The height ( in inches ) of the starting players on a high school basketball team are:72,75,78,72,73 how many starting players are there? What is the mean height? What is the median height? Does one measure describe the data better than the other?

Answers

Answer 1
Starting Players : 5 Starters

Mean : 370in ÷ 5 = 74in

Median of 72, 72, 73, 75, 78 : 73

Answer 2

There are 5 starting players whose mean height is and median height is

Both the measure describes better values.

What is mean?

A mean is the average of a data set, found by adding all numbers together and then dividing the sum of the numbers by the number of numbers.

Mathematically,

Mean = Sum of the observations/number of observations

Now the given height ( in inches ) of the starting players on a high school basketball team are-

72,75,78,72,73

So, number of the starting players = 5

Hence, There are 5 starting players on a high school basketball team.

Sum of the heights ( in inches ) of the starting players = 72+75+78+72+73

                                                                                         = 370

Therefore, mean is given as-

Mean = Sum of the heights/number of the starting players

⇒ Mean = 370/5

⇒ Mean = 74

So,The mean height is 74.

Now for median,

Putting the heights ( in inches ) of the starting players in order we get

72,72,73,75,78

So, there are 5 heights ( in inches ) of the starting players.

So, the middle number in the order is the median of given heights.

Middle height = 73

So, Median = 73

Therefore, the median of heights is 73.

Since, both the measures describes nearly equal values

Hence, both the measure describes better values.

Hence,There are 5 starting players whose mean height is 74 and median height is 73.

Both the measure describes better values.

They want the height of the box to be 10 inches and the width to be 4 inches.
Explain how to calculate the length the box needs to be in order for the volume of the box to be 200 cubic inches.

Answers

First, its important that we review what types of shapes we have. In the first two problems, we have a cylinder. In the last problem, we have a rectangle. The formulas for volume of a cylinder and a rectangle are: 

Cylinder
 
V = [tex] \pi r^2[/tex]


Rectangle

V = L x W x H

In the first problem, we have a cylinder and we are looking for the height. We know the volume (240), and we know the radius (4). We can use these values to fill in our formula, and then solve for the missing height. (This process is shown in the image). 

In the second problem, we have a cylinder and we are looking for the volume. We know the radius (4), and we know the height (12). We can use these values to fill in our formula, and then solve for the volume. (This process is shown in the image). 

In the third problem, we have a rectangle and we are looking for the length. We know the height (10), we know the width (4), and we know the volume (200). We can use these values to fill in our formula, and then solve for the length. (This process is shown in the image). 

Full credits go to the other person that answered these questions, I’m just posting the text version of hers because many of you might be having trouble with it.

So, here it is:

1. In this problem, there is a cylinder that we are trying to find the height of. We know the radius which is 4, and we know that the volume which is 240.

V = πr^2

Volume: πr^2h

240 = π4^2h

240/16 = 16π(h)/16

H = 15cm

2. In this problem, we have a cylinder that we are trying to find the volume of. We know the radius which is 4, and we know the height which is 12.

Volume = πr^2h

V = π4^2(12)

= 16 π(12)

V = 192 π^2

3. In this problem, we have a rectangle that we are looking for the length of. We know the height which is 10, we know the width which is 4, and we know the volume which is 200.

Volume = L*W*H

200 = L*4*10

200/40 = 40L/40

L = 5in

Can ratios have decimals in them or do all the numbers have to be integers? E.g. is 7.8:1.3:6.5 a valid ratio?

Answers

What you have is a valid ratio in theory, but it might be easier to understand if it were simplified to integers:

78:13:65

It also depends on what your teacher is asking of you.

Final answer:

Yes, ratios can include decimals. They can represent quantities in numerous contexts such as scale distances, dimensions, and proportions. The ratio 7.8:1.3:6.5 is, therefore, a valid expression.

Explanation:

Ratios can indeed include decimals in them; they do not need to be limited to integers. Ratios are a way to compare two or more quantities, which can be whole numbers, fractions, or decimals. Just as fractions, ratios express the relationship between parts of a whole or between two quantities in a specific order. For example, the ratio 7.8:1.3:6.5 is valid and represents the relative quantities of three different entities. In many contexts, such as in scale distances or dimensions, the use of decimal ratios is quite common. When dealing with scale factor to find actual dimensions, the ratio could also include decimals, as it compares the scale dimensions to actual dimensions of an object or distance. For example, on a map with a unit scale of 1 inch equals 100 feet, the ratio would be written as 1/100 or in decimal form, 0.01/1.

Write this number in standard form.

Answers

To find the answer for that question you have to find the area of rectangle first, so you say 60*80 which equals to 4800 cm squared and then find the area of the box and not its volume so you say: 2(16*10)=2*160=320 cm squared
                                                              4(16*27)=4*432=1728 cm squared 
add 320+1728= 2048 cm squared 
Finally, to find the area of the left poster board you have to subtract the area of the rectangle which is 4800 cm squared by the area of the box which is 2048 cm squared so 4800-2048=2752 cm squared

Serena is making a model of one of the Egyptian pyramids. The square base has sides that are all 4.4 in. Each of the triangular faces has a base of 4.4 in and a height of 3.8 in. How much paper would it take to cover the entire pyramid?





A.
73.57 sq in
B.
82.78 sq in
C.
52.8 sq in
D.
12.6 sq in


Answers

We can tell that we are solving for area because the question asked "how much paper to cover the entire pyramid". Notice that the image is the net of the pyramid, so we can find the area of the square (base), and then the area of the triangles (walls) and add them all together to find the total area. 

Area of a Square: Length x Width
 
A = 4.4 x 4.4
A = 19.36

Area of a Triangle: [tex] \frac{Base x Height}{2} [/tex]

A = 4.4 x 3.8 ÷ 2
A = 8.36

** We have 4 triangles, and 8.36 is the area for ONE triangle. We can multiply this by 4 to determine the area of all of the triangles together. 

8.36 x 4 = 33.44

Now that we have our area for the base of the pyramid and the walls of the pyramid, we can add them together to determine the total area, and how much paper Serena will need. 

19.36 + 33.44 = 52.8

So, Serena will need 52.8 [tex] in^{2} [/tex] of paper to cover the entire pyramid. 

What is the distance between the points (3, 12) and (14, 2)?

Answer:

√221 or 14.866

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is

[tex]d=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]

Using our coordinates, we have

[tex]d=\sqrt{(12-2)^2+(3-14)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{10^2+(-11)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{100+121}\\\\=\sqrt{221}\approx 14.866[/tex]

The distance between the points (3, 12) and (14, 2) is 14.86 units.

What is the distance between two points?

The distance between two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by,

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

For given example,

We need to find the distance between points (3, 12) and (14, 2)

Consider given points as,

[tex](x_1,y_1)=(3,12)\\\\(x_2,y_2)=(14,2)[/tex]

Using the distance formula, the distance between two points would be,

[tex]\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{(14-3)^2+(2-12)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{(11)^2+(-10)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{121+100}\\\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{221}\\\\\Rightarrow d=14.86~units[/tex]

Therefore, the distance between the points (3, 12) and (14, 2) is 14.86 units.

The graph of a function is a line that passes through the points (1,4), (3,8), and (6,y). What is the value of y?

Answers

Hello there!

There are multiple ways to do this but lets find the equation of the line that passes through those points using the first two points.

First let's find the slope of the line...
(1,4) and (3,8)
(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
8-4/3-1
4/2
2

The slope is 2. Now we need to plug in 2 and a point to point-slope form. Choose the point (1,4)
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
y-4=2(x-1)

Let's put this into slope intercept form...
y-4=2(x-1)
y-4=2x-2
y=2x+2

Now we can plug in (6,y) into the equation. Plug in 6 for x to find y...
y=2(6)+2
y=12+2
y=14

So we have (6,14) as our answer!

Explain how you can compare the size of a product to the size of a factor when multiplying fractions without actually doing multiplication including model

Answers

Answer: If you multiply a number by a fraction less than 1, the resulting product will be smaller than the original fraction.

Imagine, if you had half a pizza and you ate one-half of that. You would multiply 1/2 by 1/2 and get an even smaller number. The result would be 1/4.

On the other hand, if you multiply a number by a mixed number that is larger than one, the result would be larger than when you started.

The Comparison size of product and factors is shown below.

What are factors?

A factor is a number that completely divides another number. To put it another way, if adding two whole numbers results in a product, then the numbers we are adding are factors of the product because the product is divisible by them.

For example, 3 and 6 are factors of 12 because 12 ÷ 3 = 4 exactly and 12 ÷ 6 = 2 exactly.

A fraction less than one will result in a smaller product than the initial fraction when multiplied by a number.

Imagine that you only ate half of the pizza you ordered.

You would get a smaller value if you multiplied 1/2 by 1/2. It would come out to 1/4.

On the other hand, the outcome would be more than the starting value if you multiplied a number by a mixed number that is greater than one.

A bicyclist heads east at 10km/h. After she has traveled 24.2 kilometers, another cyclist sets out in the same direction going 30km/h. About how long will it take the second cyclist to catch up to the first cyclist?

Answers

We know that the first cyclist has traveled 24.2 km at a speed of 10 km/h. Lets use the equation [tex]time= \frac{distance}{speed} [/tex] to find the time of the first cyclist:
[tex]t= \frac{24.2}{10} [/tex]
[tex]t=2.42[/tex]
So, we know that she has traveled for 2.42 hours.
 
We also know that after she has traveled for 2.42 hours another cyclist sets out in the same direction, so if [tex]t[/tex] represents the time of our first cyclist, the time of our second cyclist will be [tex]t-2.42[/tex].

Now we are going to use the equation [tex]distance=(speed)(time)[/tex] to relate the speeds and times of the two cyclist:
For the first one:
[tex]distance=10t[/tex] equation (1)
For the second one:
[tex]distance=30(t-2.42)[/tex] equation (2)

Replace (1) in (2)
[tex]10t=30(t-2.42)[/tex]
The only thing left now is solve for [tex]t[/tex]:
[tex]10t=30t-72.6[/tex]
[tex]-20t=-72.6[/tex]
[tex]t= \frac{-72.6}{-20} [/tex]
[tex]t=3.63[/tex]

We can conclude that the second cyclist will catch up the first cyclist after 3.63 hours.

Answers

Hello!

The problem to solve: 4a - 4(15a - 2) - 8

The first thing to do is to apply the Distributive Property, which is: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Here we have: -4(15a - 2). We must multiply -4 by 15a and -2. Let's do it.

4a - 4(15a - 2) - 8
4a - 60a + 8 - 8

Now we can go ahead and combine like terms; add the constants and add the a-terms. 4a minus 60a is equal to negative 56a. 8 minus 8 is zero, so the 8's cancel out, and we're left with:

-56a

 Hey there!

In order to simplify this expression (notice how it's an expression and not an equation because it's not set equal to something) we can use addition and subtraction, and the distributive property which is defined as:

a(b+c) = ab + ac

Using this property, we can simplify this expression to:

4a - 60a + 8 - 8

Notice how -4(-2) was positive 8.

Simplify "a" terms:

-56a + 8 - 8

Since it's +8 - 8, the 8's cancel out.

Therefore, we just have -56a.
