Answer:

The standard deviation for the distribution of girths is

about the same for both male and female pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We will interprete the dotplots

For the Male pigs

24, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 32

Range

Maximum value - Minimum value

= 32 - 24

= 8

IQR = Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

Q1 formula = 1/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 1/4(25 + 1)

= 1/4(26)

= 26/4

= 6.5

This mean the value is between the 6th and 7th value

6th value = 26

7th value = 26

Q1 = 26 + 26/2

Q1 = 26

Q3 formula = 3/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 3/4(25 + 1)

= 3/4(26)

= 78/4

= 19.5

This mean the value is between the 19th and 20th value

19th value = 30

20th value = 30

Q3= 30+ 30/2

= 30

IQR = 30 - 26

= 4

Standard deviation

Mean

First we find the mean

= 24+ 26+26+ 26+ 26+ 26+26+28+ 28+ 28+ 28+28+ 28+ 28+28+ 28+28+28+30+ 30+30+ 30+30+30+32/28

= 700/25

= 28

Standard deviation Formula = √(x - mean)²/n - 1

= √[(24-28)² + (26- 28)² + (26 -28)² + (26 - 28)² +................ (32 - 28)²]/25 - 1

= √(16 + 4 + 4+ 4+ 4+4+ 4+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+0+0+ 4+ 4+4+4+4+ 4+ 16)/25 - 1

= √80/25 - 1

=√3.333333333

Female Pigs

21, 23, 23, 23,23,23,23,25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25,25, 27, 27, 27, 27,27, 27, 29

Range:

Maximum value - Minimum value

= 29 - 21

IQR

IQR = Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

Q1 formula = 1/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 1/4(25 + 1)

= 1/4(26)

= 26/4

= 6.5

This mean the value is between the 6th and 7th value

6th value = 23

7th value = 23

Q1 = 23 + 23/2

Q1 = 23

Q3 formula = 3/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 3/4(25 + 1)

= 3/4(26)

= 78/4

= 19.5

This mean the value is between the 19th and 20th value

19th value = 27

20th value = 27

Q3= 27+ 27/2

Q3 = 27

IQR = 27 - 23

= 4

First we find the Mean

=(21+23+23+23+23+23+23+25+ 25+ 25+ 25+25+ 25+ 25+ 25+25+25+25+27+27+ 27+27+27+ 27+29)/25

= 625/25

= 25

Standard deviation Formula = √(x - mean)²/n - 1

= √[(21-25)² + (23- 25)² + (23 -25)² + (23 - 25)² +................ (29 - 25)²]/25 - 1

= √(16 + 4 + 4+ 4+ 4+4+ 4+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+0+0+ 4+ 4+4+4+4+ 4+ 16)/25 - 1

= √80/25 - 1

=√3.333333333

1.825741858

Looking at the calculation above and comparing both the girths from the male and female

We can conclude that: The standard deviation for the distribution of girths is

about the same for both male and female pigs which is 1.825741858

Bella has joined a new gym in town. The cost of membership is $25 per month. The after-hours policy at the gym allows her to wor

hjlf

The total monthly bill of the gym = $53

The cost of membership of a month = $25

Let 'n' be extra the number of hours Bella worked on.

The cost for working on extra hours = $4

So, we have to determine the equation, Bella worked out after hours.

We will determine the equation by:

(Monthly cost of membership) + ( cost for extra hours $\times$ number of hours extra worked on ) = Total monthly bill received

So, we get

$\$25+(4 \times n) = \$53$

$25+4n = $53 is the required equation.

Therefore, $25+4n = $53 equation can be used to determine how many times Bella worked out after hours.

You are offered the following gamble based on coin flips. If the first heads occurs on the first flip, you get $2. If the first

Andrews [41]

Answer:

infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the expected value of this gamble in dollars is Infinity

i.e

expected value = $\frac{1}{2}*2 + \frac{1}{4}*4 + \frac{1}{8}*8 + \frac{1}{16}*16 + ... + \to \infty (infinty) \\$

= $1+1+1+1+1 + ... = \infty$

When offered, most people say they would pay only less than $10 to play this game.

What are two reasons why people are willing to pay so much less than the expected value?

These people are ready to pay less than $10 to play this game due to the fact that people usually overlook the unlikely event when making decisions. In a bid to that logic, they gamble in order to double their amount of money and the probability that heads may never come is ignored by these people and they may hope for a likely event i.e a head every time they play the game.

Also, the expected value is so humongous that if and only if that the first head appears after a long series of tails which is very less certain to occur, because mostly people would think that on an average the length of a series of tails ( or heads) is somewhat near 10 or so, but definitely infinity.

A kite has a height of 36 inches and a width of 30 inches. Explain how to use the area formula for a triangle to find the area o

natta225 [31]

Answer:

You can view a kite as 4 triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric kite can easily be viewed as 4 triangles. The formula to calculate the area of a kite (width x height)/2 is very similar to the one of a triangle (base x height)/2.

According to the formula to calculate the area of a kite, we would get:

(36 x 30)/2 = 540.

If we take the approach of using 4 triangles, we could imagine a shape formed by 4 triangles measuring 18 inches wide with a height of 15.

The area of each triangle would then be: (18 x 15)/2 = 135

If we multiply this 135 by 4... we get 540.
