The lengths of plate glass parts are measured to the nearest tenth of a millimeter. The lengths are uniformly distributed with v

alues at every tenth of a millimeter starting at 590.1, and continuing through 590.8. Determine the mean and variance of the lengths. (a) mean (in tenths of millimeters) Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). (b) variance (in tenths of millimeters2) Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765). (a)

Answer:

A) μ = 590.45 mm; B) σ² = 0.053 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, we add together all of the values and divide by the number of data values:

590.1+590.2+590.3+590.4+590.5+590.6+590.7+590.8 = 4723.6

There are 8 data values; this gives us

4723.6/8 = 590.45

To find the variance, we subtract each of the data values from the mean. We then square this difference, and find the mean of the squares:

590.1-590.45 = -0.35; (-0.35)² = 0.1225

590.2-590.45 = -0.25; (-0.25)² = 0.0625

590.3-590.45 = -0.15; (-0.15)² = 0.0225

590.4-590.45 = -0.05; (-0.05)² = 0.0025

590.5-590.45 = 0.05; (0.05)² = 0.0025

590.6-590.45 = 0.15; (0.15)² = 0.0225

590.7-590.45 = 0.25; (0.25)² = 0.0625

590.8-590.45 = 0.35; (0.35)² = 0.1225

(0.1225+0.0625+0.0225+0.0025+0.0025+0.0225+0.0625+0.1225)/8

= 0.42/8 = 0.0525 ≈ 0.053

Goshia [24]

Let the be the time in hours, and meters of fencing completed.

We know that After three hours, they have 15 meters of fencing complete, our graph will go from the point (0,0) to the point (3,15). We also know that they decide to take a 2-hour break for lunch and then resume building the fence, so our graph will go from the point (3,15) to the the point (5,15). Finally, After four more hours, they have a fence that is a total of 55 meters long, so the final part of our graph will go from the point (5,15) to the point (9,55)

We can conclude that the graph of t vs y is:

Two entertainment venues are planning to expand the size of their audiences and each has decided on the rate at which it can inc

NNADVOKAT [17]

Let us see... ideally we would like to have all equations with the same exponent or the same base so that we can compare the rates. Since the unknown is in the exponent, we have to work with them. In general, $x^(y/z)= \sqrt[z]{x^y}$ .
Applying this to the exponential parts of the functions, we have that the first equation is equal to:
250*( $\sqrt[5]{1.45} ^t$ )=250*(1.077)^t
The second equation is equal to: 200* (1.064)^t in a similar way.
We have that the base of the first equation is higher, thus the rate of growth is faster in the first case; Choice B is correct.
