Simon can see two lights, light A and light B.

Mathematics

1 answer:

Vaselesa [24]1 year ago

4 0

Answer:

2 Times

Step-by-step explanation:

Light A flashes every 15 seconds.

Light B flashes every 18 seconds.

First, we determine the next time both lights will flash together.

This is done by finding the Least Common Multiple of the two numbers.

15=3X5

18= $2X3^2$

LCM of 15 and 18= $2X3^2X5=90$

This means that both lights will flash together after 90 seconds.

Now, 4 Minutes =4 X 60 =240

240=90+90+60

Therefore, the number of times more both light will flash together in the next 4 Minutes

= 2 Times

Lian invested an amount of money at an interest rate of 5.2% per year.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$6500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money invested by Lian be $x

Interest rate = 5.2% per year

interest earned in first year will be 5.2% of amount of money invested by Lian .

(note: since in first year there will be no interest accrued on interest so interest for first year is simple interest )

interest earned in one year if money invested by Lian is $x

= 5.2% of $x (1)

But , it is given in one year she received interest of 338 dollars

so, 338 dollars must be equal to 5.2% of $x

equating $338 with 5.2% of $x , we have

5.2% of x = 338

=> (5.2/100) * x = 338

=>5.2 x = 338*100

=> x = 33800/5.2 = 6500.

Thus, amount of money Lian invested is $6500.

A 15-inch candle is lit and steadily burns until it is burned out. Let b represent the burned length of the candle (in inches) a

hjlf

Answer:

(a)r=15-b

11.9 Inches

(b)See attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the candle =15 inch

Let b represent the burned length of the candle (in inches)

Let r represent the remaining length of the candle (in inches).

Therefore:

(a) r+b=15

r=15-b

When b=3,1 Inches

Remaining Length, r=15-3.1=11.9 Inches

(b)The graph showing te relationship between r and b is shown below.

r is plotted on the y-axis while b is plotted on the x-axis as labelled.

The parallel dotplots below display the girths (belly

liraira [26]

Answer:

The standard deviation for the distribution of girths is

about the same for both male and female pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We will interprete the dotplots

For the Male pigs

24, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 32

Range

Maximum value - Minimum value

= 32 - 24

= 8

IQR = Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

Q1 formula = 1/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 1/4(25 + 1)

= 1/4(26)

= 26/4

= 6.5

This mean the value is between the 6th and 7th value

6th value = 26

7th value = 26

Q1 = 26 + 26/2

Q1 = 26

Q3 formula = 3/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 3/4(25 + 1)

= 3/4(26)

= 78/4

= 19.5

This mean the value is between the 19th and 20th value

19th value = 30

20th value = 30

Q3= 30+ 30/2

= 30

IQR = 30 - 26

= 4

Standard deviation

Mean

First we find the mean

= 24+ 26+26+ 26+ 26+ 26+26+28+ 28+ 28+ 28+28+ 28+ 28+28+ 28+28+28+30+ 30+30+ 30+30+30+32/28

= 700/25

= 28

Standard deviation Formula = √(x - mean)²/n - 1

= √[(24-28)² + (26- 28)² + (26 -28)² + (26 - 28)² +................ (32 - 28)²]/25 - 1

= √(16 + 4 + 4+ 4+ 4+4+ 4+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+0+0+ 4+ 4+4+4+4+ 4+ 16)/25 - 1

= √80/25 - 1

=√3.333333333

Female Pigs

21, 23, 23, 23,23,23,23,25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25,25, 27, 27, 27, 27,27, 27, 29

Range:

Maximum value - Minimum value

= 29 - 21

IQR

IQR = Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

Q1 formula = 1/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 1/4(25 + 1)

= 1/4(26)

= 26/4

= 6.5

This mean the value is between the 6th and 7th value

6th value = 23

7th value = 23

Q1 = 23 + 23/2

Q1 = 23

Q3 formula = 3/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 3/4(25 + 1)

= 3/4(26)

= 78/4

= 19.5

This mean the value is between the 19th and 20th value

19th value = 27

20th value = 27

Q3= 27+ 27/2

Q3 = 27

IQR = 27 - 23

= 4

First we find the Mean

=(21+23+23+23+23+23+23+25+ 25+ 25+ 25+25+ 25+ 25+ 25+25+25+25+27+27+ 27+27+27+ 27+29)/25

= 625/25

= 25

Standard deviation Formula = √(x - mean)²/n - 1

= √[(21-25)² + (23- 25)² + (23 -25)² + (23 - 25)² +................ (29 - 25)²]/25 - 1

= √(16 + 4 + 4+ 4+ 4+4+ 4+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+0+0+ 4+ 4+4+4+4+ 4+ 16)/25 - 1

= √80/25 - 1

=√3.333333333

1.825741858

Looking at the calculation above and comparing both the girths from the male and female

We can conclude that: The standard deviation for the distribution of girths is

about the same for both male and female pigs which is 1.825741858
