Question

The table shows the heights in a basketball team.

Height: 198, 199, 200, 201, 202

a.) Work out the mean height of the team. Round you answer to 1d.p.

That, I have worked out is 200.3

b.) A new player joins the team and raises the mean average height to 201cm. Work out the height of the new player.

Answer:

206 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the fiven numbers, 198+199+200+201+202=1000

For a mean of 201, the product should be 201*6=1206

The difference of the two is equivalent to the height of the other person hence 1206-1000=206 cm

Therefore, the height is 206 cm

Explain how you could write a quadratic function in factored form that would have a vertex with an x-coordinate of 3 and two dis

dem82 [27]

Two distinct roots means two real solutions for x (the parabola needs to cross the x-axis twice)

Vertex form of a quadratic equation: (h,k) is vertex

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

The x of the vertex needs to equal 3

y = a(x-3)^2 + k

In order to have two distinct roots the parabola must be (+a) upward facing with vertex below the x-axis or (-a) downward facing with vertex above the x-axis. Parabolas are symmetrical so for an easy factorable equation make "a" 1 or -1 depending on if you want the upward/downward facing one.

y = (x-3)^2 - 1

Vertex (3,-1) upwards facing with two distinct roots 4 and 2

y = x^2 -6x + 9 - 1

y = x^2 -6x + 8

y = (x - 4)(x - 2)

If 10x + 2 = 7, what is the value of 2x?

Julli [10]

For this case we have the following equation:

$10x + 2 = 7$

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

$10x = 7-2\\10x = 5\\x = \frac {5} {10}\\x = \frac {1} {2}$

Then, we look for the value of 2x. We have then:

$2x = 2 \frac {1} {2}\\2x = \frac {2} {2}\\2x = 1$

Answer:

The value of 2x is given by:

$2x = 1$

Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 4095 grams, and a standard deviation of 569 grams. If 130 babies a

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

$P =0.3998$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ${\overline{x}}$ be the average of the sample, and the population mean will be $\mu$

We know that:

$\mu = 4095$ gr

Let $\sigma$ be the standard deviation and n the sample size, then we know that the standard error of the sample is:

$E=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Where

$\sigma=569$

$n=130$

In this case we are looking for:

$P(|{\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu|>42)$

This is:

${\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu>42$ or ${\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu$

$P=P({\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu>42)+ P({\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu$

Now we get the z score

$Z=\frac{{\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$P=P(z>\frac{42}{\frac{569}{\sqrt{130}}}) + P(z$

$P=P(z>0.8416) + P(z$

Looking at the tables for the standard nominal distribution we get

$P =0.1999+0.1999$

$P =0.3998$
