The following ten scores were obtained on a 20-point quiz: 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, 18, and 20. The teacher computed the usua

l descriptive measures of center (central tendency) and variability (dispersion) for these data, and then discovered an error was made. One of the 18's should have been a 16. Which one of the following measures, calculated on the corrected data, would change from the original computation?

Answer:

The mean, the mode , the standard deviation and the variance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of central tendency we use here is the mean and the dispersion its variance. Now, the mean is given by x =∑x₁/n where x₁ is the individual value and n the total number of values. Let p be the sum of the other nine number excluding the last number which is either 16 or 18. The sum of the ten numbers including 16 is q = p + 16 and the mean of these number μ₁ = ∑x/n = q/n = (p + 16)/n= p/n + 16/n. Let r be the sum of the ten numbers including 18. So, r = p + 18. The mean of these number μ₂ = ∑x/n = r/n = (p + 18)/n= p/n + 18/n. Since n = 10, μ₁ = p/10 + 1.6 and μ₂ = p/10 + 1.8.

p = 4 + 5 + 8 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 20 = 103. So, μ₁ = p/10 + 1.6 = 103/10 + 1.6 = 11.9 and μ₂ = p/10 + 1.8 = 103/10 + 1.8 = 12.1 .So, the mean are different.

We now check if the variance is σ² = ∑(x₁ - μ)²/n. We now compute the variance for the two set of data. σ₁ and μ₁ are original variance and mean, while σ₂ and μ₂ are final variance and mean. σ²₁ = [(4 - 12.1)² + (5 - 12.1)² + (8 - 12.1)² + (9 - 12.1)² + (11 - 12.1)² + (13 - 12.1)² + (15 - 12.1)² + (18 - 12.1)² + (18 - 12.1)² + (20 - 12.1)²]/10 = [65.61 + 50.41 + 16.81 + 9.61 + 1.21 + 0.81 + 8.41 + 34.81 + 34.81 + 62.41]/10 = 284.9/10 = 28.49

σ²₂ = [(4 - 11.9)² + (5 - 11.9)² + (8 - 11.9)² + (9 - 11.9)² + (11 - 11.9)² + (13 - 11.9)² + (15 - 11.9)² + (16 - 11.9)² + (18 - 11.9)² + (20 - 11.9)²]/10 = [62.41 + 47.61 + 15.21 + 8.41 + 0.81 + 1.21 +9.61 + 16.81 + 37.21 + 65.61]/10 = 264.9/10=26.49 . Since, σ₁² =  28,49 ≠ σ₂² = 26.49, the variance changes.

So, both the mean and the variance change from the original data. The median = (11 + 13)/2 = 24/2 = 12 remains the same. The range = 20 - 4 = 15 remains the same. The mode also changes since we now have only one 18. The standard deviation also changes since S.D = √σ² = σ. σ₁ = 5.34 and σ₂ = 5.15

musickatia [10]

Answer:

1. 900

2. 350

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula,

A= P(1+rt)

A= final amount

P= starting amount

r= intrest rate

t= time

1. A=750(1+.05*4)

A=750(1.2)

A=900

2. A=1500(1+.1*2)

A=1500(1.1)

A=1650

But theyre

asking for how much intrest will they get back, so you subtract the new amount by the starting amount to find how much intrest was earned

1650-1500=350

Find the surface area of the triangular prism. A triangular prism. The base is a right triangle with base 1 foot, height 2 feet
mylen [45]

Answer:

<h2>17.6ft²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the surface area of a triangular prism is expressed as shown below:

SA= bh + pH

b= base of the triangle

h- height of the triangle

p= perimeter of the triangle

H= height of the prism

Given b = 1foot

h = 2feet

perimeter of the triangle = sum of all its sides = 1ft + 2ft + 2.2ft

p = 5.2ft

H = 3ft

Substituting the values into the formula for finding the surface area:

SA = 1(2)+5.2(3)

SA = 2+15.6

SA = 17.6ft²

The surface area of the triangular prism is  17.6ft²

In the derivation of the quadratic formula by completing the square, the equation (x+b over 2a)^2=-4ac+b^2 over 4a^2 is created
vredina [299]

Answer:

The result of applying the square root property of equality to this equation is x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

\left(x+\dfrac{b}{2a}\right)^2=\dfrac{-4ac+b^2}{4a^2}

As the above equation is formed by perfect square trinomial so simply applying the square root property as shown:

\sqrt{(x+\dfrac{b}{2a})^2}=\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{-4ac+b^2}}{\sqrt{4a^2}}\\x+\dfrac{b}{2a}=\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Isolate the variable x.

x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Hence, the result of applying the square root property of equality to this equation is x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

sample answer:   If you make a table of values, you can see that 4 quarters equal 1 dollar and 8 quarters equal 2 dollars. If you graph the data, you will see a straight line. Therefore, this situation represents a linear function with a constant rate of change of 1/4
