zina [12379]

The potential values for y areinfinite

Further clarification

Trigonometry is a branch of math focused on the connections between the sides and angles of triangles.

Considering special angles of trigonometric functions, for instance

\displaystyle sin~0=0\\\\cos~30=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{3}\\\\tan~45=1\\\\sec~45=\sqrt{2}\\\\etc.

In the equation y = cos⁻¹ 0, the value of y can be derived as follows:

y = cos⁻¹0

y = arc cos 0

cos y = 0

Thus, the resulting value of y:

\displaystyle \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{3}{2}\pi,\frac{5}{2}\pi, etc

Alternatively, it can be expressed as:

\displaystyle y=\frac{\pi }{2} (2n-1) ⇒ y: arithmetic sequence

So there are infinite solutions for y

44 students completed some homework and the histogram shows information about the times taken. Work out an estimate of the inter
tester [12383]

1.4×5=7

0.8×10=8

1.4×10=14

1×15=15

15+14+8+7=44

44÷4=11

LQ of 44=11

LQ=10 minutes

11×3=33

UQ= 29 minutes

The Range is 19 minutes

Detailed breakdown:

Commence with the individual boxes. For determining the number of students in each category, calculate Frequency density × The difference in the category. (if it's 5-15, the difference is 10)

This results in the counts of students in each range.

Next, determine the LQ of 44, which is 11.

Then locate the 11th student's score; in this instance, it resides in the 5-15 range. 7 students have already surpassed it, with 8 in the 5-15 range. Hence, the 11th lies within the bounds of 5-15, making the middle 10.

Repeat this process for the UQ.

The interquartile range is calculated as UQ-LQ, yielding 29-10=19 minutes.

I hope this helps, though I'm not entirely sure if my explanation is coherent and I'm unclear on the terminology I've used for these categories.

Ann and Bill play rock-paper-scissors. Each has a strategy of choosing uniformly at random out of the three possibilities every
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

a) Ann has a 1/3 chance of winning in the first round

b) The chance of Ann winning for the first time in the fourth round is 8/81

c) The probability that Ann's first win occurs after the fourth round is 16/81

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Each strategy is played with a probability of 1/3. Given any strategy, there’s a 1/3 chance that Bill will choose the strategy that allows Ann to win. Consequently, the probability of Ann securing a victory in the first round (or any round) is

1/3 * 1/3 + 1/3 * 1/3 + 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 = 1/3.

Thus, the likelihood of Ann winning the initial round is 1/3.

b) The chances of Ann winning a round stand at 1/3; therefore, her chances of not winning are 2/3. This must happen three times before her first victory. Thus, the probability that Ann's first win occurs in the fourth round is

(2/3)³ * 1/3 = 8/81.

c) The first victory happens after the fourth round if she remains unsuccessful in the first four rounds, translating to a possibility of (2/3)⁴ = 16/81.

If 6 components are drawn at random from the container, the probability that at least 4 are not defective is . If 8 components a
Svet_ta [12734]
The question is missing some information. It should be phrased as follows:

<span><span>A container has 50 electronic components, with 10 identified as defective. If 6 components are randomly selected from the container, what is the probability that at least 4 of them are not defective? Additionally, if 8 components are drawn at random from the container, what is the probability that exactly 3 are defective?

</span>Answers
<span>Part 1.  0.02
Part 2. </span></span>0.0375<span><span>

</span>Explanation
Probability denotes the likelihood of an event occurring. It is computed as:
probability = (Number of favorable outcomes)/(Number of total outcomes)

Part 1
When 6 components are chosen, if 4 are confirmed functioning, then 2 must be defective.
P(at least 4 functional) = 4/40</span>× 2/10
                                            = 1/10 × 1/5
                                            = 1/50
                                            = 0.02

Part 2
Choosing 8 components, if 3 are defective, then 5 are functioning.
P(3 defective) = 3/40 × 5/10
                             = 15/400
                             = 3/80
                            = 0.0375
