Explain how to know when to use mean, median, or mode as a measure of
central tendency. For each measure, give an example of a situation where the
center should be used.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean

The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.

Median

Arrange your numbers in numerical order.

Count how many numbers you have.

If you have an odd number, divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number.

If you have an even number, divide by 2.

Mode

To find the mode, or modal value, it is best to put the numbers in order. Then count how many of each number. A number that appears most often is the mode.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For Part A, use the pythagorean theorem to find the height, which ca be found by finding one length of the leg. Using the imaginary bisector, you can determine one of the legs is 5 cm, and the hypotenuse is 13 cm

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. Plug in the values to solve for one leg, you get 25+b^2=169

Solve algebraically, b^2= 144, so b=12, which is the height.

Part B

Determine the surface area of each cardboard piece, and add together.

20 × 13 × 2 = 520

1/2 × 10 × 12 × 2 = 120

20 × 10 = 200

So approximately 840 cm of cardboard was used

Answer:

[tex]a. \ \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}[/tex]

[tex]b. \ \dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates with rules of indices

(a) The give expression is presented as follows;

[tex]\dfrac{m^3 \times \left (n^{-2} \right )^4 \times (5 \cdot m)^4}{\left (3 \cdot m^2 \cdot n \right )^3}[/tex]

By expanding the expression, we get;

[tex]\dfrac{m^3 \times n^{-8} \times 5^4 \times m^4}{\left 3^3 \times m^6 \times n^3}[/tex]

Collecting like terms gives;

[tex]\dfrac{m^{(3 + 4 - 6)} \times 5^4}{ 3^3 \times n^{3 + 8}} = \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{m^3 \times \left (n^{-2} \right )^4 \times (5 \cdot m)^4}{\left (3 \cdot m^2 \cdot n \right )^3}= \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}[/tex]

(b) The given expression is presented as follows;

[tex]x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \div (x \cdot y^n)^4[/tex]

Therefore, we get;

[tex]x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \times x^{-4} \times y^{-4 \cdot n}[/tex]

Collecting like terms gives;

[tex]x^{3 \cdot m + 2 - 4} \times \left (y^{3 \cdot n - 3 -4 \cdot n}} \right ) = x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \times \left (y^{ - 3 -n}} \right ) = x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \div \left (y^{ 3 + n}} \right )[/tex]

[tex]x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \div \left (y^{ 3 + n}} \right ) = \dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}[/tex]

[tex]x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \times x^{-4} \times y^{-4 \cdot n} =\dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}[/tex]

O No, the distance from (3, 0) to (2, 6) is not 3 units.
O No, the distance from (0, 0) to (2, 6) is not 3 units.

Answers

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

the square root of 6 is roughly 1.57

so that means the ordered pair would read (2,1.57).

if you were to plot that point it would be on the circle.

Also the distance from the origin (0,0) to (3,0) is 3 units

We will see that the correct option is:

"No, the distance from (0, 0) to (2, 6) is not 3 units."

Does (2, 6) lie on the circle shown?

We know that the circle has a radius of 3 units, then we need to see if the distance between (0, 0) and (2, 6) is 3 units.

Here we have:

[tex]D = \sqrt{(6 - 0)^2 + (2 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 4} = \sqrt{40} \neq 3[/tex]

So the distance between (0, 0) and (2, 6) is different than 3 units, meaning that the point is not in the circle.

The lengths of the diameters of two concentric circles are 6 and 8. What is the distance between the circles?

The difference in these radii values is 4-3 = 1.

If the blue radius below is perpendicular to the chord AC which is. 14 units long, what is the length of the segment AB?

Answers

Answer:

C. 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of the chord of the circle, [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex] = 14 units

The orientation of the radius and the chord = The radius is perpendicular to the chord

We have in ΔAOC, [tex]\overline{AO}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{OC}[/tex] = The radius of the circle

[tex]\overline{OB}[/tex] ≅ [tex]\overline{OB}[/tex]  by reflexive property

The angle at point B = 90° by angle formed by the radius which is perpendiclar to the chord [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex]

ΔAOB and ΔCOB are right triangles (triangles having one 90° angle)

[tex]\overline{AO}[/tex] and [tex]\overline{OC}[/tex] are hypotenuse sides of ΔAOB and ΔCOB respectively and [tex]\overline{OB}[/tex] is a leg to ΔAOB and ΔCOB

Therefore;

ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOB, by Hypotenuse Leg rule of congruency

Therefore;

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] ≅ [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, CPCTC

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] by definition of congruency

[tex]\overline{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] + [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] by segment addition postulate

∴ [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] + [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] =  [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] + [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = 2 ×  [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex]

∴  [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex]/2

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = 14/2 = 7

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = 7 units.

Answers

30 Kmh-1 = (30×1000) ÷3600 = 8.3ms-1

60 Kmh-1 = (60×1000) ÷3600 = 16.6 ms-1

acceleration = (16.6 - 8.3) ÷ 5 = 1.66 ms-2

A regular square pyramid has a slant height of 5 in and a base area of 49 in2. Find the surface area of the pyramid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 171.5 square inches 70 square inches 119 square inches 245 square inches

Answers

Answer:

C: 119 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Slant height; L = 5 in

Base area; B = 49 in²

Since it's a square pyramid, the base portion has a square shape.

Thus, area of base = x²

Where x is a side of the square.

Thus;

x² = 49

x = √49

x = 7

Perimeter of base = 7 × 4 = 28 in

Area of pyramid = ½PL + B

Plugging in the relevant values;

Area of pyramid = (½ × 28 × 5) + 49

Area of pyramid = 119 in²

provisions for 630 men to last for 25 days. How many men must be transferred to another camp so that the food lasts for 30 days?​

Answers

Answer:

105

Step-by-step explanation:

25 days = Food for 630 men

30 days = x           (Inverse variation)

30 * x = 630 * 25

x = 630 * 25/30

  = 21 * 25

  = 525 men.

630 - 525 = 105 men.

Therefore, 105 men must be transferred to another camp so that the food lasts for 30 days.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find the area of the shaded region, you'd find the area of the white rectangular shape, next, find the area of the whole triangular shape, then find the difference of their areas to get the area of the shaded region. Thus, the formula to use would be:

Area of shaded region = area of triangle - area of rectangle

Area of shaded region = ½*base*height - length*width

1. a. Volume of triangular prism = area of triangular base * height of prism

Volume of triangular prism = ½bh * H

Where,

b = 6 m

h = 4 m

H = 8 m

Substitute

Volume of prism = ½*6*4*8

Volume of prism = 96 m³

b. Volume of sphere = ⁴/3πr³

Where,

r = 9 cm

Substitute

Volume = ⁴/3*π*9³

Volume = ⁴/3*π*729

Volume ≈ 3,053.6 cm³ (nearest tenth)

2. Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the cone

radius of the cone (r) = ½(16) = 8 cm

Slant height (l) = 11 cm

height (h) = ?

Using Pythagorean theorem, we have:

h = √(l² - r²)

Substitute

h = √(11² - 8²)

h = √(57)

h ≈ 7.5 cm (nearest tenth)

b. Volume of the cone = ⅓πr²h

where,

r = 8 cm

h = 7.5 cm

Volume = ⅓*π*8²*7.5

Volume = 502.7 cm³ (nearest tenth)
