Suppose that you are about to purchase a car and have narrowed your choices to two models --Model A and Model B. All things are about equal, such as price, options, even the average annual maintenance costs. You find an owner survey in an auto magazine that indicates that the standard deviation of maintenance costs is smaller for Model B. Based on this information, which of the following statements is most appropriate?
A. Model B with the smaller standard deviation is preferable, because the smaller value implies that the mean is a more reliable representation of maintenance costs.
B. Model A with the larger standard deviation is preferable. Cecause the larger value implies a smaller amount of variation in the data
C. Neither of the models are good since both standard deviations are not equal to 0. B 2
D. They are equally acceptable, because standard deviations are not useful for comparisons of data sets.
E. Cannot determine based on the information provided.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Model B with the smaller standard deviation is preferable, because the smaller value implies that the mean is a more reliable representation of maintenance costs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of the variability of a dataset about a mean value. Larger values of standard deviation implies that the values varies Hugely about the mean whole smaller variability measure values mean that the data only varies a little about the mean. The implication of having a large variability value is that, low and high values in the data can be very different from the mean values, hence, lowering the reliability of Mean value. The lesser varibality gives the mean more reliability as a measure of centre

Answers

Answer:

m<3=84

m<4=96

Step-by-step explanation:

180-43-41=96

180-96=84

The measure of ∠3 is 96° and measure of ∠4 is 64°.

What is Triangle?

A triangle is a three sided polygon , which has three vertices and three angles with sum 180 degree.

Given that;

In triangle,

Measure of first angle (m ∠1 ) = 43°

Measure of second angle (m ∠2) = 41°

Let measure of ∠4 = x degree

Now, Sum of all angles in a triangle be 180 degree.

So, We can formulate;

m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°

43° + 41° + x = 180°

84° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 84°

x = 96°

So, measure of ∠3 = 96°

Since, The measure of ∠3 and measure of ∠4 are supplementary angles.

Hence, We get;

m ∠3 + m ∠4 = 180°

96° + m ∠4 = 180°

m ∠4 = 180° - 96°

m ∠4 = 64°

Thus, The measure of ∠3 is 96° and measure of ∠4 is 64°.

PLS help asap bt 1230 pt help thank you will brainliest

Answers

Answer:

85

Step-by-step explanation:

So you train of though might lead you to soemthing like this: it must be 90 degrees, since that looks like a 90 degree triangle, and there are 180 degrees in a line. So 90 degrees and 90 degrees make up the 180.

That is exactly what I though.

But, its a bit different from that. We do not know for sure that its a 90 degree traingle. Depending on the angle of the traingle, the outcome of the mystery number is different.

So, to find the angle of the trainge, lets take our 155 degree line.

Now, this is just a simple line. We know the line is 180, and that the other number must add onto 155 to make 180:

180-155=missing angle

=

25. So we know that the smallest angle of the traingle is 25.

We also know that a traingle has a total of 180 degrees.

We can add the 60 degrees and our new 25 degrees, subtract if from 180, and we will get our last angle of the traingle we need to solve:

60+25

=

85

Now subtract it from 180:

180-85

=

95

So that last angle of the traingle is 95.

Now, we need to solve the missing angle of the line that will give us the answer.

Again, we know the line has to be 180, so lets subtract 95 from that:

180-95

=

85

So we know that the missing angle answer is 85!

I hope this isnt too confusing and helps! :)

how do i find parabola from a figure ( process )​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of a quadratic equation in two variables (y = ax^2 + bx + c ) is called a parabola. The following graphs are two typical parabolas their x-intercepts are marked by red dots, their y-intercepts are marked by a pink dot, and the vertex of each parabola is marked by a green dot: (Given in attachment for diagram)

We say that the first parabola opens upwards (is a U shape) and the second parabola opens downwards (is an upside down U shape). In order to graph a parabola we need to find its intercepts, vertex, and which way it opens.

 

 

Given y = ax^2 + bx + c , we have to go through the following steps to find the points and shape of any parabola:

Label a, b, and c.

Decide the direction of the paraola:

If a > 0 (positive) then the parabola opens upward.

If a < 0 (negative) then the parabola opens downward.

 

 

Find the x-intercepts:

Notice that the x-intercepts of any graph are points on the x-axis and therefore have y-coordinate 0. We can find these points by plugging 0 in for y and solving the resulting quadratic equation (0 = ax^2 + bx + c). If the equation factors we can find the points easily, but we may have to use the quadratic formula in some cases. If the solutions are imaginary, that means that the parabola has no x-intercepts (is strictly above or below the x-axis and never crosses it). If the solutions are real, but irrational (radicals) then we need to approximate their values and plot them.

Find the y-intercept:

The y-intercept of any graph is a point on the y-axis and therefore has x-coordinate 0. We can use this fact to find the y-intercepts by simply plugging 0 for x in the original equation and simplifying. Notice that if we plug in 0 for x we get: y = a(0)2 + b(0) + c or y = c. So the y-intercept of any parabola is always at (0,c).

 

 

Find the vertex (h,k):

To find the x-coordinate for the vertex we use the following formula:

To find the y-coordinate for the vertex we plug in h in the original equation:

k = a(h)2 + b(h) + c

Plot the points and graph the parabola

Whats the Diameter? I really need help understanding this

Answers

Answer:

1.8 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

1) Determine the radius of the base

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h[/tex] where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone

Plug in the known values (h=4.2, V=3.6)

[tex]3.6=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2(4.2)[/tex]

Isolate r; divide both sides by 4.2

[tex]\frac{3.6}{4.2} =\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2\\\frac{6}{7} =\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{6}{7}*3 =\pi r^2\\\frac{18}{7}=\pi r^2[/tex]

Divide both sides by π

[tex]\frac{18}{7\pi }=r^2[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{18}{7\pi }} =r[/tex]

2) Determine the diameter

Now that we have the radius, to find the diameter, multiply r by 2:

[tex]d=\sqrt{\frac{18}{7\pi }}*2\\d=1.8[/tex]

Therefore, the diameter is 1.8 in. when rounded to the nearest tenth.

I hope this helps!

Answer:
