Radon is a naturally occurring gas and is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in the soil and enters buildings through cracks and other holes in the foundations. Found throughout the United States, levels vary considerably from state to state. Several methods can reduce the levels of radon in your home, and the Environmental Protection Agency ecommends using one of these if the measured level in your home is above 4 picocuries per liter. Four readings from Franklin County, Ohio, where the county average is 9.32 picocuries per liter, were 5.2, 13.8, 8.6, and 16.8.

Required:
a. Find the mean step-by-step.
b. Find the standard deviation step-by-step.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) mean =  11.1

b) Standard Deviation = 5.191

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

x = 5.2, 13.8, 8.6, and 16.8

sample n = 4

so;

            x            ( x - mean)²

          5.2             34.81

          13.8            7.29

          8.6             6.25

          16.8            32.49

∑        44.4            80.84

a) Mean

Mean = total sum of the sample divided by the sample size

mean = ∑x / n

we substitute

mean = 44.4 / 4

mean =  11.1

b)

Standard Deviation is the Square root of variance;

Variance = ∑(x-mean)² / n - 1

we substitute from the above table

Variance =  80.81 / 4 - 1

Variance =  80.81 / 3

Variance =  26.94667

now since Standard Deviation is the Square root of variance;

Standard Deviation = √Variance

Standard Deviation = √26.94667

Standard Deviation = 5.191

Step-by-step explanation:

You can double check by doing (2.15 x 4) + 3.12 = 11.72

Step-by-step explanation:

An office supply store recently sold a black printer ink cartridge for ​$14.99 and a color printer ink cartridge for ​$23.99. At the start of a recent fall​ semester, a total of 64 of these cartridges was sold for a total of ​$1157.36. How many of each type were​ purchased?

Answers

Let B be the number of Black printer ink cartridges and C be the number of color printer ink cartridges.

49 were sold in total, hence,

B+C= 49 ------------(1)

Also, its given that

18.99 B + 27.99 C = 1146.51---------(2)
Multiplying (1) by 18.99,

18.99 B+ 18.99 C= 930.51 ------(3)

Now, subtracting (3) from (2),

18.99 B + 27.99 C = 1146.51
18.99 B+ 18.99 C= 930.51
------------------------------------
9 C = 216
C= 24

We know, B+ C= 49
Hence B = 49-24 = 25

Hence, number of Black printer ink cartridges = 25 and color printer ink cartridges = 24.

Both x and y because it’s a 45-45-90 triangle

Answer:

x = 6√(2)x = 6√(2)y = 6√(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides equal opposite to equal angles are always equal -----------<1>If one angle of triangle is 90°, then it is a right triangle, can find sides with the help of Pythagoras Theorem. -----------<2>The sum of all three sides of any triangle is 180°. -----------<3>

Given angles of triangle = 45° + 45° + 90° {from <3>}

x = y {because of <1>}

→ H² = P² + B² (Pythagoras Theorem) {from <2>}

→ (12)² = x² + y²

→ 144 = x² + x² [x = y]

→ 144 = 2x²

→ 144/2 = x²

→ 72 = x²

→ √(72) = x

→ 6√2 = x

→ x = y

so,

x = 6√2 = y

x = 6(2)y = 6(2)

how do I find "Z"? of possible can you do a step by step?​

Answers

Answer:

z = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Polygon ABCD and polygon EFGH are similar, therefore, their sides would be proportional to each other. This means the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal to each other.

BC corresponds to FG

CD corresponds to GH

Therefore:

8/6 = 10/z

4/3 = 10/z

Cross multiply

4*z = 10*3

4z = 30

4z/4 = 30/4

z = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is happening in this scenario because the individuals being surveyed have gone through the trauma of a car accident and survived it. To them they are stating that seat belts would not have helped since they do not want to believe that they could have done something to prevent their injuries. This causes them to say nothing or provide false information which ultimately ruins the results of the study.

The correlation Coefficient, R shows the degree or level of relationship between the dependent and independent variable. A positive R value denotes a positive correlation while a negative R value denotes a negative relationship. R values should range between - 1 to +1 with values close to 1 and - 1 depicting strength while value of zero means no relationship exist.

Hence, R value of -0.90 depicts a strong negative relationship. Hence, higher speed are related to lower miles per gallon and vice versa.
