Answer: B - The mean height of all the students of the college.

Explanation:

In statistics, the concept of parameter refers to the value that you want to know about a population to characterize it, for example, mean height, mean age, etc.

In this case, the value that you want to know about the population of the college is the mean height of its students, so the correct option is B.

The following concepts are used in statistics that can be applied to the given example:

- Population (all students of the university).

- Parameter (mean height of university students).

- Sample (the 25 randomly selected students).

- Elements (the heights of the selected students).

- Estimator (average height of randomly selected students).

A certain firm has plants a, b, and c producing respectively 35\%, 15\%, and 50\% of the total output. The probabilities of a no
TEA [102]

The proportion of production that is defective and from plant A is

... 0.35·0.25 = 0.0875

The proportion of production that is defective and from plant B is

... 0.15·0.05 = 0.0075

The proportion of production that is defective and from plant C is

... 0.50·0.15 = 0.075

Thus, the proportion of defective product that is from plant C is

... 0.075/(0.0875 +0.0075 +0.075) = 75/170 = 15/34 ≈ 44.12%

_____

P(C | defective) = P(C&defective)/P(defective)

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?
alina1380 [7]

A function is a relation for which each value from the set the first components of the ordered pairs is associated with exactly one value from the set of second components of the ordered pair.

{(2, –2), (1, 5), (–2, 2), (1, –3), (8, –1)} - it's a function

{(3, –1), (7, 1), (–6, –1), (9, 1), (2, –1)} - it's a function

{(6, 8), (5, 2), (–2, –5), (1, –3), (–2, 9)} - it's a function

{(–3, 1), (6, 3), (–3, 2), (–3, –3), (1, –1)} - it's not a function

Andre and Diego were each trying to solve 2x+6=3x−8. Describe the first step they each make to the equation. The result of Andre
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

  • Andre subtracted 3x from both sides
  • Diego subtracted 2x from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Andre</u>

Comparing the result of Andre's work with the original, we see that the "3x" term on the right is missing, and the x-term on the left is 3x less than it was. It is clear that Andre subtracted 3x from both sides of the equation.

__

<u>Diego</u>

Comparing the result of Diego's work with the original, we see that the "2x" term on the left is missing, and the x-term on the right is 2x less than it was. It is clear that Diego subtracted 2x from both sides of the equation.

_____

<em>Comment on their work</em>

IMO, Diego has the right idea, as his result leaves the x-term with a positive coefficient. He can add 8 and he's finished, having found that x=14.

Andre can subtract 6 to isolate the variable term, and that will give him -x=-14. This requires another step to get to x=14. Sometimes minus signs get lost, so this would not be my preferred sequence of steps.

As a rule, I like to add the opposite of the variable term with the least (most negative) coefficient. This results in the variable having a positive coefficient, making errors easier to avoid.

A ball is thrown upward and outward from a height of 77 feet. the height of the​ ball, f(x), in​ feet, can be modeled by f left
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
From the given function modeling the height of the ball:
f(x)=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
A] The maximum height of the ball will be given by:
At max height f'(x)=0
from f(x), 
f'(x)=-0.4x+1.4
solving for x we get:
-0.4x=-1.4
x=3.5ft
thus the maximum height would be:
f(3.5)=-0.2(3.5)^2+1.4(3.5)+7
f(3.5)=9.45 ft

b]
How far from where the ball was thrown did this occur:
from (a), we see that at maximum height f'(x)=0
f'(x)=-0.4x+1.4
solving for x we get:
-0.4x=-1.4
x=3.5ft
This implies that it occurred 3.5 ft from where the ball was thrown.


 c] How far does the ball travel horizontally?
f(x)=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
evaluationg the expression when f(x)=0 we get:
0=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
Using quadratic equation formula:
x=-3.37386 or x=10.3739
We leave out the negative and take the positive answer. Hence the answer 10.3739 ft horizontally.
