To find: Which measure of central tendency best represent the data, justify your answer and then find the measure.
Answer to Problem 1CYU
Mean would best represent the data and the mean of the data is 14.1
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Archmont High School is recycling newspaper as a fundraiser to buy some benches for the courtyard. The newspapers are gathered into 5-inch bundles. Ms. Sato counted the bundles received each Friday for the first quarter of the school year: 15, 12, 14, 15, 18, 15, 13, 14, 13, 12.
Calculation:
First list the value from least to the greatest:
12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, 18
Since, the data has no outliers so the mean would best represent the data.
Also, mean is the sum of the data divided by total number of data. Therefore,
Hence,
Mean would best represent the data and the mean of the data is 14.1

- Calcúlate the cross product of v and warrow_forwardConsider the following elevation function for a region of irregular terrain: z(x, y) = 1 x² + y² 25 Here, z is the elevation of the terrain over a point (x, y) with x and y being the horizontal coordinates. The region of interest lies between x = 0 and x = 5, and y 0 and y = 5. Your tasks are the following: = 1. Analyze how the elevation changes with respect to x and y. To find the elevation changes, calculate the partial derivatives of the elevation function z with respect to x and 2. Calculate the total volume of soil above the 0-level (z region of interest. = y. 0). To do so, integrate z(x, y) over the wholearrow_forwardA truck loaded with rocks weighs 14,260 lb.

- Make up two polynomial functions, f(x) and g(x). • f(x) should be of degree 3 or higher. g(x) should be of degree 4 or higher. • Find f(3) in each of the three ways: substitution, remainder theorem (synthetic division), and long division. You should get the same answer three times for f(3). Find g(-2) once using your choice of the three methods.arrow_forwardere are many real-world situations that exhibit exponential and logarithmic nctions. • Describe two real world scenarios, one exponential and one logarithmic. Do not identify yet whether your scenarios are logarithmic or exponential.arrow_forwardstacie is a resident at a medical facility you work at.

- I've been struggling with this because of how close the numbers are together!! I would really appreciate if someone could help me❤️arrow_forwardMatrix MЄ R4×4, as specified below, is an orthogonal matrix - thus, it fulfills MTM = I. M (ELES),- m2,1. We know also that all the six unknowns mr,c are non-negative with the exception of Your first task is to find the values of all the six unknowns. Think first, which of the mr,c you should find first. Next, consider a vector v = (-6, 0, 0, 8) T. What's the length of v, i.e., |v|? Using M as transformation matrix, map v onto w by w = Mv provide w with its numeric values. What's the length of w, especially when comparing it to the length of v? Finally, consider another vector p = ( 0, 0, 8, 6) T. What's the angle between v (from above) and p? Using M as transformation matrix, map p onto q by q = Mp - provide q with its numeric values. What's the angle between w and q, especially when comparing it to the angle between v and p?arrow_forward7. (a) (i) Express y=-x²-7x-15 in the form y = −(x+p)²+q. (ii) Hence, sketch the graph of y=-x²-7x-15. (b) (i) Express y = x² - 3x + 4 in the form y = (x − p)²+q. (ii) Hence, sketch the graph of y = x² - 3x + 4. 28 CHAPTER 1arrow_forward
