1. The values, x in a sample of 15 are summarized as follows
Σ(x-c) = 72,Σ(x-c)2 = 499.6
where c is a constant. Given that the sample mean is 104.8.
(a) Find the value of constant c.
(b) Find the variance of x.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 100

(b) 10.27

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given  

No of elements = 15  

Σ(x-c) = 72,Σ(x-c)^2 = 499.6

,where c is a constant

and the sample mean is 104.8.

(a)  lets take into account Σ(x-c) = 72

this means that we have the sum of the 15 elements of x and each element of x is subtracted by the constant c

so the equation becomes Σxi -15c = 72, ............(1)

where xi means the sum of the elements of x from 1 to 15.

we are given the mean as 104.8

this means that Σxi/15 = 104.8

Σxi = 15*104.8 = 1572 .............(2)

substituting (2) in (1)

we get  

1572 - 15c = 72  

15c = 1500  

c = 100

(b) We will use the property that variance does not change when a constant value is added or subtracted to the elements. This we can observe in the given equation that c is a constant that has the value of 100.

so the variance is  

σ^2 = Σ(x-c)^2/15  - (Σ(x-c)/15 )^2

      = 499.6/15  - (72/15)^2

      = 33.31 - 23.04

   σ^2   = 10.27

Therefore the variance of the given problem is 10.27.

The cone and cylinder above have the same radius, r, and height, h. The volume of the cone is 69 cubic centimeters. What is the volume of the cylinder?

A. 138 cubic centimeters
B. 207 cubic centimeters
C. 23 cubic centimeters
D. 276 cubic centimeters

Answers

Answer:

207 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

volume of cone  = 9 cubic centimeters

Since the cone and cylinder above have the same radius, r, and height, h, then r = h

volume of the cone = 1/3πr²h

69 =  1/3πr²h

πr²h = 69*3

πr²h = 207cubic cm

Since the volume of the cylinder =  πr²h

Hence volume of the cylinder is 207 cubic centimeters

1 km = 1000 m

1 = (1 km)/(1000 m)

4 m * (1 km)/(1000 m) = 4/1000 km = 0.004 km

1 m = 100 cm

1 = (100 cm)/(1 m)

4 m * (100 cm)/(1 m) = 400 cm

1 m = 1000 mm

1 = (1000 mm)/(1 m)

$1,462.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the total amount after 4 years

Principal => $1,250

Rate => 4.25%

The formula to find the total amount =

A = P(1 + rt)

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 4.25%/100 = 0.0425 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 1250(1 + (0.0425 × 4)) = 1462.5

A = $1,462.50

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $1,250.00 at a rate of 4.25% per year for 4 years is $1,462.50.
