Answer:

For school A: Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17, IQR=9.5

For school B: Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19, IQR=7.5

No, the box plots are not symmetric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given data sets are

School A : 9,14,15,17,17,7,15,6,6

School B : 12,8,13,11,19,15,16,5,8

Arrange the data in ascending order.

School A : 6,6,7,9,14,15,15,17,17

School B : 5,8,8,11,12,13,15,16,19

Divide each data set in four equal parts.

School A : (6,6),(7,9),14,(15,15),(17,17)

School B : (5,8),(8,11),12,(13,15),(16,19)

For school A:

Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17

Interquartile range of the data is

$IQR=Q_3-Q_1=16-6.5=9.5$

For school B:

Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19

Interquartile range of the data is

$IQR=Q_3-Q_1=15.5-8=7.5$

Part B:

The box plots are not symmetric because the data values are different. Five number summary and IQR of both the data set are different.

A case of tomato cans weighs 563 dekagrams. A case of soup cans weighs 458 dekagrams. How much do the two cases weigh together i

oee [108]

Answer:

102,100 decigrams

Step-by-step explanation:

(564 dag + 458 dag) = 1021 dag

1021 dag × 100 dg/dag = 102100 dg

The two cases together weigh 102,100 decigrams.

_____

1 dag = 10 g

1 dg = 0.1 g

For the binomial expansion of (x + y)^10, the value of k in the term 210x 6y k is a) 6 b) 4 c) 5 d) 7

Sloan [31]

Answer:

a) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding the polynomial using the formula:

$(x+y)^n=\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k} x^{n-k} y^k$

Also

$\binom{n}{k}=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}$

I think you mean $210x^6y^4$

We can deduce that this term will be located somewhere in the middle. So I will calculate $k= 5; k=6 \text{ and } k =7$ .

For $k=5$

$\binom{10}{5} (y)^{10-5} (x)^{5}=\frac{10!}{(10-5)! 5!}(y)^{5} (x)^{5}= \frac{10 \cdot 9 \cdot 8 \cdot 7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5! }{5! \cdot 5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 } \\ =\frac{30240}{120} =252 x^{5} y^{5}$

Note that we actually don't need to do all this process. There's no necessity to calculate the binomial, just $x^{n-k} y^k$

For $k=6$

$\binom{10}{6} \left(y\right)^{10-6} \left(x\right)^{6}=\frac{10!}{(10-6)! 6!}\left(y\right)^{4} \left(x\right)^{6}=210 x^{6} y^{4}$

The shelf should sell for $235.20.

Marking the price up by 60% means taking 160% of the cost:
160% = 160/100 = 1.6; 1.6(147) = 235.20

For the sequence an = 2n + 1, identify the values of a0 = _____, a1 = _____, a2 = _____, and a3 = _____.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Option A - $a_0= 2,a_1= 3,a_2= 5,a_3= 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : For the sequence $a_n= 2^n + 1$

To find : Identify the values of following?

Solution :

The nth term of the sequence is $a_n= 2^n + 1$

Substitute n=0,1,2 and 3

When n=0,

$a_0= 2^0+ 1$

$a_0= 1+1$

$a_0=2$

When n=1,

$a_1= 2^1+ 1$

$a_1= 2+1$

$a_1=3$

When n=2,

$a_2= 2^2+ 1$

$a_2=4+1$

$a_2=5$

When n=3,

$a_3= 2^3+ 1$

$a_3= 8+ 1$

$a_3= 9$

Therefore, The value is $a_0= 2,a_1= 3,a_2= 5,a_3= 9$

So, Option A is correct.
