Answer: Annabelle is using the a measure of central tendency defined as the Mode.
Step-by-step explanation: A measure of central tendency in its simplest definition is a single value or measure that can safely be used to represent all members belonging to an entire set of given data. Hence, as a good illustration, one figure can be used to confidently represent all other ninety nine figures where a set of one hundred figures were given.
The mean, median and mode are commonly accepted measures of central tendency.
The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a given set of data. As such, the modal value is statistically acceptable as a representative of the entire set of values or data.
If Annabelle measures the sides of 15 right triangles and based on her observations, she concludes that for any right triangle the sum of the squares of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, what she has done is taking the most frequently occurring value, and in her experiment, the most frequent of all observed data satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem.
That is why Annabelle can confidently make her assumption.
Answer:
1/2 (1 half)
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of different sandwiches is calculated multiplying all of the possibilities for each material used:
rye or white bread: 2 options
ham or turkey: 2 options
cheese or no cheese: 2 options
So the number of different sandwiches that can be made is 2*2*2 = 8.
From these 8 different sandwiches, 4 have cheese and 4 have no cheese, as the staff made a equal number of each type of sandwich.
So, if from 8 different type of sandwiches, 4 have cheese, the chances of Mary getting a sandwich with cheese is 4/8 = 1/2 (1 half).
Divide the APR by 360 days and multiply it by 30 days to get the monthly interest. Each loan is usually secured by the car you bought. So we will use the secured APR.
8. Average rating secured apr: 5.85% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.4875% monthly rate
Cost of car: 19,725 ; sales tax: 4.75% ; down payment: 2,175
19,725 x 1.0475 = 20,661.94 - 2,175 = 18,486.94 loan amount
18,486.94 x 0.4875% = 90.12 accrued interest for the 1st month.
9. Excellent rating secured apr: 4.80% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.40% monthly rate
Cost of car: 15,867 ; sales tax: 5.25% ; down payment: 10% of total cost
15,867 x 1.0525 = 16,700.02 x 90% = 15,030.02 the principal balance at the start of the loan.
10. Fair rating secured apr: 7% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.5833% monthly rate
Cost of new car: 19,072 ; sales tax: 4.5% ; down payment: 1,200
Cost of used car: 15,365; sales tax: 4.5% ; down payment: 1,200
19,072 x 1.045 = 19,930.24 - 1,200 = 18,730.24
18,730.24 x 0.5833% = 109.25 accrued interest
15,365 x 1.045 = 16,056.43 - 1,200 = 14,856.43
14,856.43 x 0.5833% = 86.66 accrued interest
109.25 - 86.66 = 22.59 is the difference in interest accrued by the end of the first month.
