(b) What proportion of the population that has an absenteeism greater than 4 days?​

A School Is Tracking Its Freshmen Attendance For The First Marking Period. Shown Below Is A Table Summarizing

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The median number of days absent is zero (0)

The mean number of days absent is 1.0 day

(b) The proportion of the population that has absenteeism greater than 4 days is 6.34 %

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of students, n = 284

The total number of students is even, the median number of days absent will in (n/2).

n/2 = 284/2 = 142

The cumulative frequency that falls in 148 students = 0 day

The median number of days absent is zero (0)

For mean:

Let the days absent = x  

let the number of students = f

[tex]mean (\bar x) = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}\\\\\bar x = \frac{(158\times 0)+ (64\times 1)+(18\times 2)+(22\times 3)+(4\times 4)+(5\times 7)+(6\times 8)+(9\times 2)+(13\times 1)}{284} \\\\\bar x = \frac{296}{284} \\\\\bar x = 1.0 \ day[/tex]

(b) the number of students with absenteeism greater than 4 dyas;

= 7 + 8 + 2 + 1

= 18

The proportion of these students;

[tex]= \frac{18}{284} \\\\= 0.0634 \\\\= 6.34 \ \%[/tex]

Answer 2

Using statistical concepts, it is found that:

a) The mean number of days absent is of 1, while the median is of 0.b) 0.0634 = 6.34% of the population has an absenteeism greater than 4 days.

Mean and Median:The mean is given the sum of the multiplication of each value and it's number of observations, divided by the number of observations.The median is the number of days absent for which the sum of the number of students will be half of the total number, that is, half of 284, which is 142.

Question a:

Then, the mean is:

[tex]M = \frac{0(158) + 1(64) + 2(18) + 3(22) + 4(4) + 5(7) + 6(8) + 9(2) + 13(1)}{284} = 1[/tex]

158 > 142, hence, the median is 0.

Question b:

In the sample, there are 284 students.Of those, 7 + 8 + 2 + 1 = 18 were absent four more than 4 days, hence:

[tex]p = \frac{18}{284} = 0.0634[/tex]

0.0634 = 6.34% of the population has an absenteeism greater than 4 days.

Last Monday local mall carriers delivered 1,344 pieces of mail. Of all the deliveries they made, 1/6 were magazines, 1/12 were packages, and the rest were letters. How many letters did the mail carriers deliver on Monday?

Answers

Answer:

1008 letters were delivered on Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

Total mail received = 1344

1/6 were magazines

1/12 were packages

the rest were letters

We have to find the exact number of magazines and packages received

Magazines = 1/6 of the total mail

Magazines = 1/6 × 1344

= 224 magazines

Packages = 1/12 of the total mail

Packages = 1/12 × 1344

= 112 packages

So now that we know the exact number of packages and magazines

We add those two numbers and subtract the result from the total mail

And the remainder is the letters delivered

Magazines = 224

Packages = 112

Magazines + Packages

224+112 = 336

Therefore, the letters received = 1344 - 336

= 1008

Which means that 1008 letters were delivered

Phineas puts $600 into a certificate of deposit that earns 3.09%. If the money is
compounded monthly, how much will it be worth in 4 years?

Answers

Answer:

$678.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Principal, P = $600

Rate = 3.09% = 0.0309

Period, t = 4 years

Compounding times per period, n = 12 (monthly)

The compound interest formula :

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = 600(1 + 0.0309/12)^(12*4)

A = 600(1 + 0.002575)^48

A = 600(1.002575)^48

A = 600 * 1.1313834

A = 678.83004

Worth in 4 years = $678.83

what is the solution to the equation 9x+27=9( x+2) +9

Answers

Let's solve the equation:

9x + 27 =  9 ( x + 2 ) + 9 ← Distribute 9 to the x and 2

9x + 27 = 9x + 18 + 9 ← Combine like terms

9x + 27 = 9x + 27 ← Subtract 27 from both sides

9x = 9x

0 = 0  

{Infinitely many solutions would be correct because no matter what x is, it will always equal each other the both sides of the equation because it is 9 times x on both sides.}

hope this helps..........

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

In January 2013, a country's first-class mail rates increased to 52 cents for the first ounce, and 23 cents for each additional ounce. If Sabrina spent
$1742 for a total of 48 stamps of these two denominations, how many stamps of each denomination did she buy?
She bought
of the 52 cent stamps and
of the 23 cent stamps.

Answers

Answer:

She bought

22 of the 52 cent stamps and

26 of the 23 cent stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total stamp increase = 48

Let number of 52 cent stamp = x

Number of 23 cent stamp = 48 - x

The cost equation :

0.52*x + 0.23*(48-x) = 17.42

0.52x + 11.04 - 0.23x = 17.42

0.52x - 0.23x = 17.42 - 11.04

0.29x = 6.38

x = 6.38 / 0.29

x = 22

Hence,

She bought 22 ; 52-cent stamps

And (48 - 22) = 26, 23-cent stamps

How can you use problem-solving strategies in solving personal, professional, and mathematical problems? Explain in 5-7 sentences and I WILL MARK YOU THE BRAINLIEST!!!

Answers

Answer:

Problem-solving is one of those skills that is in high demand. Many employers rate it as one of the most important traits they look for in prospective employees. It is also usually listed as an important learning outcome in many of the classes you in take in college including math classes, psychology classes, and even this class! But, it is often not taught at all or very well.

One reason why this is the case is because of a confusion relating to what kinds of problems are being solved. It is often assumed that by practicing any kind of problems for which you don't have an answer you will learn the skills appropriate to solve any problem. But, this is simply not true. Since there are different types of problems learning how to solve one type won't necessarily help you build the skills you need to solve the other type. So, let's begin by distinguishing two types of problems: puzzles and mysteries.

In his book Curious: The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on It, Ian Leslie defines these two types of problems very well: puzzles and mysteries.

"Puzzles have definite answers. Puzzles are orderly; they have a beginning and an end. Once the missing information is found, it's not a puzzle anymore." Most of the problems you encounter in your college math courses are in reality puzzles. They have definite answers and are orderly. Also, the information you need to solve them is right there in the question! And, if you need extra help you can just turn back to the chapter in the text which discusses how to solve these particular type of problems.

I know what you're thinking. Sure, these are real world problems and I've even faced some of them but how can I build the skills I need to solve these problems before taking these problems on? It does no good to practice on these very difficult problems.  

2. Learn as much as you can about as many topics as you can. Solving mysteries often involves drawing on knowledge from a variety of sources. It is quite likely that many of the things you're now learning (even those you think are irrelevant) may turn out to be helpful at some point in solving a problem. So, take advantage of the opportunity to really learn about psychology, biology, history, mathematics, and all the other subjects you're learning now. That time will pay off.

3. Make connections. A lot of problems are solved by finding interesting, creative connections between seemingly unrelated topics. A good example here is Steve Jobs' application of his knowledge of calligraphy to the Apple operating system. Another is the psychiatrist Jeffrey Schwartz's development of a treatment for OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) by combining Buddhism and Austrian economics.

4. Read books about mysteries, problem solving, and even mystery novels. Sherlock Holmes is a great place to start. Reading the Conan Doyle's stories of the great detective reveal some basic principles of problem solving which can apply to everyday life. Daniel Smith's book How to Think Like Sherlock is another good resource.

5. Solve simpler mysteries first. Rather than taking on the more complex type of real world problems mentioned above, begin with simpler, but still real, problems. Never mind solving your work-life balance problem right off. Start with solving this problem: How can I keep from losing my phone every time I get ready to go somewhere?

6. Adopt a problem-solving mindset. Be observant of your surroundings and attuned to what you can do to improve how you live, work, or do simple things. Thomas Edison exemplifies this mindset very well. He often presented his lab assistants with the following challenge. He would hand them some ordinary item (like an iron or a fountain pen) and say "There's a better way. Find it." Adopt that mentality in your life. Whatever you're doing ask whether there is a better way: easier, more efficient, more effective.

7. Learn about design thinking. Lastly, you may want to learn about design thinking. I've made a few resources available that provide a brief introduction to the basic ideas of design. The important feature is to solve problems with the end user in mind. When you're trying to solve a problem be sure you understand for whom you are solving it and what their needs are. That will allow you to focus on the best solutions given what they're facing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this answer helps you :)

Problem solving strategies are required in solving the problems that we face everyday. To solve a particular problem, we've to understand the problem, devise a plan that will be used in carrying out the problem and then implement the solution.

Problem solving strategies refer to the methods that are used by an individual in the solving of problems. An individual can be faced with challenges at their place of work or at home. In order to solve such problems, it's necessary to have a problem solving strategy in place.

Firstly, one needs to under the problem. Then, one has to find potential solutions to the problem and the best solution out of the alternatives would be chosen. The chosen solution would then be implemented.

A farmer wants to fence a rectangular area adjacent to a straight river with an extra partition running perpendicular to the river. If he has 3000 yards of fencing and no fencing is needed alone the river, then what is the maximum area he can enclose

Answers

Answer:

the maximum area enclosed = 1125000sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each side perpendicular to the river be "x".

Then the side parallel to the river is "3000-2x".

Now, area of the rectangle

A(x) = (3000-2x)x

A(x) = -2x^2+3000x

Which is a quadratic equation with a = -2 and b = 3000

Maximum area occurs where x = -b/2a

x = -3000/(-2×2) = 750 ft.

Therefore, width of rectangle x = 750 ft

Now, length = 3000-2(750) = 1500 ft.

Therefore, the maximum area enclosed = 1500×750 =  1125000 sq. ft.
