Answer:

The correct option is Mean and standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set provided, arranged in ascending order is:

S = {0 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 4}

Now, it is provided that Macy was absent when the data was collected and the class guessed she had 4 siblings. When she returned, they found out she actually has 9 siblings.

So, the new data set is:

X = {0 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 9}

The mean of a data set is the average value representing the entire data.

$\bar X=\frac{1}{n}\sum X_{i}$

The median is the middle value of the data set.

The inter-quartile range is the difference between the first and the third quartile.

The standard deviation is the value that represents how dispersed the data values are.

$SD=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum (X_{i}-\bar X)^{2}}$

From all the above statistic, the mean and standard deviation are the only ones that uses all the observations in the data set to compute their value.

So, on changing one of the 4s by a 9, the set of measures that will be affected are the mean and standard deviation.

Thus, the correct option is Mean and standard deviation.

A consumer is considering two different purchasing options for the car of their choice. The first option, which is leasing, is d

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

y=250x+4000
y=400x+400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

x represents the number of months of ownership; and
y represents the total paid for the car after ‘x' months.

First Option (Leasing)

250x - y + 4000 = 0

Expressing the equation in the Slope-Intercept Form y=mx+b, we have:

y=250x+4000

Second Option (Financing)

$400 for 0 months of ownership, (0,400), and $4400 for 10 months of ownership, (10, 4400).

First, we determine the slope of the line joining (0,400) and (10,4400)

$Slope, m= \dfrac{4400-400}{10-0}= \dfrac{4000}{10}=400$

We have:

y=400x+b

When y=400, x=0

400=400(0)+b

b=400

Therefore, the Slope-Intercept Form of the second option is:

y=400x+400

Significance

In the first option, there is a down payment of $4000 and a monthly payment of $250.
In the second option, there is a down payment of $400 and a monthly payment of $400.

Part B

We notice from the graph that after 24 months, the cost for leasing and financing becomes the same ($10,000). Therefore, a consumer will be better off financing since the downpayment for leasing is higher.

i.e

When x=0, y=$4000 for leasing
When x=0, y=$400 for financing

Lindsey bought a picnic basket originally priced at $40 but on sale for 50% off. After 10% sales tax, what was the total cost?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Origianal price= $40

discount= 50%

Tax= 10%

Let us find the amount of the discount and tax

Discount

=50/100*40

=0.5*40

=$20

Tax

=10/100*40

=0.1*40

=$4

Hence the total cost is

=40-20+10

=$30

Company F sells fabrics known as fat quarters, which are rectangles of fabric created by cutting a yard of fabric into four piec

jeka94

Answer:

a) Y 0 1 2

P(Y) 0.58 0.23 0.11

b) mean= 0.45, S.D= 0.6718

c) mean= 1.285, S.D= 8.74

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The following table shows the probability distribution of X:

X 0 1 2 3 4 or more

P(X) 0.58 0.23 0.11 0.05 0.03

Defect >2 = cannot be sold

Y = the number of defects on a fat quarter that can be sold by Company F.

Y = defect that can be sold

Y = Defect less or equal to 2 = 0,1,2

Probability distribution of the random variable Y:

Y 0 1 2

P(Y) 0.58 0.23 0.11

b) mean of Y (μ)

μ = Σ x*P(Y)

= (0*0.58) +(1*0.23)+(2*0.11)

= 0+0.23+0.22 = 0.45

Standard deviation of Y = σ

σ = Σ√(x-mean)^2*P(Y)

= Σ√[(x- μ )^2*P(Y)]

= √[(0-0.45)^2*0.58+ (1-0.45)^2*0.23 + (2-0.45)^2*0.11]

= √[0.11745 + 0.069575 +0.264275

= √(0.4513

σ = 0.6718

Company G:

σ for defect that be sold = 0.66

μ for defect that be sold = 0.40

Difference between μ of F and μ of G

= 0.45-0.40 = 0.05

Difference between σ of F and σ of G

= 0.67-0.66 = 0.01

Selling price of fat quarter without defect = $5

Discount per defect = $1.5

Selling price per defect = 5-1.5 = $3.5

Discount per 2 defect = $1.5*2 = $3

Selling price per defect = 5-3 = $2

Since defect to be sold cannot be greater than 2, let Y = 5,3,2

Probability distribution of the selling price Y:

Y 5 3 2

P(Y) 0.58 0.23 0.11

μ = (5*0.58) +(3.5*0.23)+(2*0.11)

μ = 2.9+0.805+0.22 =1.285

σ = Σ√[(x- μ )^2*P(Y)]

σ = √[(5-1.285)^2*0.58+ (3-1.285)^2*0.23 + (2-1.285)^2*0.11]

σ = 8.00+0.68+0.06 = 8.74

Ralph is estimating the cost of concrete to build a slab. The slab will have a length of 12 feet, a width of 9 feet, and a thick

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$20196

Step-by-step explanation:

12 × 9 × 6 = 648 cubic feet ( volume of slab )

3 feet to a yard

So 648 ÷ 3 = 216

Multiply this by 1.1 to add an extra 10%

237.6 Cubic Yards Needed

$85 × 237.6 = $ 20196

Hope this helps
