A government bureau keeps track of the number of adoptions in each region. The accompanying histograms show the distribution of

adoptions and the population of each region. ​a) What do the histograms say about the​ distributions? ​b) Why do the histograms look​ similar? ​c) What might be a better way to express the number of​ adoptions?

Answer:

A better option to express the results will be a cumulative frequency curve.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the moment, the moment, the question does not have a histogram, so we will explain the advantages of a frequency distribution curve or polygon.

The Cumulative Frequency Curve allows data to be interpreted continuously. The cumulative frequency prevents "gaps" that are found in the histograms. For instance, a histogram does not provide a frequency distribution of a certain type of data. In addition, the curves clarify better the trends in the data set. Furthermore, large data can be compressed and summarized in a compact form by using the distribution in the data set.

The time between failures for an electrical appliance is exponentially distributed with a mean of 25 months. What is the probabi
katrin [286]

Answer:

The probability that the next failure will not occur before 30 months have elapsed is 0.0454

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Poisson distribution  where

t= number of units of time

x= number of occurrences in t units of time

λ= average number of occurrences per unit of time

P(x;λt) = e raise to power (-λt)  multiplied by λtˣ divided by x!

here λt = 25

x= 30

P(x= 30) = 25³⁰e⁻²⁵/ 30!

P (x= 30) = 8.67 E41 * 1.3887 E-11/30!    (where E= exponent)

P (x=30) = 1.204 E31/30!

Solving it with a statistical calculator would give

P (x=30) = 0.0454

The probability that the next failure will not occur before 30 months have elapsed is 0.0454

A study analyzed the average yearly salt intake in the United States from 2012 thru 2017. The data is summarized in the table: Y
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of years since 2012

f(x) ---> is the total amount of salt ingested in grams

we have

f(x)=52.3x+3.548

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form

where

The slope is equal to

m=52.3\ grams/ year

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

b=3,548\ grams

The y-intercept is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context, the y-intercept is the average amount of grams of salt ingested  in the year 2012

The exact value of the average amount of grams of salt ingested  in the year 2012 is 3,554 grams (see the data in the table)

Compare the exact value with the y-intercept

3,554\ g\neq 3,548\ g

therefore

3,548 grams Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012

How many marbles, each with a volume of 36 cubic centimeters, are needed to fill in a cylindrical vase with a radius of 6 centim
ANEK [815]
The volume of a cylinder can be found using the formula:

π r² h, 

where r is the radius of the circular base and h is the height of the cylinder.

If we plug in the measurements of the cylinder, we get:

π (6²) (28)

When this is simplified, we get that the volume of the cylinder is:

1008π cubic cm

Thus, if each marble has a volume of 36π cubic cm, then to find how many marbles will fit into the vase we must divide the vases total volume by the volume of each marble.

1008π / 36π = 28

Therefore, the answer is D. 28 marbles
