Ms. Barnsley separates her class into two groups. She gives each student the same 25-question math quiz. Group A uses a calculator, while Group B does not. The table shows the completion times, in minutes, of students in each group.



Which statement is true about the distributions of completion times?

The students in Group A tended to complete the quiz in less time.
The median of Group A is greater than the median of Group B.
The means of both groups are about the same.
The standard deviation of Group B is less than the standard deviation of Group A.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The median of Group A is greater than the median of Group B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccccccc}{Group\ A} & 4.5 & 4.8 & 4.6 & 5.0 & 4.8 & 4.4 & 4.7 & 5.2 & 3.9 \ \\ {Group\ B} & 5.5 & 4.9 & 4.0 & 4.2 & 4.8 & 4.1 & 3.5 & 4.6 & 4.3 \ \end{array}[/tex]

Required

Which of the options is true

(a) Group A complete in less time

To do this, we calculate the average of both using:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

Where

[tex]n = 9[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\bar x_A = \frac{4.5 + 4.8 + 4.6 + 5.0 + 4.8 + 4.4 + 4.7 + 5.2 + 3.9}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_A = \frac{41.9}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_A = 4.66[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_B =\frac{5.5 + 4.9 + 4.0 + 4.2 + 4.8 + 4.1 + 3.5 + 4.6 + 4.3}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_B =\frac{39.9}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_B =4.43[/tex]

The average time of Group A is higher than that of B, this means that Group A spend more time, on average.

(b) Group A has a greater median

First, we sort the given data in ascending order

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccccccc}{Group\ A} & 3.9 & 4.4 & 4.5 & 4.6 & 4.7 & 4.8 & 4.8 & 5.0 & 5.2 \ \\ {Group\ B} & 3.5 & 4.0 & 4.1 & 4.2 & 4.3 & 4.6 & 4.8 & 4.9 & 5.5 \ \end{array}[/tex]

The median is then calculated using:

[tex]Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}th[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{10}{2}th[/tex]

[tex]Median = 5th[/tex]

The median is the fifth item for both groups.

So, we have:

[tex]A =4.7[/tex]

[tex]B =4.3[/tex]

4.7 is greater than 4.3

Hence, (b) is true

Since (b) is true and only one option is correct, then (c) and (d) are incorrect

Answer 2

b

Below is the normal distribution curve for height (inches) of NBA basketball players.

If there are 4500 NBA players, approximately how many of them are taller than 91 inches?(Round to nearest whole number)

Answers

Answer:  113

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

Explanation:

mu = 75 = mean, since it's at the centersigma = 8 = standard deviation (each gap between the tickmarks is 8 units wide)

From the given info, we see that 91 is two standard deviations above the mean. The diagram shows 91 is two tickmarks to the right of center. Or we could note that z = (x-mu)/sigma = (91-75)/8 = 2.

Roughly 95% of the normal distribution is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. I'm using the Empirical Rule.

So about 95% of the population is between 59 and 91 inches tall. That leaves 5% of the population in both tails combined. Cut this in half to get 2.5%

We have 2.5% of the population taller than 91 inches

2.5% of 4500 = 0.025*4500 = 112.5 = 113

Roughly 113 people are taller than 91 inches

----------

Side notes:

The answer is approximate because the Empirical Rule is just a rough approximation of percentages; also, I rounded 112.5 to 113 (it makes no sense to have half a person).59 inches = 4 ft, 11 in75 inches = 6 ft, 3 in91 inches = 7 ft, 7 inRoughly 95% of the population of NBA players is between 4 ft, 11 in and 7 ft, 7 in, according to this data set.

Find an angle with a positive measure and an angle with a negative measure that is coterminal with each angle 210° and - 120°

Answers

Answer:

For angle of 210°, coterminal angles are; 570° and -150°.

For angle of -120°, coterminal angles are; 240° and -480°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are asked to angle find angle that's coterminal, we will add/ subtract 360° from each angle respectively to get that because coterminal angles are defined as those that share the same terminal side. Thus;

For angle of 210°, coterminal angles are;

>> 210° + 360° = 570°

>> 210° - 360° = - 150°

For angle of -120°, coterminal angles are;

>> - 120° + 360° = 240°

>> - 120° - 360° = - 480°

If 1/8 of my money is $80. What is 50 % of my money

Answers

Answer:

$320

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to solve this problem is to undo the operations, Find the total amount of money, and then find half of the amount. Since (80) is ([tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]) the total amount of money, one has to multiply (80) by (8) to find the total amount of money.

(80) * (8)

= 640

Now one is asked to find (50%) of the money. It is known that (50%) is equivalent to (0.5), therefore multiply (640) by (0.5) to find how much (50%) of the money is.

(640) * (0.5)

= 320

Here, the selections are each one of the 10 questions, so we have 10 selections.

And each one of these selections has 3 options (true, false, blank)

So, we have 10 selections with 3 options each, then the total number of combinations will be:
