According to the journal Chemical Engineering, an important property of a fiber is its water absorbency. A random sample of 20 p

ieces of cotton fiber was taken and the absorbency on each piece was measured. The following are the absorbency values:
18.71, 21.41, 20.72, 21.81, 19.29, 22.43, 20.17,
23.71, 19.44, 20.50, 18.92, 20.33, 23.00, 22.85,
19.25, 21.77, 22.11, 19.77, 18.04, 21.12,

Required:
a. Calculate the sample mean and median for the above sample values.
b. Compute the 10% trimmed mean.
c. Do a dot plot of the absorbency data.
d. Using only the values of the mean, median, and trimmed mean, do you have evidence of outliers in the data?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a )

sample mean = sum total of given data / no of data

= 415.35 / 20 = 20.76

To calculate the median we arrange the data in ascending order and take the average of 10 th and 11 th term .

= 20.50 + 20.72 / 2

= 20.61

b ) To calculate the 10% trimmed mean , we neglect the largest 10% and smallest 10 % data and then calculate the mean . Here we neglect the first two smallest and last two greatest

(18.92 + 19.25 ..... + 22.43 + 22.85) / 16

= 20.74

c )

We can easily plot the data on number line from 17 to 24

d )

Maximum value of data set = 23.71 and minimum value is 18.04

mean is 20.76 , median is 20.61 and trimmed mean is 20.74

They are between maximum and minimum values of given data . Hence there is no outliers .

Since the Σ( of all colors )= 100%,  OR 1, then:

a) P(GREEN ∪ BLUEU) = P(G) + P(BL) = 8%+6% = 14% or 0.14

Since we have to choose ONE candy and only ONE candy at random, then tey are mutually exclusive: No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible

b) P(YELLOW ∪ RED) = P(Y) + P(R) = 18%+18% = 36% or 0.36
SAME ANSWER AS BEFORE: mutually exclusive

c) P(NOT PURPLE), Let's calculate 1st, the probability of having a PURPLE:
P(PURPLE) = 21% or 0.21
And the Probability of NOT having a PURPLE is 1-0.21 = 0.79

There are 11 portable mini suites (a.k.a. cages) in a row at the Paws and Claws Holiday Pet Resort. They are neatly labeled with
BigorU [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 7!

If there are no restrictions, answer is 7! as it is the permutation of all animals.

b) 4! x 3!

As cats are 6 and Dogs are 5, thus 1st and last must be cats in order to have alternate arrangements. Therefore the only choices are the order of the cats among  themselves and the order of the dogs among themselves. There are 4! permutations of the cats and 3! permutations of the dogs, so there are a total of 4! x 3! possible arrangements of the suites.

c) 3! x 5!

There are 3! possible arrangements of  the dogs among themselves. Now, if we consider the dogs as  one ”object” together, then we can think of arranging the 4 cats  together with this 1 additional object. There are 5! such arrangements possible, so there are a total of 3! · 5! possible arrangements of the suites.

d) 2 x 4! x 3!

As required that all the cats must be together and all the dogs must be together, either the cats are all  before the dogs or the dogs are all before the cats. There are two possible arrangements thus two times of both possibilities is the answer i.e.  2 x 4! x 3!
