Test Scores. The table below shows eighth-grade mathematics test scores in Nebraska and New Jersey. The scores are separated according to the race of the students. Also shown are the state averages for all races.
Source: Based on National Assessment of Educational Progress scores for 1992, from Chance, Spring 1999.
White | Non white | Average for all races | |
Nebraska | 281 | 250 | 277 |
New Jersey | 283 | 252 | 272 |
a. Which state had the higher scores in both racial categories? Which state had the higher overall average across both racial categories?
b. Explain how a state could score lower in both categories and still have a higher overall average.
c. The following table gives the actual percentages of whites and nonwhites in each state. Use these percentages to verify that the overall average test score in Nebraska is 277, as claimed in the first table.
White | Non white | |
Nebraska | 87% | 13% |
New Jersey | 66% | 34% |
d. Use the racial percentages to verify that the overall average test score in New Jersey is 272, as claimed in the first table.
e. Briefly explain why the results might seem surprising or paradoxical.

- What is a solution to a differential equation? We said that a differential equation is an equation that describes the derivative, or derivatives, of a function that is unknown to us. By a solution to a differential equation, we mean simply a function that satisfies this description. 2. Here is a differential equation which describes an unknown position function s(t): ds dt 318 4t+1, ds (a) To check that s(t) = 2t2 + t is a solution to this differential equation, calculate you really do get 4t +1. and check that dt' (b) Is s(t) = 2t2 +++ 4 also a solution to this differential equation? (c) Is s(t)=2t2 + 3t also a solution to this differential equation? ds 1 dt (d) To find all possible solutions, start with the differential equation = 4t + 1, then move dt to the right side of the equation by multiplying, and then integrate both sides. What do you get? (e) Does this differential equation have a unique solution, or an infinite family of solutions?arrow_forwardthese are solutions to a tutorial that was done and im a little lost. can someone please explain to me how these iterations function, for example i Do not know how each set of matrices produces a number if someine could explain how its done and provide steps it would be greatly appreciated thanks.arrow_forwardQ1) Classify the following statements as a true or false statements a.
