Mike tosses 70%
Ike tosses 67%
Both tosses 50%

<span>Which of the following is closest to the probability that Ike's proportion is ringers is higher than Mike's for those tosses?
</span>
P(m) = 70/100
P(i) = 67/100
P(b) = 50/100

= P(b) * P(i) 
= 50/100 * 67/100
= 0.335

The correct answer is letter D) 0.3745.

Name a career that requires data-analysis skills. Describe how data analysis is used in this career. Be specific in your example
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: Find explanations below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A career as a Data Scientist would require data analysis skills.

2. The Data Scientist computes and analyzes large amounts of data from different sources and then makes useful interpretations with it. He needs skills In Statistics, Calculus, Probability, Programming, Excel, Visualization, Database management, and Machine Learning. He also needs a high level of accuracy when solving problems.

3. The median value is used when the data set contains values that repeat regularly and which contains some extremely high values. The mean value would aggravate towards higher values while the Median value would give a salary value that is an average of the data set. That is why the median value is used in salaries and housing prices calculations.

4. The dot plot is a simple scale representation of data values using dots to highlight the frequency of occurrences. I would use a dot plot to analyze quantitative data (like percentages, and decimals), and univariate data ( like mean, median, and mode).

The box plot analyzes a group of data in graphic styles. I would use it to determine the interquartile range, maximum, minimum, and median values. I would also use it to identify outliers.

5. Dot plot Strengths:

a. It is easy to plot the dots.

b. It is easy to interpret the data.

c. It shows the connection between the two data sets.

Dot Plot Weaknesses:

a. It shows the similarities between only two sequences.

b. The changes that occur between the data set cannot be easily detected.

c. It is time-consuming.

Box Plot Strengths:

a. Outliers are detected.

b. Indicates the 5-point summary.

c. It can compare more than two data set.

Box Plot Weaknesses:

a. Real values are lost.

b. The graph Is not easy to the sight.

6. The Income of the population of adult women would have a negatively skewed distribution.

What is three decimals that have a sum of 10.806
White raven [17]

Answer:

  10 + 0.8 + 0.006 = 10.806

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick any two decimal numbers. The third one will be the difference between 10.806 and the sum of the two numbers you picked.

For example, choose 938.2 and 3.0055. Their sum is 941.2055. Then the third number that will make the sum be 10.806 is ...

  10.806 -941.2055 = -930.3995

So, your three numbers could be ...

  {938.2, 3.0055, -930.3995}

Point R lies on the directed line segment from L (-8,-10) to M (4,-2) and partitions the segment in the ratio 3 to 5. What are t
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

R = (- 3.5, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Section formula

x_{R} = \frac{3(4)+5(-8)}{3+5} = \frac{12-40}{8} = \frac{-28}{8} = - 3.5

y_{R} = \frac{3(-2)+5(-10)}{3+5} = \frac{-6-50}{8} = \frac{-56}{8} = - 7

Thus coordinates of R = (- 3.5, - 7 )
