Below are the data collected from two random samples of 500 American adults on the number of hours they work per day (rounded to

the nearest hour):
Ryan concludes that adults spend a mean of 8 hours working each day. Malia thinks the mean is 9 hours. Who is correct—Ryan or Malia? Explain your answer in two or three sentences.

The mean is just the arithmetic average...

Sample A=8.1

Sample B=8.11

Both Samples=8.105

So Ryan would be closer to being correct given either of or both samples.

Ryan is correct because if you were to add up all you numbers which is easier if you take (60*6)+(90*7) then 7+7+7 (90 times) then divide them you get 8. You could either take each set on their own or do them both together but you still get 8.

wariber [46]

Answer:

<em>Mean of the sample = 27.83</em>

<em> The variance of the the sample = 106.96</em>

<em> </em><em>Standard deviation of the sample = 10.34</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given random sample of six employees

x     26    32    29    16     45    19

mean of the sample

x^{-} = \frac{26+32+29+16+45+19}{6} = 27.83

Mean of the given data = 27.83

<u>Step(ii):-</u>

<u>Given data</u>

x           :       26         32           29           16           45        19

x - x⁻     :      -1.83      4.17        1.17       -11.83     17.17    -8.83

(x - x⁻)²  :    3.3489   17.3889   1.3689   139.9489  294.80 77.9689

∑ (x-x⁻)²  =   534.8245

Given sample size 'n' =6

The variance of given data

           S²  = ∑(x-x⁻)² / n-1  

           S^{2}  = \frac{534.8245}{6-1} = 106.9649

The variance of the given sample = 106.9649

<u> Step(iii):-</u>

Standard deviation of the given data

S = \sqrt{variance} = \sqrt{106.9649} =10.3423

Standard deviation of the sample = 10.3423

The total amount paid on a 35 year loan was $98,000. If the interest rate was 4.1% and compounded monthly, what was the principa
Levart [38]

Answer:

The principal amount was $23,393.45

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount paid on a 35 year loan was $98,000 at the rate of interest 4.1%

We will calculate Principal amount by this formula

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A = amount (98,000)

           P = Principal amount (P)

           r = rate of interest 4.1% (0.041)

           n = number of compounding interest monthly (12)

           t = time (35 years)

98,000=P(1+\frac{0.041}{12})^{(12)(35)}

98,000=P(1+0.003416)^{(420)}

98,000=P(1.003416)^{(420)}

98,000 = P(4.189386)

= 4.189386P = 98,000

P = \frac{98000}{4.189386}

P = 23,392.4494 ≈ $23,392.45

The principal amount was $23,393.45

How is the graph of y = negative RootIndex 3 StartRoot x minus 4 EndRoot transformed to produce the graph of y = negative RootIn
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Multiply by ∛2 and translate the graph to left by 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial function given is:

y = -∛(x - 4)

The transformed function is:

y = -∛(2x - 4)

Consider the initial function.

y = -∛(x - 4)

(Represented by Black line in the graph)

Multiply the function by ∛2. The function becomes:

y = -∛(x - 4) × ∛2

y = -∛(2)(x-4)

y = -∛(2x-8)

(Represented by Red line in the graph represents this function)

Translate the graph 4 units to the left by adding 4 to the x component:

y = -∛(2x-8+4)

y= -∛(2x - 4)

(Represented by Blue line in the graph)

ser-zykov [4K]
Digit numbers.

Let the numbers 00 to 89 represent that the train is on time.

Let the numbers between 90 and 99 represent that the train is late.

Randomly select 6 numbers, with repetition allowed.

Count the number of times the train is late.

Repeat this simulation multiple times.

You will most likely obtain a result of between 0 and 2 times that the train is late.

Sergio and Lizeth have a very tight vacation budget. They plan to rent a car from a company that charges $75 a week plus $0.25 a
nordsb [41]

Answer: 500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sergio and Lizeth have planned to rent a car from a company that charges $75 a week plus $0.25 a mile.

i.e. Fixed charge= $75

Rate per mile = $0.25

Let x denotes the number of miles.

Then, Total charges = Fixed charge+ Rate per mile x No. of miles traveled

=  $75+ $0.25x

To keep budget within $200, we have following equation.

75+0.25x=200\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25=200-75\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25=125\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{125}{0.25}=\dfrac{12500}{25}=500

Hence, they can travel 500 miles and still keep within their $200 budget.
