Answer:

the answer would be d

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dataset

[tex]x = \{21,\ 31,\ 26,\ 24,\ 28,\ 26\}[/tex]

We start by computing the average:

[tex]\overline{x} = \dfrac{21+31+26+24+28+26}{6}=\dfrac{156}{6}=26[/tex]

We compute the difference bewteen each element and the average:

[tex]x-\overline{x} = \{-6,\ 5,\ 0,\ -2,\ 2,\ 0\}[/tex]

We square those differences:

[tex](x-\overline{x})^2 = \{36,\ 25,\ 0,\ 4,\ 4,\ 0\}[/tex]

And take the average of those squared differences: we sum them

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n (x-\overline{x})^2=36+25+4+4+0+0=69[/tex]

And we divide by the number of elements:

[tex]\displaystyle \sigma^2=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x-\overline{x})^2}{n} = \dfrac{69}{6} = 11.5[/tex]

Finally, we take the square root of this quantity and we have the standard deviation:

[tex]\displaystyle\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x-\overline{x})^2}{n}} = \sqrt{11.5}\approx 3.39[/tex]

To find the standard deviation of the set 21, 31, 26, 24, 28, 26, first calculate the mean, then the squared deviations from the mean, followed by the variance, and finally take the square root of the variance. The standard deviation is approximately 2.52.

The question asks how to find the standard deviation of the numbers 21, 31, 26, 24, 28, 26. To calculate the standard deviation, follow these steps:

Let's calculate it together:

Therefore, the standard deviation of the data set is approximately 2.52.

Answer:

[tex]5 = log_{4}x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that [tex]45=4^{5}[/tex]

Then:  [tex]4^{5}=x[/tex]

Taking log with base 4 in both sides, we have:

[tex]log_{4} 4^{5}=log_{4}x[/tex]

Applying the logarithmic rules, we have:

[tex]log_{4}4^{5}=log_{4}x[/tex]  →   [tex]5log_{4}4=log_{4}x[/tex]

→ [tex]5 = log_{4}x[/tex]

In conclusion, 45 = x expressed as a logarithmic equation equals: [tex]5 = log_{4}x[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]4^5=x[/tex] as a logarithmic equation [tex]\log_4 (x)=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression [tex]4^5=x[/tex]

To find : Express the expression as a logarithmic equation?

Solution :

Expression [tex]4^5=x[/tex]

Taking log with base 4 both side,

[tex]\log_4(4^5)=\log_4 (x)[/tex]

Using logarithmic property, [tex]\log_a a^b=b[/tex]

[tex]5=\log_4 (x)[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]4^5=x[/tex] as a logarithmic equation [tex]\log_4 (x)=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When the object hits the ground, h = 0.

0 = -21.962x + 114.655

x = 5.2

From the table, the object landed at x = 4.6 seconds.  So the line of best fit predicts a time 0.6 seconds greater than actual.

The original height is when x = 0.

h = -21.962(0) + 114.655

h = 114.7

So the line of best fit predicts the object was dropped from a height of 114.7 meters.  This is higher than the actual 100 meters.

At x = 3.5:

h = -21.962(3.5) + 114.655

h = 37.8

So the line of best fit estimates the object reached a height of 37.8 meters after 3.5 seconds.

We know that at x = 0, h = 114.7.  This is more than 4 meters from the actual initial height of 100 m.

Therefore, the answer must be A.

Answer:

A. According to the line of best fit, the object would have hit the ground 0.6 seconds later than the actual time the object hit the ground.

Answer:

If Julian bought 1 notebook, he would only have enough money for 2 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Pen = $4.50

Notebook = $3.50

2 pens = $9.

9 + 3.50 = 12.50.

15 - 12.50 = 2.50.

$2.50 is not enough money for another notebook or pen.

Answer:

2 notebooks.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate this you just have to create an equation to solve this problem, it says that Julian has $15 in total, and he has to buy at least one notebook, so you´d have to withdraw the money of a notebook from the total, and the pens cost 4.50 each, we will be expressing the number of pens by "X" and the number of notebooks by "y" so your equation would be like this:

[tex]4.5x+3.5y=15[/tex]

The number of notebooks is one, so you can put it into the equation:

[tex]4.5x+3.5y=15[/tex]

[tex]4.5x+3.5(1)=15[/tex]

Now you clear "x"

[tex]4.5x=15-3.5[/tex]

[tex]4.5x=11.5[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{11.5}{4.5}[/tex]

[tex]x=2.55[/tex]

Since he can not buy .55 of a pen, he will only be able to buy 2 pens.

Answer:

The model represents the expression:

A. 7/8 ÷ 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, the number line model represents 7/8 divided into 7 equal units. Each arrow represents a unit and there are a total of seven arrows.

The size of each unit is 1/8 as shown.

Showing that 1/8 divides 7/8 into 7 divisions:

7/8 ÷ 1/8

= 7/8 x 8/1

= 7/1 x 8/8

= 7 x 1

= 7

Hence, the number line represents seven divisions given by 7/8 ÷ 1/8.

Answer: Blueberry = $6, Pumpkin = $17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B represent blueberry pie and P represent pumpkin pie.

      Kim: 12B + 8P = 208

- Krystal: 10B + 8P = 196

                2B         =   12

                  B         =    6

Input B = 6 into either of the equations to solve for P

10B + 8P = 196

10(6) + 8P = 196

 60  + 8P = 196

           8P = 136

Answer:

≈ 36.81 cm ( to 2 dec. places )

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter (P) of the sector is calculated as

P = circumference of circle × fraction of circle + radii

  = 2π × 15 × [tex]\frac{26}{360}[/tex] + 30

  = 30π × [tex]\frac{26}{360}[/tex] + 30

  = [tex]\frac{26\pi }{12}[/tex] + 30 ≈ 36.81 cm

Answer:

36.81 cm to the nearest hundredth  (or  30 + 13 π / 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the circle of which this sector is a part = 2 π 15

= 30 π  cms

So the length of the curved part of the sector = 26 * 30 π  / 360

= 2.167π

The perimeter =  2(15) + 2.167 π

= 36.81 cm.

Answer:

the values of x, y and z are x= 2, y =-1 and z=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the following system of equations.

We will use elimination method to solve these equations and find the values of x, y and z.

2x + 2y + 5z = 7     eq(1)

6x + 8y + 5z = 9     eq(2)

2x + 3y + 5z = 6     eq(3)

Subtracting eq(1) and eq(3)

2x + 2y + 5z = 7

2x + 3y + 5z = 6

-    -       -        -

_____________

0 -y + 0 = 1

-y = 1

=> y = -1

Subtracting eq(2) and eq(3)

6x + 8y + 5z = 9    

2x + 3y + 5z = 6    

-     -      -          -

______________

4x + 5y +0z = 3    

4x + 5y = 3      eq(4)

Putting value of y = -1 in equation 4

4x + 5y = 3

4x + 5(-1) = 3

4x -5 = 3

4x = 3+5

4x = 8

x= 8/4

x = 2

Putting value of x=2 and y=-1 in eq(1)

2x + 2y + 5z = 7

2(2) + 2(-1) + 5z = 7

4 -2 + 5z = 7

2 + 5z = 7

5z = 7 -2

5z = 5

z = 5/5

z = 1

So, the values of x, y and z are x= 2, y =-1 and z=1

Answer:

Micheal is 8, and Tom is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can set each of their ages as a variable. Let's say Michael's age is x.

We know Tom is 4 years older than Michael, so Tom's age is x+4.

We also know that their combined age is 20, so if we add both of their ages, we should get 20.

Solving;

[tex]x + (x+4) = 20\\2x+4 = 20\\2x=16\\x=8.[/tex]

So Michael's age is 8, and Tom is 12.

Answer:

x < -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 3 = 2

-2x < 2

x < -1

Answer:

Answer is x > -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Because -2x + 3 < 5

                       -3   -3 minus 3 on both sides

Then:        -2x  <  5

                  -2      -2 divide negative 2 on both sides

And get  x > -1, Because if you divide by negative numbers the sign always flips.

Answer:

f(x) = - (x - 3) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the graph

- The graph is a parabola, which is the graph of the quadratic function

- The general form of the quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c

- a is the coefficient of x², if a > 0 the parabola is oped upward, if a < 0

 the parabola is opened down ward

- c is the y-intercept of the parabola means the curve intersect the

  y-axis at point (0 , c)

- The roots (zeroes) of the quadratic function are the x-intercept of the

  parabola means values of x when f(x) = 0

* Now lets solve the problem

- The parabola is downward

∴ The coefficient of x² is negative

- The y-intercept is 12

∴ c = 12

- The x-intercepts are 3 , -4

∴ The zeroes of the function are 3 , -4

∴ x = 3 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ x - 3 = 0

∴ x = -4 ⇒ add 4 for both sides

∴ x + 4 = 0

- The factors of f(x) are (x - 3) and (x + 4)

∴ f(x) = -(x - 3)(x + 4)

- Lets find the general form of the function to be sure from the answer

- Multiply the two brackets

∵ f(x) = - [(x)(x) + (x)(4) + (-3)(x) + (-3)(4)] = - [x² + 4x + -3x + -12]

∴ f(x) = - [x² + x - 12] ⇒ multiply the bract by the (-)

∴ f(x) = -x² - x + 12

- Lets check the value of the y-intercept

∵ a = -1 , c = 12

∴ The coefficient of x² is -ve ⇒ the parabola is downward

∴ The y-intercept is 12

∴ f(x) = - (x - 3) (x + 4) is the answer

Answer:

C 340 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide it into smallest pieces.

I see two rectangles that I'm going to do.

The long rectangle reading the paper from bottom to top is a 4 by (4+11+4) rectangle.

The wide rectangle reading the paper from left to right is a 24 by 11 rectangle.

We need to find the area of both of these rectangles and then just add them together to get the total area.

So first rectangle has area 4(19)=76 and the second rectangle has area 264.  The sum of these two numbers are 340 square units.

Hello There!

The answer would be 340 square units

First, let's find the area of our small rectangle located to the left. The formula for a rectangle is width*height so we would multiply19 because we know that on our right rectangle the height is 11 and we would add 4 to that and add another 4 to that to get our length of our rectangle on the left.

Next, we multiply 24 by 11 because we are using our same formula for the rectangle on the right and once we multiply, we get a product of 264.

Finally, we add 264 and our area of the rectangle on the right together and get a sum of 340 square units.

Answer:

a(-1)^(n-1).

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Geometric Sequence with common ratio r = -1.

The general term is a(-1)^(n-1).

The general term for the sequence a, -a, a, -a, ... is given by the mathematical formula (-1)^(n+1) * a, where n is the term's position in the sequence, starting at n=1 for the first term.

The general term for the sequence a, -a, a, -a, ... can be described using a formula that alternates between a and -a as the sequence progresses. This pattern is a common example of a simple mathematical sequence where the terms alternate in sign.

To express this sequence as a general term, we can use the concept of the n-th term in a sequence. If we let n represent the position of the term in the sequence (starting with n=1 for the first term), we could describe the n-th term using the formula (-1)^(n+1) * a. This formula takes advantage of the fact that raising -1 to an even power results in 1, and raising it to an odd power results in -1, thus alternating the sign of a as n increases.

For example, if n=1, the formula gives (-1)^(1+1) * a = 1 * a = a. If n=2, the formula gives (-1)^(2+1) * a = -1 * a = -a, and so on.
