Is the given question a statistical question? Explain. (NOT A MULTIPLE CHOICE)
a. "What is the tallest building in Chicago, Illinois?"

b. "What is the most popular store in the Turtlecreek Mall among among teenagers?"

Answers

Answer 1

Part (a)

Answer: No, it's not a statistical question

Why not? Because we can locate the tallest building without having to gather a sample and computing any statistical values based on the sample data. Note how we have one single building and we're focused on just that building only. We aren't asking anything about a population of buildings. Statistics is the science of trying to measure a population in some way, often through the use of a sample statistic. For example, if we asked "what is the average building height in Chicago, Illinois?", then we would be asking a statistical question. Ideally, we would measure every single building in the city. Of course, that's very time consuming and impractical. So the next best thing is to randomly select a sample of buildings and try to estimate the average height like that.

Once again, we're only focused on one single building and not several. So we don't do the operations of gathering a sample and we aren't doing any statistics here. We're simply measuring the building, or looking up the building height in some records database.

=============================================================

Part (b)

Answer: Yes, it is a statistical question

The population is the set of teenagers. This could be narrowed to just the teens in one specific town, county, or regional area. It doesn't make much sense to extend the population out too far because teens too far away would likely not visit this particular mall in question. Let's say the population is every teen in a certain county. We have a lot of people in this population, so we'll have to gather a sample. Doing a census is too time consuming and expensive. This process of gathering a sample points to this question being a statistical one. We don't know which store is the most popular, but we can get a fairly good idea through the sampling process. It won't be a 100% guarantee that we got the right one considering that again the sample isn't the exact population, but we should get close if we did the sampling right.

Note how the variable in question is a qualitative one. The store names are the categories or names that the teens select in the survey. This data type is nominal and not ordinal, since stores do not have an inherent rank (other than alphabetical but that's not of much importance). Also note that the responses for this random variable are, more or less, random in nature. We simply don't know how the teens will respond assuming we go into this completely blind. It's a good idea to do so to avoid bias. This random nature helps add evidence we have a statistical question here. The random variable value is not set in stone like the tallest building is. Keep in mind that the question for part (a) is asked to refer to a very specific narrow window of time. The same can be said for part (b) as well. Be sure to carefully set up the question and avoid any ambiguity.

To summarize, to answer such a question given to us we would need to gather a sample and compute sample statistics. This is why we have a statistical question here.

Answer:

x=1.816298 or x=−1.162524

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Multiply both sides by x^2.

x2=x4−3x3+8x2−16

x2−(x4−3x3+8x2−16)=x4−3x3+8x2−16−(x4−3x3+8x2−16)(Subtract x^4-3x^3+8x^2-16 from both sides)

−x4+3x3−7x2+16=0

(Use quartic formula)

x=−1.162524,1.816298

Two customers took out car loans from a bank.
Marcus took out a 5-year loan for $10,000 and paid 4.7% annual simple interest.
Gianna took out a 6-year loan for $10,000 and paid 4.5% annual simple interest.
What is the difference between the amounts of interest Marcus and Gianna paid for their car loans?
Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

The difference between the amounts of interest Marcus and Gianna paid for their car loan should be $350.

Calculation of the difference;

For Marcus, the interest be like

= ($10,000) (4.7%) (5)

= $2,700

And, for gianna, the interest be like

= ($10,000) (4.5%) (6)

= $2,350

So, the difference is

= $2,700 - $2,350

= $350

hence, The difference between the amounts of interest Marcus and Gianna paid for their car loan should be $350.

Answer:

$350

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula

[tex]\Large\boxed{\sf I=Prt}[/tex]

where:

I = total interest accruedP = principalr = interest rate (in decimal form)t = time (in years)

Marcus

Given:

P = $10,000r = 4.7% = 0.047t = 5 years

⇒ Interest = 10000 × 0.047 × 5

⇒ Interest  = $2,350

Gianna

Given:

P = $10,000r = 4.5% = 0.045t = 6 years

⇒ Interest  = 10000 × 0.045 × 6

⇒ Interest  = $2,700

Difference

Difference = Gianna's interest - Marcus' interest

                  = $2,700 - $2,350

                  = $350

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of shaded region = θ/360 × πr²

Where,

θ = 360 - 60 = 300°

r = 8

Plug in the values

[tex] area = \frac{300}{360} * \pi * 8² [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{5}{6} * \pi * 64 [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{5*\pi*64}{6} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{5*\pi*16} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{80\pi} [/tex]

An 8 kg box is at rest and is pushed for 10 m with a 60 N force. If it's accelerated to 10 m/s, calculate the efficiency of the force.

Answers

Answer:

  2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done on the box is ...

  Fd = (60 N)(10 m) = 600 N·m = 600 J

The amount of energy the box has as a result is ...

  KE = 1/2mv² = (1/2)(8 kg)(10 m/s)² = 400 kg·m²/s² = 400 J

The ratio of box energy to energy input is ...

  η = (400 J)/(600 J) = 2/3 . . . ≈ 66.7%

A rectangular prism with the dimensions of 9 cm by 4 cm by 6 cm will have 3 of the volume of this pyramid.
The volume of this pyramid is 216 cm

Answers

Answer:

- The area of the base of the pyramid, B, is 24 cm

- A rectangular prism with the dimensions of 9 cm by 4 cm by 6 cm will have 3 times volume of this pyramid.

Step-by-step explanation: Volume of a rectangular based pyramid = 1/3{Base area × Height}

Base Area = Length × Breadth

Volume = 1/3{(Length × Breadth) × Height}

Given a rectangular pyramid with a height of 9 centimeters and a base with the dimensions of 4

centimeters by 6 centimeters

Base Area = 4cm × 6cm

Base area = 24cm²

If Height =9cm

Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 × 24 × 9

Volume = 24 × 3

Volume of the pyramid = 72cm³

If the shape is a prism, the volume will be base area × height

= 24 × 9

= 216cm³

It can be seen that volume of rectangular prism = 3 × volume of rectangular pyramid.
