Answer:

(B) set B

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest spread is the range of the given data set.

(A) The given data set is:

84,91,87,77,94,89,74

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

77, 77, 84, 87, 89, 91, 94

The range is given as:

$R=94-74=20$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 20.

(B) The given data set is:

89,73,84,91,87,77,94

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

73, 77, 84, 87, 89, 91, 94

The range is given as:

$R=94-73=21$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 21.

73,84,89,88,77,91,87,90

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

73, 77, 84, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91

The range is given as:

$R=91-73=18$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 18.

(D) The given data set is:

84,89,88,82,91,87,99

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

82, 84, 87, 88, 89, 91, 99

The range is given as:

$R=99-82=17$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 17.

Therefore, set B has the greatest spread that is 21.

which equation has an a-value of –2, a b-value of 1, and a c-value of 3? a. 0 = –2x2 x 3 b. 0 = 2x2 x 3 c. 0 = –2x2 3 d. 0 = 2x2

ehidna [41]

If you would like to find the matching equation, you can do this using the following steps:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0
a = -2
b = 1
c = 3

-2x^2 + x + 3 = 0

The correct result would be a. 0 = <span>-2x^2 + x + 3.</span>

Fed [463]

Answer:

we cannot conclude hat the proportion of wives married less than two years who planned to have children is significantly higher than the proportion of wives married five years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a study on the fertility of married women conducted by Martin O’Connell and Carolyn C. Rogers for the Census Bureau in 1979, two groups of childless wives aged 25 to 29 were selected at random, and each was asked if she eventually planned to have a child. One group was selected from among wives married less than two years and the other from among wives married five years.

Let X be the group married less than 2 years and Y less than 5 years

X Y Total

Sample size 300 300 600

Favouring 240 288 528

p 0.8 0.96 0.88

$H_0: p_x=p_y\\H_a: p_x>p_y$

p difference = -0.16

Std error for difference = $\sqrt{0.88*0.12/600} =0.01327$

Test statistic = p difference/std error=-6.03

p value <0.000001

Since p is less than alpha 0.05 we cannot conclude hat the proportion of wives married less than two years who planned to have children is significantly higher than the proportion of wives married five years
