Answer:

The correct option is;

(Choice B) Both the mean and median will increase, but the mean will increase by more than the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are expected to show the differences (advantages/properties) of the mean and median

Note that the definition of the mean is the sum of the value of all data points divided by the number of data points

Assuming the four accountants each earn $ 55,000.00

Therefore, initial mean before getting rd of the part-time accountant is

(55+ 55+ 55 + 55 + 10)/5 = 46

Final mean after the part-time accountant is gone =(55+ 55+ 55 + 55 )/4 = 55

Therefore the mean increases

However, the median is given by the middle value when the list of values are arranged in increasing order as

55, 55, 55, 55, 10

Therefore the initial median is 55

Final median after the part-time accountant is gone is

55, 55, 55, 55

Therefore, final = (55 + 55)/2 = 55

That is the median remains the same that is little or increase.

Therefore, since the range of values for the full time accountants salaries weigh less than the difference between the average full time salary and a single part time, both the mean and the median will increase but the mean will increase more than the median

A group of five people are all working on the same mathematics problem. On the night before it is due, they call each other to d
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Minimum number of calls = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets name the five people as A,B,C,D and E.

<u>On the night before ,each person talks to every other person atleast once that means A would talk to B,C,D and E atleast once.</u>

Lets start with A. He would talk to other 4 people which means there would be 4 phone calls made.

Now lets take B. He can talk to A,C,D and E. But  A has already talked to C therefore to get minimum number of phone calls , B need not call A again. So he calls only C,D and E.

In case of C using similar logic he need to talk to only D and E.

For D , he talks to E alone.

E does not have to talk to anyone as he has already talked to everyone atleast once.

Total calls = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

                    = 10

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. One salmon starts 2.00m from a waterfall that is 0.55m tall and ju
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: 6.2 m/s

Explanation:

1) This is a projectile motion (parabolic)

2) Velocity:

i) initial velocity = V₀

ii) Horizontal component:

V₀x = V₀ cos α

The horizontal velocity is constant, so Vx = V₀x

ii) Vertical component:

V₀y = V₀ sin α

The vertical component is linear with acceleration = g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

Vy = V₀y - gt = V₀ sin α - gt

3) Displacement equations

i) Horizontal displacment:

x = V₀ cosα t

ii) Vertical displacement:

y = V₀ sin α t - g t² / 2

y ≈ V₀ sin α t - 4.9 t²

4) Solution

i) x = V₀ cosα t = V₀ cos(32°) t = 2.00 m ← salmon starts 2.00m from a waterfall

⇒ V₀ = 2 / [cos(32°) t ]

ii) y = V₀ sin α t - 4.9 t² = V₀ sin(32°) t - 4.9 t²

iii) Replace V₀ with 2 / [cos(32°) t ]

y = sin(32°) × 2 / [cos(32°) t ] × t - 4.9t² = 2 tan(32°) - 4.9t²

iv) Use jump's height (y = 0.55m) and solve

⇒ 0.55 = 2 tan(32°) - 4.9t²

t² = [2 tan(32°) - 0.55 ] / 4.9 = 0.143 s²

⇒ t = √ (0.143s²) = 0.38 s

v) Use V₀ = 2 / [cos(32°) t ] to find V₀

V₀ = 2 / [cos(32°) (0.38) ] = 6.2 m/s

Triangle A B C is shown. Angle B C A is a right angle. The length of hypotenuse A B is 5, the length of B C is 3, and the length
svetoff [14.1K]

The side opposite to angle B is the side that does not contact with angle B.

In this attached image, you can see better that sides AB and BC is in contact with angle B. So, the opposite side to angle B is AC.

Therefore, the lenght of the side opposite to angle B is 4 units.

Jack bought 4 dozen eggs at $10 per dozen. 6 were broken. what percent of his money goes to waste
Korvikt [17]

So, if he has 4 dozen eggs, ten dollars per dozen, he has spent $40 on 48 eggs. <em>This means the cost of one egg = 48/40. </em>This can simplify to <em>6/5 </em>which is equal to<em> $1.20. </em>This means the value of one egg is $1.20, including the broken ones! So if six were broken, we multiply 1.20 x 6 which equals <em>$7.20!</em>

Use this "formula" to help find percentages

<em>Part/Total = %( Percentage )/ 100</em>

Now that we know how much money has gone to waste, we can plug in the known values into this "formula."

<em>7.2/48 = x/100</em>

Solve accordingly; cross multiply, 720 = 48x; divide both sides of the equation by 48 to isolate the variable, 720/48 = 48x/48; now you have your final answer which is:

15 = x; going back to the "formula" this means 15% of his money has gone to waste. I hope this helped! :)

Suppose the area that can be painted using a single can of spray paint is slightly variable and follows a nearly normal distribu
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the variable

X: Area that can be painted with a can of spray paint (feet²)

The variable has a normal distribution with mean μ= 25 feet² and standard deviation δ= 3 feet²

since the variable has a normal distribution, you have to convert it to standard normal distribution to be able to use the tabulated accumulated probabilities.

a.

P(X>27)

First step is to standardize the value of X using Z= (X-μ)/ δ ~N(0;1)

P(Z>(27-25)/3)

P(Z>0.67)

Now that you have the corresponding Z value you can look for it in the table, but since tha table has probabilities of P(Z, you have to do the following conervertion:

P(Z>0.67)= 1 - P(Z≤0.67)= 1 - 0.74857= 0.25143

b.

There was a sample of 20 cans taken and you need to calculate the probability of painting on average an area of 540 feet².

The sample mean has the same distribution as the variable it is ariginated from, but it's variability is affected by the sample size, so it has a normal distribution with parameners:

X[bar]~N(μ;δ²/n)

So the Z you have to use to standardize the value of the sample mean is Z=(X[bar]-μ)/(δ/√n)~N(0;1)

To paint 540 feet² using 20 cans you have to paint around 540/20= 27 feet² per can.

c.

P(X≤27) = P(Z≤(27-25)/(3/√20))= P(Z≤2.98)= 0.999

d.

No. If the distribution is skewed and not normal, you cannot use the normal distribution to calculate the probabilities. You could use the central limit theorem to approximate the sampling distribution to normal if the sample size was 30 or grater but this is not the case.

I hope it helps!
