Answer:

Mean value of the ACT scores

x⁻  = 18.66

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given data

Student scores were as follows: 20, 18, 16, 15, 23, 20.

Mean value or Expected value

 <em> x ⁻ = ∑x/n</em>

  x^{-} = \frac{20+18+16+15+23+20}{6}

 x^{-} = \frac{112}{6} = 18.66

Mean value = 18.66

<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>

<em>Mean value of the ACT scores </em>

<em>                            x⁻  = 18.66</em>

An athlete jumped 5.5 feet which was 1.1 times higher than the previous jumper how high did the previous athlete jump
Fantom [35]

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the previous jump be represented by j.  Then 1.1j = 5.5 ft.

Dividing both sides by 1.1, we get j = 5 ft.  This was the height of the previous jump.

Lesson 1-1: The periodic comet named Johnson has been seen at every return since its discovery in 1949, as shown in the table be
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Occurrence                 Year seen          Difference

1                                      1949                       -  

2                                     1956               1956 - 1949 = 7

3                                     1963               1963 - 1956 = 7

4                                     1970                1970 - 1963 = 7

Difference between each successive term of year seen = 7 years

Therefore, there is a common difference of 7 years between each successive term.

Function defining the year seen will be a linear function and will increase in the same pattern. (multiple of 7 years)

2017 - 1970 = 47 (It's not the multiple of 7)

2018 - 1970 = 48 (It's not the multiple of 7)

2019 - 1970 = 49 (multiple of 7)

2020 - 1970 = 50 (It's not the multiple of 7)

Therefore, comet will be seen next in 2019.

Option (C) will be the answer.

If a person is born in 2005

Then difference between 2005 and 1949 = 56 years

Number of times comet seen after 1949 = \frac{56}{7}=8 times

Total number of comet seen in the lifetime = 8 times

A marketing firm wants to estimate how much root beer the average teenager drinks per year. A previous study found a standard de
Verdich [7]

Answer:

At least 832 teenargers must be interviewed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How many teenagers must the firm interview in order to have a margin of error of at most 0.1 liter when constructing a 99% confidence interval

At least n teenargers must be interviewed.

n is found when M = 0.1.

We have that \sigma = 1.12

So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.1 = 2.575*\frac{1.12}{\sqrt{n}}

0.1\sqrt{n} = 2.575*1.12

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*1.12}{0.1}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*1.12}{0.1})^{2}

n = 831.7

Rounding up

At least 832 teenargers must be interviewed.
