29. Family income in the middle class: Bauer et al. (2011) identified the median income of a middle-class family in their sample to be $84,200 annually; the mean family income was $85,300 annually. In their data, the lowest family income reported in this group was $65,100 annually, and the highest family income reported was $103,400 annually. Based on the data given, was the mean an appropriate value to summarize these data

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

No it is not

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is 84200

The mean is 85300

Low income is 65100

High income is 103400

From this information, we can see a skewed data. The mean would not be a good estimate value. Rather the center (median) would be more appropriate.

When we calculate the middle value for this data

65100+103400 = 168500/2 = 84250

84250 is closer to the median score of 84200. The median is best in the presence of outliers.

Answer:

The decimal form of the equation is y = 2.5x + 10

The equivalent fraction form is y = (5/2)x + 10 because 5/2 = 2.5

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

Explanation:

We can pick any two columns from the table to form the two points needed.

I'll pick the first two columns

(1, 12.5)

(2, 15)

Then apply the slope formula to those points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (15-12.5)/(2-1)

m = (2.5)/(1)

m = 2.5

Now use that slope with either point mentioned to find the y intercept b.

y = mx+b

12.5 = 2.5*1 + b

12.5 = 2.5 + b

12.5 - 2.5 = b

10 = b

b = 10

Or

y = mx+b

15 = 2.5*2+b

15 = 5+b

15-5 = b

10 = b

b = 10

We end up with the same b value.

We found that m = 2.5 is the slope and b = 10 is the y intercept

Therefore we go from y = mx+b to y = 2.5x + 10

This is the same as saying y = (5/2)x + 10 since 2.5 = 5/2

75,000 live bacteria are present in a culture in a flask. When an antibiotic is
added to the culture, the number of live bacteria is reduced as shown by the
equation. Approximately how many hours have passed when there are 4500
bacteria left alive?
4500 = 75,000 e-0.1733t

Answers

Answer:

16.23 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the number of hours that have passed ; we have to solve for t on the equation ;

4500 = 75,000 e^-0.1733t

Divide both sides by 75000

4500/75000 = e^-0.1733t

0.06 = e^-0.1733t

Take the In of both sides ;

In(0.06) = - 0.1733t

-2.813410 = - 0.1733t

Divide both sides by - 0.1733

t = 16.23 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Emily + Yani + Joyce=3209 stickers

if Yani has 2 times as many stickers as Joyce:this statement states that Joyce has x stickers and Yani has 2x stickers because x multiplied by 2

"Emily has 279 more stickers than Yani":therefore the equation for Emily will be ;279+2x

how many stickers does Emily have than Joyce:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Perpendicular to

[tex]7y = x -4[/tex]

Passes through

[tex](-2,1)[/tex]

Required

The equation

First, we calculate the slope of:

[tex]7y = x -4[/tex]

Divide through by 7

[tex]y = \frac{1}{7}x - \frac{4}{7}[/tex]

A linear function is:

[tex]y=mx + c[/tex]

Where;

[tex]m \to slope[/tex]

So:

[tex]m = \frac{1}{7}[/tex]

For the perpendicular line; the slope is:

[tex]m_2 = -\frac{1}{m}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m_2 = -\frac{1}{1/7}[/tex]

[tex]m_2 = -7[/tex]

The equation is:

[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = -7(x - -2) + 1[/tex]

[tex]y = -7(x +2) + 1[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]y = -7x -14 + 1[/tex]

[tex]y = -7x -13[/tex]

The residual for the house with 6 bedrooms is -26k.

What is Scatterplots?

Scatterplots are the plotting of set of points on a vertical axis and an horizontal axis. The shows the correlation extent between the numbers of the observed quantities.

Given is a scatterplot showing the selling price of houses with the number of bedrooms.

Equation of the line of best fit is given as,

y = 6.3x + 4.8

Residual = Actual value - Predicted value

From the scatterplot,

Actual selling price of house with 6 bedrooms = 40 × 10,000 = 400,000

Predicted selling price for 6 bedrooms = (6.3 × 6) + 4.8

                                                                 = 42.6 × 10,000

                                                                 = 426,000

Residual = 400,000 - 426,000

              = -26,000

Hence the residual is -26k.

This problem seems like a lot when you read through it, but when you start to analyze the problem, the whole first line is extra information that we don't actually need. The part we really need to pay attention to is:

"p = qr - f, write the equation with q solved in terms of p, r, and f."

So, all we are doing here is some manipulating of the equation to get what we want. So, if p = qr - f, we can isolate the variable (q), to get p + f = qr. Now all we have to do is divide both sides by r to isolate the variable (q) even further, and we get [tex]$\frac{p+f}{r}=q$[/tex] or [tex]$r=\frac{p+f}{r}$[tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

χ² Critical value (two - tailed), df = (60-1) = 59

χ² = 45.577 ; χ² = 73.279
