Morgan is walking her dog on an 8-meter-long leash. She is currently 500 meters from her house, so the maximum and minimum dista

nces that the dog may be from the house can be found using the equation |x – 500| = 8. What are the minimum and maximum distances that Morgan’s dog may be from the house?

Answer:

Max: 500

Min: 492

Step-by-step explanation:

Her dog is on an 8 meter leash but it doesn't necessarily take up the whole leash. The most is could be closer to her house than Morgan is 8 meters, the least is 0.

Most: 500-0=500

Min: 500-8=492

Please rate, thank, and mark branliest (not necessarily mine) Hope this helps :)

Answer:

$Range = 16$

$Inter\ Quartile\ Range = 6.75$

$Variance = 20.44$

$Standard\ Deviation = 4.52$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4, 17, 12, 9, 6, 10, 1, 5, 9, 3

Calculating the range;

$Range = Highest - Lowest$

From the given data;

Highest = 17 and Lowest = 1

Hence;

$Range = 17 - 1$

$Range = 16$

Calculating the Inter-quartile Range

Inter quartile range (IQR) is calculates as thus

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

Where

Q3 = Upper Quartile and Q1 = Lower Quartile

<em />

<em>Start by arranging the data in ascending order</em>

1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 9, 10, 12, 17

N = Number of data; N = 10

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calculating Q3

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(N+1) th\ item$

<em>Substitute 10 for N</em>

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(10+1) th\ item$

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(11) th\ item$

$Q_3 = \frac{33}{4} th\ item$

$Q_3 = 8.25 th\ item$

Express 8.25 as 8 + 0.25

$Q_3 = (8 + 0.25) th\ item$

$Q_3 = 8th\ item + 0.25 th\ item$

Express 0.25 as fraction

$Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} th\ item$

$Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} (9th\ item - 8th\ item)$

From the arranged data;

$8th\ item = 10$ and $9th\ item = 12$

$Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} (9th\ item - 8th\ item)$

$Q_3 = 10 +\frac{1}{4} (12 - 10)$

$Q_3 = 10 +\frac{1}{4} (2)$

$Q_3 = 10 +0.5$

$Q_3 = 10.5$

Calculating Q1

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(N+1) th\ item$

<em>Substitute 10 for N</em>

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(10+1) th\ item$

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(11) th\ item$

$Q_1 = \frac{11}{4} th\ item$

$Q_1 = 2.75 th\ item$

Express 2.75 as 2 + 0.75

$Q_1 = (2 + 0.75) th\ item$

$Q_1 = 2nd\ item + 0.75 th\ item$

Express 0.75 as fraction

$Q_1 = 2nd\ item +\frac{3}{4} th\ item$

$Q_1 = 2nd\ item +\frac{3}{4} (3rd\ item - 2nd\ item)$

From the arranged data;

$2nd\ item = 3$ and $3rd\ item = 4$

$Q_1 = 3 +\frac{3}{4} (4 - 3)$

$Q_1 = 3 +\frac{3}{4} (1)$

$Q_1 = 3 +0.75$

$Q_1 = 3 .75$

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recall that

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

$IQR = 10.5 - 3.75$

$IQR = 6.75$

Calculating Variance

Start by calculating the mean

$Mean = \frac{1+3+4+5+6+9+9+10+12+17}{10}$

$Mean = \frac{76}{10}$

$Mean = 7.6$

Subtract the mean from each data, then square the result

$(1 - 7.6)^2 = (-6.6)^2 = 43.56$

$(3 - 7.6)^2 = (-4.6)^2 = 21.16$

$(4 - 7.6)^2 = (-3.6)^2 = 12.96$

$(5 - 7.6)^2 = (-2.6)^2 = 6.76$

$(6 - 7.6)^2 = (-1.6)^2 = 2.56$

$(9 - 7.6)^2 = (1.4)^2 = 1.96$

$(9 - 7.6)^2 = (1.4)^2 = 1.96$

$(10 - 7.6)^2 = (2.4)^2 = 5.76$

$(12 - 7.6)^2 = (4.4)^2 = 19.36$

$(17 - 7.6)^2 = (9.4)^2 = 88.36$

Sum the result

$43.56 + 21.16 + 12.96 + 6.76 + 2.56 + 1.96 + 1.96 + 5.76 + 19.36 + 88.36 = 204.4$

Divide by number of observation;

$Variance = \frac{204.4}{10}$

$Variance = 20.44$

Calculating Standard Deviation (SD)

$SD = \sqrt{Variance}$

$SD = \sqrt{20.44}$

$SD = 4.52$ <em>(Approximated)</em>

A semicircular flower bed has a diameter of 3 metres. What is the area of the flower bed?

Yuri [45]

The area of circle is

$A_{\text{circle}}=\pi r^2.$

Then the area of semicircular region is

$A_{\text{semicircular region}}=\dfrac{1}{2} \pi r^2.$

If r=3 m, you have

$A_{\text{semicircular region}}=\dfrac{1}{2} \pi \cdot 3^2=\dfrac{9\pi}{2}=4.5\pi \approx 14.13$ sq. m.

Answer: $A_{\text{semicircular region}}=4.5\pi \approx 14.13$ sq. m.

For the annual rate of change of -31% find the corresponding growth or decay factor

dimaraw [331]

Firstly, the negative sign indictaes that this is a decay. Secondly, it is decaying by 31% (or 31 per 100) per annum, or 0.31, however, I dont think any of these answers are right. certainly C and D represent growth as they are 131% and 169% (1.31 and 1.69 respectively), B represents a decrease of 4% or 0.04, and A represents a decrease of 87% or 0.87, which as you can see does not correspond to to a decrease of -0.31or -31%, are you sure you have supplied all the information in the question(such as a starting point). If you have then I would refer to teacher/tutor for further examination.
