A survey of 20 Middleton residents was done to determine the number of people in each household. The numerical frequencies are s

hown in the dot plot. A dot plot. The number line goes from 0 to 10. There is 1 dot above 1, 4 above 2, 5 above 3, 4 above 4, 4 above 5, 1 above 6, 0 above 7, 0 above 8, 1 above 9, 0 above 10. What is the outlier of this distribution? What is the mean of this data set? What is the range of this data set?

Answer:

minor outlier- 9

mean = 3.75

range is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set would be:

1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 9 = 20 households

To calculate for the outlier in this data set:

Arrange all data points from lowest to highest

Calculate the median of the data set

Calculate the lower quartile and upper quartile

Find the interquartile range

Find the "inner fences" for the data set

So, our data has been arranged. The median of the data set is

1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 9 = 3+4 / 2 = 7/2 = 3.5

Then we go on to find the lower and upper quartile

1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, (median) 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 9

lower quartile upper quartile

median = 2+3 / 2 = 5/2 = 2.5 median = 5+5 / 2 = 10/2 = 5

Then finding interquartile range: upper quartile - lower quartile= 5 -2.5 = 2.5

To find the inner fences: multiply the interquartile range by 1.5. Then, add the result to upper quartile and subtract it from the lower quartile. Thus we have: 2.5*1.5 = 3.75.

add the result to upper quartile = 3.75 + 5 = 8.75

subtract it from the lower quartile = 3.75 - 2.5 = 1

Thus, the two inner fences are (1 - 8.75).

Thus, we can say that 9 is a minor outlier in this distribution and not a major one.

To find the mean :

lets make a table:

Number(x) Frequency (f) fx

1 1 1

2 4 8

3 5 15

4 4 16

5 4 20

6 1 6

9 1 9

summation of fx = 75 summation of frequency is 20.

Mean is summation of fx / summation of frequency = 75/20 = 3.75

Range of data set is the biggest data point - the smallest data point= 9 -1 = 8

Paco's cell phone carrier charges him $0.20 for each text message he sends or receives, $0.15 per minute for calls, and a $15 mo

Katarina [22]

Given:

Paco's cell phone carrier charges him $0.20 for each text message he sends or receives, $0.15 per minute for calls, and a $15 monthly service fee. Paco is trying to keep his bill for the month below $30.

To Find:

The number of texts 't' Paco can send/receive in a month.

Answer:

$0\leq t$

best describes the number of texts he can send or receive to keep his bill less than $30 in a month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paco wants to keep is monthly bill below $30.

We see that he has to pay a foxed monthly service fee of $15. This means he is only left with a limit of $30 - $15 = $15 for his monthly calls and texts.

That is, the amount he has to pay for texting and calling has to be less than $15.

For texts, the cell phone carrier charges $0.20 for sending/receiving texts.

For calls, he is charged $0.15 per minute.

Let the number of text messages Paco can send or receive in a month be denoted by 't'.

Let the number of minutes Paco can call in a month be denoted by 'c'.

Then, the total cost of text messages he can send or receive per month would be 0.20t and the total cost of the minutes he spends on calls would be 0.15c. Together, the sum of these has to be less than $15 if his monthly bill has to be kept less than $30 (accounting for the monthly service fee).

So,

$0.20t+0.15c$

The number of texts he can send will dpend on the number of minutes he spends on his calls. For Paco to spend maximum number of texts, he has to spend 0 minutes on calls.

So, putting c = 0, the aboce equation can be written as

$0.20t+0$

That is, Paco has to send and receive less than 75 texts.

So,

$0\leq t$

best describes the number of texts he can send or receive to keep his bill less than $30 in a month.

Clarissa needs a $2,500 loan in order to buy a car. Which loan option would allow her to pay the least amount of interest?

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Clarissa needs a $2,500 loan in order to buy a car.

There are 4 options of loan we will calculate all the options that pay the least amount of interest.

To calculate the interest we will use this formula :

$\frac{P\times R\times time}{100}$

Where P = Principal amount

R = rate of interest

T = time in years

A) Principal 2,500 interest 4.75% and time 18 months (1.5 years)

$\frac{2500\times 4.75\times 1.5}{100}$

= $178.125

B) Principal 2,500 interest 4% and time 30 months (2.5 years)

$\frac{2500\times 4\times 2.5}{100}$

= $250

C) Principal 2,500 interest 4.25% and time 24 months (2 years)

$\frac{2500\times 4.25\times 2}{100}$

= $212.50

D) Principal 2,500 interest 4.50% and time 36 months (3 years)

$\frac{2500\times 4.5\times 3}{100}$

= $337.50

The least amount of interest would be in option A.

In a recent year, a sample of grade 8 Washington State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean sc

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The number is $N =1147$ students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 281$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 34.4$

The sample size is n = 2000

percentage of the would you expect to have a score between 250 and 305 is mathematically represented as

$P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(\frac{ 250 - 281}{34.4 } < \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{ 305 - 281}{34.4 } )$

Generally

$\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (Standardized \ value \ of \ X )$

So

$P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(-0.9012< Z$

$P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(z_2 < 0.698 ) - P(z_1 < -0.9012)$

From the z table the value of $P( z_2 < 0.698) = 0.75741$

and $P(z_1 < -0.9012) = 0.18374$

$P(250 < X < 305 ) = 0.75741 - 0.18374$

$P(250 < X < 305 ) = 0.57$

The percentage is $P(250 < X < 305 ) = 57\%$

The number of students that will get this score is

$N = 2000 * 0.57$

$N =1147$
