Radon is a naturally occurring gas and is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in the soil and enters buildings through cracks and other holes in the foundations. Found throughout the United States, levels vary considerably from state to state. Several methods can reduce the levels of radon in your home, and the Environmental Protection Agency ecommends using one of these if the measured level in your home is above 4 picocuries per liter. Four readings from Franklin County, Ohio, where the county average is 9.32 picocuries per liter, were 5.2, 13.8, 8.6, and 16.8.

Required:
a. Find the mean step-by-step.
b. Find the standard deviation step-by-step.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) mean =  11.1

b) Standard Deviation = 5.191

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

x = 5.2, 13.8, 8.6, and 16.8

sample n = 4

so;

            x            ( x - mean)²

          5.2             34.81

          13.8            7.29

          8.6             6.25

          16.8            32.49

∑        44.4            80.84

a) Mean

Mean = total sum of the sample divided by the sample size

mean = ∑x / n

we substitute

mean = 44.4 / 4

mean =  11.1

b)

Standard Deviation is the Square root of variance;

Variance = ∑(x-mean)² / n - 1

we substitute from the above table

Variance =  80.81 / 4 - 1

Variance =  80.81 / 3

Variance =  26.94667

now since Standard Deviation is the Square root of variance;

Standard Deviation = √Variance

Standard Deviation = √26.94667

Standard Deviation = 5.191

Two publishers have offered Melanie Thompson a deal on her new
book Sugar-Free Culinary Classics. The first has offered to pay
her $82,000 up front and a $5.50 royalty for every book it
sells. The second has offered to pay $68,000 up front and a
$6.75 royalty for every book it sells. Over what range of book
sales will Melanie make more from the second publisher than she
will from the first?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

68000+6.75b>82000+5.5b. subtract 5.5b from both sides

68000+1.25b>82000. subtract 68000 from both sides

1.25b>14000. divide both sides by 1.25

b>11200

So she must sell more than 11500 books to make more with second publisher.

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-7, 5) and (2,5).

Answers

There is no slope the y axis is the same in both

Answer:

slope = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula to find the slope: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Set (x1, y1) = (-7, 5)

Set (x2, y2) = (2, 5)

m = (5 - 5) / (2 - (-7))

m = (5 - 5) / (2 + 7)       FYI, negative * negative = positive

m = 0 / 9

If you plot the coordinates, they'll lie on a horizontal line. Therefore, the slope of the line is 0.

Tonya drove 343 miles the first day of her trip. how many days will it take her to drive the remaining 1,200 miles if she continues at the same rate?​

Answers

Answer:

3.5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Day\ 1 = 343\ miles[/tex]

Required

Number of days to drive 1200 miles

Represent as ratio:

[tex]Day\ 1 = 343\ miles[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 1 : 343[/tex]

For 1200 miles

[tex]Ratio = x : 1200[/tex]

Equate both ratios

[tex]x : 1200 = 1 : 343[/tex]

Express as fractions

[tex]x/1200 = 1/343[/tex]

Multiply by 120

[tex]x/1200 *1200= 1/343*1200[/tex]

[tex]x= 3.4985[/tex]

[tex]x= 3.5[/tex] --- approximated

A geometric series is a series in which the division of any consecutive two terms will be the same.

here, we have,

to determine the situation:

The given parameters are:

Initial = 5200

Rate = 5%

Because the population by 5% every year, then the situation is a geometric sequence.

The common ratio is then calculated as:

Ratio = 1 + Rate

This gives

Ratio = 1 + 5%

Evaluate

Ratio = 1.05

Hence, the situation represents a geometric sequence because the successive y-values have a common ratio of 1.05.

Solving linear equations

Answers

Answer:

1. P = [tex]\frac{I}{rt}[/tex]

2.  y = [tex]\frac{6 - 3x}{11}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{-3x +6}{11}[/tex]         (depending on how you want the equation arranged)

3. c = [tex]\frac{a-bd}{b}[/tex]

4 t = [tex]\frac{A - p }{pr}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. I =Prt for P:

I = Prt                           divide both sides by rt to isolate P

P = [tex]\frac{I}{rt}[/tex]

2. 3x + 11y = 6 for y

   3x + 11y = 6                  subtract 3x from both sides

   11y = 6 - 3x                   divide both sides by 11

   y = [tex]\frac{6 - 3x}{11}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{-3x +6}{11}[/tex]         depending on how you want the equation arranged

3. a = b(c + d) for c

   a = b(c + d)                distribute b to (c+d)

   a = bc + bd                subtract bd from both sides

   a - bd = bc                 divide both sides by b

   c = [tex]\frac{a-bd}{b}[/tex]

4. A = p + prt for t

   A = p + prt                   subtract p from both sides

   A - p = prt                    divide both sides by pr

   t = [tex]\frac{A - p }{pr}[/tex]
