21. A college professor recorded the speed with which students ran out the door after class after taking the final exam (using a

radar gun) for each of the last 4 semesters. The histogram below shows the distribution of speed for 168 students. The maximum value is 18 mph.
The value, 18 mph, was actually supposed to be 8 mph and this error is corrected. Which of the following is true?

(A) The mean will change the same amount as than the median, and the range will change the same amount as the SD.
(B) The mean will change more than the median, and the range will change more than the SD.
(C) The median will change more than the mean, and the range will change more than the SD.
(D) The mean will change more than the median, and the SD will change more than the range.
(E) The median will change more than the mean, and the SD will change more than the range.

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is (B). Correcting the error will lead to a decrease in the mean, since 8 is less than 18, and it will also lower the standard deviation because the value of 8 is nearer to the mean compared to 18.

A student dropped a textbook from the top floor of his dorm and it fell according to the formula s(t) = −16t 2 + 8√t , where t i
Zina [9179]

Answer:

-29.61m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average speed of the pencil after dropping it for 2.8 seconds, we start with the fall distance equation for the student, s(t) = −16t² + 8√t. First, we differentiate this function since velocity is the rate of change of distance with respect to time, expressed as

V = d(s(t))/dt

s(t) = −16t² + 8t^1/2

V = -32t + 1/2(8)t^(1/2 - 1)

V = -32t + 4t^-1/2

To find the average speed, we substitute t = 2.8 into the derived equation since the pencil reaches the ground precisely after 2.8 seconds.

V = -32t + 4(2.8)^-1/2

V = -32 + 4/√2.8

V = -32 + 4/1.6733

V = -32 + 2.391

v = -29.61m/s

Thus, the average speed at which it fell is -29.61m/s

In three hours, Company ABC can make X ball bearings. Company DEF can make X ball bearings in 4 hours. Company GHI can make X ba
AnnZ [9104]

Answer:

X ball bearings can be produced in 1 hour and 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

Proportions serve as an essential method for solving various common challenges. We understand that:

Company ABC manufactures X ball bearings in 3 hours.

Company DEF produces X ball bearings in 4 hours.

Company GHI generates X ball bearings in 6 hours.

In a single hour, each company is capable of producing:

ABC: X/3 ball bearings

DEF: X/4 ball bearings

GHI: X/6 ball bearings

By collaborating, they can produce

\displaystyle \frac{X}{3}+\frac{X}{4}+\frac{X}{6}

ball bearings. Operating together

\displaystyle \frac{4X+3X+2X}{12}=\frac{9X}{12}=\frac{3X}{4}

If their output is 3/4 of a ball bearing in one hour, then it will take

\displaystyle \frac{4}{3} hours to create one complete ball bearing. This translates to 1 hour and 20 minutes.

X ball bearings can be produced in 1 hour and 20 minutes

What values of b satisfy 3(2b + 3)2 = 36?
Inessa [9006]
To determine the values of b that fulfill 3(2b+3)^2 = 36

we start with
3(2b+3)^2 = 36
Divide both sides by 3
(2b+3)^2 = 12
Next, take the square root of both sides
(2b+3)} = (+ /-) \sqrt{12} \\ 2b=(+ /-) \sqrt{12}-3

b1=\frac{\sqrt{12}}{2} -\frac{3}{2}
b1=\sqrt{3} -\frac{3}{2}

b2=\frac{-\sqrt{12}}{2} -\frac{3}{2}
b2=-\sqrt{3} -\frac{3}{2}
Thus,

the solutions for b are
b1=\sqrt{3} -\frac{3}{2}
b2=-\sqrt{3} -\frac{3}{2}

The value of x equals 60 degrees.

This is because alternate interior angles are equal by definition :)
