Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for <u>exponential growth</u> is y = ab^x.
To write this equation, we know it has to start with 48 (which is the variable a). We need to add the rate of growth. This is 11/6 (which is variable b). But we also need to account for the "every 3.5 years" part, so divide the x as an exponent by 3.5.
N(t) = 48 * 11/6^(t/3.5)
This equation is easy to test, and it's a good idea to test it after you write it. For example, after 3.5 years we know that it should have 48*11/6 branches. Does our equation work? Yes.
(a) Data with the eight day's measurement.
Raw data: [60,58,64,64,68,50,57,82],
Sorted data: [50,57,58,60,64,64,68,82]
Sample size = 8 (even)
mean = 62.875
median = (60+64)/2 = 62
1st quartile = (57+58)/2 = 57.5
3rd quartile = (64+68)/2 = 66
IQR = 66 - 57.5 = 8.5
(b) Data without the eight day's measurement.
Raw data: [60,58,64,64,68,50,57]
Sorted data: [50,57,58,60,64,64,68]
Sample size = 7 (odd)
mean = 60.143
median = 60
1st quartile = 57
3rd quartile = 64
IQR = 64 -57 = 7
Answers:
1. The average is the same with or without the 8th day's data. FALSE
2. The median is the same with or without the 8th day's data. FALSE
3. The IQR decreases when the 8th day is included. FALSE
4. The IQR increases when the 8th day is included. TRUE
5. The median is higher when the 8th day is included. TRUE
Answer:
m = -2 and b = -1/3
m = -2 and b = -2/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x - 1/3
y = -2x - 2/3
This system has no solutions because y cannot be 2 different values at once.
