The numbers of regular season wins for 10 football teams in a given season are given below. Determine the range, mean, variance, and standard deviation of the population data set.
2, 10, 15, 4, 11, 10, 15, 10, 2, 10
Answer:
a
[tex]R =13[/tex]
b
[tex]\= x =8.9[/tex]
c
[tex]var(x) = 16.57[/tex]
d
[tex]\sigma = 4.1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are given a data set
2, 10, 15, 4, 11, 10, 15, 10, 2, 10
The sample size is n = 10
The range is
[tex]R = maxNum - MinNum[/tex]
Where maxNum is the maximum number on the data set which is 15
and MinNum is the minimum number on the data set which is 2
So
[tex]R = 15 - 2[/tex]
[tex]R =13[/tex]
The mean is mathematically represented as
[tex]\= x = \frac{\sum x_i}{N}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\= x = \frac{2 + 10 + 15 + 4 + 11 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 2 + 10 }{10}[/tex]
[tex]\= x =8.9[/tex]
The variance is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]var(x) = \frac{\sum (x - \= x)^2}{N}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]var(x) = \frac{(2 - 8.9 )^2 + (10 - 8.9 )^2 + (15 - 8.9 )^2 +(4 - 8.9 )^2 +(11 - 8.9 )^2 +(10 - 8.9 )^2 +(15 - 8.9 )^2 +(10 - 8.9 )^2 +} {10}[/tex] [tex]\frac{(2 - 8.9 )^2 +(10 - 8.9 )^2 }{10}[/tex]
[tex]var(x) = 16.57[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{var(x)}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{16.57}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = 4.1[/tex]

Answer:
-52, and the opposite of this is 52.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are losing 52 pounds, then our number is -52 since we are losing 52 pounds (adding a negative number to a positive number is the same as subtracting that number).
The opposite of a number is when we negate the number, or multiply it by -1.
A negative number times a negative number is a positive number.
[tex]-52\cdot-1 = 52\cdot1 = 52[/tex]
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Hey there!
Loss of 52 pounds, -52
Opposite, 52

Answer:
Option (3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard deviation for the binomial distribution is given by,
σ = [tex]\sqrt{n\times P(1-P)}[/tex]
where n = Number of trials
P = probability of success of an individual trail
If n = 47 and P = 0.4
σ = [tex]\sqrt{47\times 0.4(1-0.4)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{47\times 0.24}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{11.28}[/tex]
= 3.3586
≈ 3.36
Therefore, standard deviation for the binomial distribution will be 3.36.
Option (3) will be the answer.

Answer:
(–8, –6)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given points represent the x- and y- intercepts of the line, so we can write the equation in intercept form as ...
x/(x-intercept) +y/(y-intercept) = 1
x/(-2) +y/2 = 1 . . . use the given intercepts
x - y = -2 . . . . . multiply by -2
Then the system is ...
y = 2x +10x - y = -2Using the first to substitute into the second, we get ...
x - (2x +10) = -2
-8 = x . . . . . . . . . . . add x+2, simplify
y = 2(-8) +10 = -6
The solution is (x, y) = (-8, -6).

Which of the following expressions could be used to find 80% of X (the lines are there to show the different expressions)
Answer:
80/100 times x => [tex] \frac{80}{100}*x [/tex]
(0.8) times x => [tex] (0.8)*x [/tex]
4/5 times x => [tex] \frac{4}{5}*x [/tex]
8/10 times x => [tex] \frac{8}{10}*x [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
80% of x means 80 ÷ 100 × x
that is: [tex] \frac{80}{100}*x = \frac{8}{10}*x = \frac{4}{5}*x = (0.8)*x [/tex]
Therefore, the expressions that can be used to find 80% of x are:
80/100 times x => [tex] \frac{80}{100}*x [/tex]
(0.8) times x => [tex] (0.8)*x [/tex]
4/5 times x => [tex] \frac{4}{5}*x [/tex]
8/10 times x => [tex] \frac{8}{10}*x [/tex]
The JUST-SAY-MOW lawn mowing company consists of two people: Marsha and Bob. If Marsha cuts the lawn by herself, she can do it in 3 hours. If Bob cuts the same lawn himself, it takes him an hour longer than Marsha. How long would it take them if they worked together? Round to the nearest hundredth of an hour.
Answer:
it will take them 1.71 hours to finish cutting the lawn if they work together.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Marsha cuts the lawn by herself it will take her 3 hours, this mean that in one hour she cuts 1/3 of the lawn.
On the other hand Bob needs one more hour to finish the lawn, this means it takes him 4 hours to cut it and therefore he cuts 1/4 of the lawn per hour.
Now, to know how much they cut by working together we need to sum up the amount of lawn they cut per hour:
Working together in one hour: Marsha's one hour + Bob's one hour
Working together in one hour: [tex]\frac{1}{3}+ \frac{1}{4}=\frac{4+3}{12}=\frac{7}{12}[/tex]
Therefore, working together they will cut 7/12 in one hour.
Now, to know how long will it take it to cut the entire lawn (which is equivalent to 12/12), we can write this in terms of proportions
Time Total amount of lawn
1 hour 7/12
x hours 12/12
Solving for x (to know the amount of hours it will take them) we have:
[tex]x=\frac{12}{12}[/tex]÷[tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]=[tex]1[/tex]×[tex]\frac{12}{7}=\frac{12}{7}=1.714[/tex]
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, we have that working together it will take them 1.71 hours to finish cutting the lawn.
He claims that the measures of the three sides of triangle ABX are all equal to AX, making AABX equilateral. Since this makes central angle AXB

what is the quotient of (2x^4-3x^3–3x^2+7x-3)/(c^2-2x+1)
Answer:
[tex]2x^2 + x - 3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to divide [tex]2x^4 - 3x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x - 3[/tex] by [tex]x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex]
To do the long division, divide each term by [tex]x^2[/tex] and then subtract the product of the result and [tex]x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex] from the remaining part of the equation.
Whatever term/value you obtain from each step of the division is a part of the quotient.
When you reach 0, you have gotten to the end of the division.
Check the steps carefully and follow them below:
Step 1:
Divide [tex]2x^4[/tex] by [tex]x^2[/tex]. You get [tex]2x^2[/tex].
Step 2
Multiply [tex]2x^2[/tex] by [tex]x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex] and subtract from [tex]2x^4 - 3x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x - 3[/tex]:
[tex]2x^4 - 3x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x - 3 - (2x^4 - 4x^3 + 2x^2)[/tex] = [tex]x^3 - 5x^2 + 7x - 3[/tex]
Step 3
Divide [tex]x^3[/tex] by [tex]x^2[/tex]. You get x.
Step 4
Multiply x by [tex]x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex] and subtract from [tex]x^3 - 5x^2 + 7x - 3[/tex]:
[tex]x^3 - 5x^2 + 7x - 3 - (x^3 - 2x^2 + x) = -3x^2 +6x - 3[/tex]
Step 5
Divide [tex]-3x^2[/tex] by [tex]x^2[/tex]. You get -3
Step 6
Multiply -3 by [tex]x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex] and subtract from [tex]-3x^2 +6x - 3[/tex]:
[tex]-3x^2 +6x - 3 - (-3x^2 + 6x -3) = 0[/tex]
From the three divisions, we got [tex]2x^2[/tex], x and -3.
Therefore, the quotient is [tex]2x^2 + x - 3[/tex].

11) $ 8,000 is invested in an account that yields 6% interest per year. After how many years will the account be worth 13709.60$ if the interest is compounded monthly?
Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 9\text{ years} \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
First of all, a few remarks:
>>> 1 year is 12 months, right?
>>> Monthly compounding means that each month we compute the interest and they will be included in the investment for the next month.
>>> 6% is an interest per year, it means that to compute the interest for 1 month we need to compute by 6% multiplied by [tex]\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex]
Let's do it !
At the beginning, we have:
$8,000
After 1 month, we will have:
[tex]8000 + 8000\cdot \dfrac{6\%}{12}=8000\cdot (1+ \dfrac{6}{1200})= 8000\cdot (1+ \dfrac{1}{200})[/tex]
After 2 months, we will have:
[tex]8000\cdot (1+ \dfrac{1}{200})\cdot (1+ \dfrac{1}{200})=8000\cdot \left(1+ \dfrac{1}{200}\right)^2[/tex]
After n months, we will have
[tex]8000\cdot \left(1+ \dfrac{1}{200}\right)^n=8000\cdot \left(1.005\right)^n[/tex]
We are looking for n such that
[tex]8000\cdot \left(1.005\right)^n=13709.60\\\\ln(8000)+ n\cdot ln(1.005)=ln(13709.60)\\\\\\n = \dfrac{ln(13709.60)-ln(8000)}{ln(1.005)}=108[/tex]
So, we need 108 months to reach this amount, which means 108/12=9 years.
Hope this helps.

The eighth grade class at Seven Bridges Middle School has 93 students. Each student takes a current events class, a foreign language class, or both a current events class and a foreign language class. There are 70 eighth graders taking a current events class, and there are 54 eighth graders taking a foreign language class. How many eighth graders take only a current events class and not a foreign language class?
Answer:
31
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of eighth graders take only a current events class and not a foreign language class is shown below:-
We will assume the x that shows the number of students which we will take both languages
So, the equation will be
70 + 54 - x = 93
-x = 93 - 124
x = 31 students
So the number of eighth graders only take a current event class is
= 70 - 39
= 31 students

Find the value of Xº if
Question: Find the value of Xº if <ADC = 71°
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
<ADC = 71°
<ADB = (x + 7)°
<BDC = (2x + 19)°
Required:
Value of x
Solution:
<ADB + <BDC = <ADC
(x + 7)° + (2x + 19)° = 71°
x + 7 + 2x + 19 = 71
x + 2x + 7 + 19 = 71
3x + 26 = 71
Subtract 26 from both sides
3x + 26 - 26 = 71 - 26
3x = 45
Divide both sides by 3 to make x the subject of formula
[tex] \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{45}{3} [/tex]
[tex] x = 15 [/tex]
The value of x is 15.
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for a quantity of the Isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass. Starting with 210 grams of a
radioactive isotope, how much will be left after 6 half-lives?
Round your answer to the nearest gram
Answer:
after 6 half lives: 210(1/2)^6= 3.28125
Step-by-step explanation:
isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass at first:
210(1/2)=105 half it is original weight
after second life: 210(1/2)^2=105(1/2)=52.5
after third : 210(1/2)^3=52.5/2=26.25
after fourth : 26.25/2=12.125
after fifth : 13.125/2
after 6 half lives: 210(1/2)^6= 3.28125
Price of an item is reduced by 40% of its original price. A week later it’s reduced 20% of the reduced price. What’s the actual % of the reduction from the original price
Answer: 52%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price be 100.
After 40% reduction, price will be 100 - 40% = 60
After further 20% reduction, price will be 60 - 20% = 48
%age = (cur val - orig. val ) / orig val x 100
= (48 - 100) / 100 x 100%
= -52
The actual percentage of reduction is 52%
The first reduction is given as:
[tex]r_1 = 40\%[/tex]
The second reduction is given as:
[tex]r_2 = 20\%[/tex]
Assume that the original price of the item is x.
After the first reduction of 40%, the new price would be:
[tex]New = x\times (1 -r_1)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]New = x\times (1 -40\%)[/tex]
[tex]New = x\times 0.6[/tex]
[tex]New = 0.6x[/tex]
After the second reduction of 20% on the reduced price, the new price would be:
[tex]New = 0.6x\times (1 -r_2)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]New = 0.6x\times (1 -20\%)[/tex]
[tex]New = 0.6x\times 0.8[/tex]
[tex]New = 0.48x[/tex]
Recall that the original price is x.
So, the actual reduction is:
[tex]Actual = \frac{x - 0.48x}{x}[/tex]
[tex]Actual = \frac{0.52x}{x}[/tex]
Divide
[tex]Actual = 0.52[/tex]
Express as percentage
[tex]Actual = 52\%[/tex]
Hence, the actual percentage of reduction is 52%

The exact heights of different elephants Choose the correct answer below. A. The data are continuous because the data can only take on specific values. B. The data are discrete because the data can take on any value in an interval. C. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values. D. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.
Answer:
Option d: The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data are continuous if they can take on any value within a range. In this case study, there are different elephants including small/young ones and big ones/old ones.
Thus, their heights will vary and can take on any value within a particular range.
The product of 6 and a number (n) is 48 . Which equation shows this relationship? ANSWER CHOICES: 6n=48 n+6=48 48n=6 n-6=48
Answer:
6n=48
Step-by-step explanation:
product means multiplication
6×n=48
6n=48
An equation that shows this relationship is: A. 6n = 48.
How to determine the equation representing the product?In order to solve this word problem, we would assign a variable to the unknown number, and then translate the word problem into an algebraic equation as follows:
Let the variable n represent the unknown number.
Based on the statement "The product of 6 and a number is 48," we can logically deduce the following algebraic equation;
6 × n = 48
6n = 48
n = 48/6
n = 8.

Just trying to finish this so I can get my stanceboy racecar back
Answer:
x ≥ 4 AND x + y ≤ 10
Step-by-step explanation:
If you need up to 10 volunteers, then you can take 10 or less. If we add y and x, we'll get the total amount of people, therefore making the inequality:
x + y ≤ 10.
Now, he needs no fewer than 4 females, so he can take 4 or greater. This means that x should be greater than or equal to 4.
x ≥ 4.
Nothing was mentioned about how many males he needed (y) so these two inequalities match the situation.
Hope this helped!
