29. Family income in the middle class: Bauer et al. (2011) identified the median income of a middle-class family in their sample to be $84,200 annually; the mean family income was $85,300 annually. In their data, the lowest family income reported in this group was $65,100 annually, and the highest family income reported was $103,400 annually. Based on the data given, was the mean an appropriate value to summarize these data

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

No it is not

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is 84200

The mean is 85300

Low income is 65100

High income is 103400

From this information, we can see a skewed data. The mean would not be a good estimate value. Rather the center (median) would be more appropriate.

When we calculate the middle value for this data

65100+103400 = 168500/2 = 84250

84250 is closer to the median score of 84200. The median is best in the presence of outliers.

uppose that the walking step lengths of adult males are normally distributed with a mean of 2.8 feet and a standard deviation of 0.2 feet. A sample of 76 men’s step lengths is taken. Step 1 of 2 : Find the probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 2.5 feet. Round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

.0668

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

(2.5-2.8)/.2= -1.5

Go to a ztable and find the value for 1.5  (.9332) and take the compliment of this (we can do this because the normal distribution is symmetrical)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]AC = 87[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]AB = 3x + 4[/tex]

[tex]BC = 4x -1[/tex]

[tex]AC = 8x - 9[/tex]

Required

The value x

Since A, B and C are collinear, then;

[tex]AC = AB + BC[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]8x - 9 =3x+4+4x-1[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]8x - 3x - 4x = 9 + 4-1[/tex]

[tex]x = 12[/tex]

We have:

[tex]AC = 8x - 9[/tex]

[tex]AC = 8*12 - 9[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sorted data :

36.0, 37.0, 39.5, 40.0, 40.5, 43.0, 44.0, 45.5, 45.5, 46.5, 48.0, 48.00, 49.0, 50.0, 51.5, 52.5, 53.0, 53.5, 54.0, 57.3, 57.5, 58.0, 58.5, 59.0, 59.5, 60.0, 61.0, 61.0, 61.0, 61.5, 62.0, 62.5, 63.0, 63.0, 63.5, 64.0, 64.0, 64.0, 64.5, 65.0, 66.0, 67.5, 67.5, 68.5, 70.0, 70.5, 71.5, 72.0, 72.5, 72.5, 72.5, 73.5, 74.5, 77.5

The total size of the data = 54

The value 61.0 occurs in position ; 27th, 28th and 29th

Taking the position average :

(27+28+29)/3 = 84/3 = 28th position

This means the percentile score of 61 is :

(Position average / total size) * 100%

(28/54) * 100%

0.5185185 * 100%

= 51.85%

This means that 61 inch length falls in the 52nd percentile

Most of the live characters at an amusement park have height requirements with a minimum of 4 ft 9 in. and a maximum of 6 ft 4 in. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement The percentage of women who meet the height requirement is %. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)​

Answers

Answer:

98.93

Step-by-step explanation:

we're looking for

4 ft 9 <x<6 ft 4

Let's convert this into inches

4 ft 9 = 57 in

6 ft 4= 76

so we're looking for

57<x<76

which is equal to

p(76)-p(57)

let's start by p(76)

(76-62.3)/2.3= 5.946521 which on a ztable is equal to 1

p(57)=

(57-62.3)/2.3= -2.3

which is equal to 1-.9893= .0107

Finally,

1-.0107= .9893 = 98.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're told that Ty wants to isolate x in one of the equations. To do so in either, he will need to use inverse operations to cancel out values and leave just x remaining on one side of the equation.

In the second equation, he would need to subtract both sides by 6y and then divide both sides by 4 to isolate x. It's a two-step process.

However, in the first equation, he only needs to add 2y to both sides to isolate x.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

67th percentile = 46.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ordered data:

13, 13, 13, 20, 26, 29, 32, 33, 34, 34, 35, 35, 36, 37, 38, 41, 41, 41, 45, 46, 47, 47, 48, 52, 54, 55, 56, 62, 67, 82

The first quartile :

Q1 = 1/4(n+1)th term

n = sample size = 30

Q1 = 1/4(31) = 7.75 = (7th + 8th) / 2 = (32+33) / 2 = 32.5

Q3 = 3/4(n+1)th term

n = sample size = 30

Q3 = 3/4(31) = 23.25 = (23rd + 24th) / 2 = (48+52) / 2 = 50

D2 = 2nd decile

2 * 10% = 20%

20% * n

0.2 * 30 = 6th = 29

D8 = 8th decile

8 * 10% = 80%

80% * 30 = 24th = 52
