Answer:

The standard deviation of the number of rushing yards for the running backs that season is 350.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The mean number of rushing yards for the running backs that season is 790 yards. One running back had 1,637 rushing yards for the season, which is 2.42 standard deviations above the mean number of rushing yards.

Here it is given that mean is 790 and 1637 is 2.42 standard deviations above the mean.

Use the formula: z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Here z is 2.42 and μ is 790, substitute the respective values as shown.

2.42=\frac{1637-790}{\sigma}

\sigma=\frac{847}{2.42}

\sigma=350

Hence, the standard deviation of the number of rushing yards for the running backs that season is 350.

The 11th grade class at Red Hook high school was surveyed about the types of music they liked. Of those surveyed, 64% said they
Zarrin [17]

22% liked neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

64% liked pop music.

52% liked rap music.

38% liked both type of music.

To find out the percentage of those liked neither.

Now,

Let, total number of student = 100

Number of students liked pop = 64

Number of students liked rap = 52

Number of students liked both = 38

So,

Number of students who liked only pop = 64-38 = 26

Number of students who liked only rap = 52-38 = 14

Hence,

Number of students who liked neither = 100 - (26+14+38) = 22

22% liked neither.

The two lines, P and Q, are graphed below: Line P is drawn by joining ordered pairs negative 8,15 and 6, negative 12. Line Q is
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Solution:

Keep in mind ,

Equation of line joining two points (a,b) and (p,q) is given by :

     \frac{q-b}{p-a}=\frac{y-b}{x-a}

Equation of line P which is obtained by  joining  (- 8,15) and (6, - 12) is given by:  

\frac{y-15}{x+8}=\frac{-12-15}{6+8}\\\\ 14(y-15)=-27(x+8)\\\\ 14 y -210= -27 x - 216\\\\ 27 x+14 y+6=0

Equation of line Q which is obtained by  joining  (4,16) and (-9, 10) is given by:  

\frac{y-16}{x-4}=\frac{16-10}{4+9}\\\\ 13(y-16)=6(x-4)\\\\ 13 y -208= 6 x - 24\\\\ 6 x-13 y+184=0

Equation of line P and Q are

27 x+14 y+6=0-------(1)× 2

6 x-13 y+184=0-------(2)× 9

54 x + 2 8 y+12=0---(1)

54 x -117 y +1656=0----(2)

(1) - (2)

145 y= 1644

y=11.33,

27 x+14 y+6=0-------(1)×13

6 x-13 y+184=0-------(1)×14

351 x + 182 y + 78=0-----(1)

84 x - 182 y +2576=0----(2)

(1) + (2)

435 x + 2654=0

x = - 6.11

So, solution set is (-6.11, 11.33)

Option (C) is true. (−2, 4), because this point makes both the equations incorrect.

1. The following are the number of hours that 10 police officers have spent being trained in how to handle encounters with peopl
dusya [7]

Answer:

Range = 16

Inter\ Quartile\ Range = 6.75

Variance = 20.44

Standard\ Deviation = 4.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4, 17, 12, 9, 6, 10, 1, 5, 9, 3

Calculating the range;

Range = Highest - Lowest

From the given data;

Highest = 17 and Lowest = 1

Hence;

Range = 17 - 1

Range = 16

Calculating the Inter-quartile Range

Inter quartile range (IQR) is calculates as thus

IQR = Q_3 - Q_1

Where

Q3 = Upper Quartile and Q1 = Lower Quartile

<em />

<em>Start by arranging the data in ascending order</em>

1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 9, 10, 12, 17

N = Number of data; N = 10

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calculating Q3

Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(N+1) th\ item

<em>Substitute 10 for N</em>

Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(10+1) th\ item

Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(11) th\ item

Q_3 = \frac{33}{4} th\ item

Q_3 = 8.25 th\ item

Express 8.25 as 8 + 0.25

Q_3 = (8 + 0.25) th\ item

Q_3 = 8th\ item + 0.25 th\ item

Express 0.25 as fraction

Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} th\ item

Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} (9th\ item - 8th\ item)

From the arranged data;

8th\ item = 10 and 9th\ item = 12

Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} (9th\ item - 8th\ item)

Q_3 = 10 +\frac{1}{4} (12 - 10)

Q_3 = 10 +\frac{1}{4} (2)

Q_3 = 10 +0.5

Q_3 = 10.5

Calculating Q1

Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(N+1) th\ item

<em>Substitute 10 for N</em>

Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(10+1) th\ item

Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(11) th\ item

Q_1 = \frac{11}{4} th\ item

Q_1 = 2.75 th\ item

Express 2.75 as 2 + 0.75

Q_1 = (2 + 0.75) th\ item

Q_1 = 2nd\ item + 0.75 th\ item

Express 0.75 as fraction

Q_1 = 2nd\ item +\frac{3}{4} th\ item

Q_1 = 2nd\ item +\frac{3}{4} (3rd\ item - 2nd\ item)

From the arranged data;

2nd\ item = 3 and 3rd\ item = 4

Q_1 = 3 +\frac{3}{4} (4 - 3)

Q_1 = 3 +\frac{3}{4} (1)

Q_1 = 3 +0.75

Q_1 = 3 .75

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recall that

IQR = Q_3 - Q_1

IQR = 10.5 - 3.75

IQR = 6.75

Calculating Variance

Start by calculating the mean

Mean = \frac{1+3+4+5+6+9+9+10+12+17}{10}

Mean = \frac{76}{10}

Mean = 7.6

Subtract the mean from each data, then square the result

(1 - 7.6)^2 = (-6.6)^2 = 43.56

(3 - 7.6)^2 = (-4.6)^2 = 21.16

(4 - 7.6)^2 = (-3.6)^2 = 12.96

(5 - 7.6)^2 = (-2.6)^2 = 6.76

(6 - 7.6)^2 = (-1.6)^2 = 2.56

(9 - 7.6)^2 = (1.4)^2 = 1.96

(9 - 7.6)^2 = (1.4)^2 = 1.96

(10 - 7.6)^2 = (2.4)^2 = 5.76

(12 - 7.6)^2 = (4.4)^2 = 19.36

(17 - 7.6)^2 = (9.4)^2 = 88.36

Sum the result

43.56 + 21.16 + 12.96 + 6.76 + 2.56 + 1.96 + 1.96 + 5.76 + 19.36 + 88.36 = 204.4

Divide by number of observation;

Variance = \frac{204.4}{10}

Variance = 20.44

Calculating Standard Deviation (SD)

SD = \sqrt{Variance}

SD = \sqrt{20.44}

SD = 4.52 <em>(Approximated)</em>
