Answer:

C. Set B has the greater range.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start out with listing out each set of data in a way that makes it easier to work with.

Set A:

20,20,30,30,40,40,40,40,40,50,50,60,60,60

Set B:

10,10,20,20,20,30,30,30,30,40,50,50,60

We can start by trying to eliminate answer options; starting with D.

To get the mean of a set of data, we need to add all numbers in the data set and then divide by the number of dots on the plot.

For Set B: 10+10+20+20+20+20+30+30+30+30+40+50+50+60=420 then divide by number of dots (14) 420/14=30 The mean of Set B is equal to 30.

Solve the mean for Set A to compare. The mean is 41. D is not true so we can eliminate this answer choice.

We can look at the median of both sets so that we can eliminate answer choice B. The median is the middle most point in the set of data.

Set A median: 40

Set B median: 30

We can eliminate B because it does not have the greater median.

On to option C: range.

To find the range of each data set, we subtract the smallest number from the biggest number.

Set A: 60-20=40

Set B: 60-10= 50

Set B does in fact have a greater range than Set A. Answer choice C is the correct option.

SAT Writing scores are normally distributed with a mean of 491 and a standard deviation of 113.A university plans to send letter

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$z=1.405$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=491 +1.405*113=649.765$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 92% of data from the top 8% is 649.765.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(491,113)$

Where $\mu=491$ and $\sigma=113$

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.08$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.92 of the area on the left and 0.08 of the area on the right it's z=1.405. On this case P(Z<1.405)=0.92 and P(z>0.92)=0.08

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$

$P(z$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=1.405$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=491 +1.405*113=649.765$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 92% of data from the top 8% is 649.765.

John took all his money from his savings account. He spent $110 on a radio and 4/11 of what was left on presents for his friend

svp [43]

Answer:

$1210

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be total amount

First John spent $110 on a radio and 4/11 of what was left on presents for his friends so he was left with

$\frac{7}{11}(x-110)=\frac{7}{11}x-70$

Then he put 2/5 of his remaining money into a checking account

$\frac{3}{5}\left(\frac{7}{11}x-70\right)$

Rest he donated to charity

$420=\frac{3}{5}\left(\frac{7}{11}x-70\right)\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{7}{11}x-70\right)=\frac{2100}{3}\\\Rightarrow \frac{7}{11}x-70=700\\\Rightarrow \frac{7}{11}x=770\\\Rightarrow x=1210$

Hence total amount of money John originally had was $1210

At 9:00 on Saturday morning, two bicyclists heading in opposite directions pass each other on a bicycle path. The bicyclist head

7nadin3 [17]

Let x be the rate of the slower bicyclist and
x + 4 be the rate of the faster bicyclist

Since the bicyclists are headed towards opposite directions, the sum of the distances they covered traveling for one hour and 15 minutes should be equal to 40 km based on the given conditions above. This may be expressed as,

(x)(1.25) + (x + 4)(1.25) = 40

Calculating gives x = 14

Thus, the rate of the bicyclists are 14 km/h and 18 km/h.

Alex is x years old. Addison is y years younger. Find their combined age in 10 years’ time.

stira [4]

Answer:

x+10-y

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm not 100% sure about this response, but i'd assume the answer is like this for the following reasons:

alex is x years old, and 10 years have passed, meaning 10 years are added onto his age (x+10). addison is still the same amount of years apart from him in age, so you subtract y from that (x+10-y).
