Two high school basketball players each played 5 games. Their stats are summarized below:

Player A: Stats on 5 games → mean points scored = 25, standard deviation = 4
Player B: Scored 23, 27, 28, 22, 25 points on 5 consecutive games

Suppose a university basketball scout (a person who finds new players for a university's team) is deciding which player to recruit. Who should they choose? Justify your response. [3 marks]

HINT: Compare mean and variance of each player.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Player B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Player A has a mean score of 25.

Let's calculate Player B's mean score and compare it to Player A's.

23 + 27 + 28 + 22 + 25 / 5 = 125 / 5 = 25.

So, Player A and Player B have the same mean score.

This doesn't tell the scout which player is "better", so let's look at the variance.

The other statistic given for Player A is the standard deviation for their points. The given number is 4. Let’s calculate the standard deviation for Player B, and compare it to player A.

Recall that we add up the squares of the difference between each score and the mean, divide it by the total number of data, and square root that. So, the standard deviation for player B is sqrt(2^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 0^2 / 5) = sqrt (26/5) = sqrt (5.2) = 2.3.

Excellent. We have player A’s standard deviation, as well as player B’s standard of deviation. Since player B’s standard deviation is less than player A’s, it can be inferred that player B has more consistent results than player A, and the scout should get Player B.

Hope this helps!

I need help to find W =

Answers

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar the angles are the same

<A = <F

<B = <E

<C = <C

<D = <G

We know <G = 120 so angle D = 120

W = <D = 120

Answer:

w = 120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD and FECG are the same shapes, which means they also have the same angles.

∠A = ∠F

∠B = ∠E

∠C = ∠C

∠D = ∠G

∠G = 120°, so D = 120°

So, w = 120°

Function g is the result of these transformations on the parent sine function:
-vertical stretch by a factor of 3
-horizontal shift left pi/2
-units vertical shift down 4 units
Below is the question from the Edmentum test :)

Answers

Answer:

g(x) = 3·sin(x + π/2) - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given (general form of a) sin function is g(x) = A·sin(x + C) + D

Where;

A = The amplitude (the vertical stretch) = 3

C = The phase shift, left = π/2

D = The vertical shift = 4 units down = -4

Therefore, given that in the parent function, we have f(x) = sin(x), by substituting the values of A, C, and D to complete the equation modeling the function g, we get;

g(x) = 3·sin(x + π/2) - 4

Whose perfect square should be added to the sum of the greatest three digit prime number and the smallest two-digit prime number, so that the resultant number is perfect square of 32? ​pls give me ans pls pls pls

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y is the required number.

a/c to question,

y² + greatest three digit prime number + smallest two digit prime number = 32²

we know, greatest three digit prime number = 997

smallest two digit prime number = 11

now, y² + 997 + 11 = 32²

or, y² + 1008 = 1024

or, y² = 1024 - 1008

or, y² = 16

or, y = 4

hence, required number number is one digit even number e.g., y = 4

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9√(a^-5 b^2)

9 sqrt( a^ -5 b^2)

Rewriting sqrt as ^1/2

9 ( a^ -5 b^2)^1/2

9 ( a^ -5) ^1/2 ( b^2)^1/2

we know that  an exponent to an exponent means multiply

9 a^ (-5*1/2)  b^(2*1/2)

9 a^-5/2 b^1

9b a^ -5/2

find the interior angle sum for the following polygon.​

Answers

We know that the interior angle sum of a polygon is (n − 2) × 180°, where n is the number of sides.

Here, number of sides (n) = 12

So, interior angle sum = (n − 2) × 180°

=> interior angle sum = (12 - 2) × 180°

=> interior angle sum = 10 × 180°

=> interior angle sum = 1800°

So, the interior angle sum of this polygon is 1800°.

==============================================================

Explanation:

For any 45-45-90 triangle, the two legs are the same length. We consider triangles like this to be isosceles. So we have b = 18 as the vertical leg because the horizontal leg is also 18 units long.

The hypotenuse of these types of triangles is always [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] times longer compared to the leg length. So the hypotenuse is [tex]a = 18\sqrt{2}[/tex]

As an alternative, you can use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse.

Eliana claims she has discovered a method for determining the general form equation of a line
The line Ax + By + C = 0 will always be perpendicular to the line Bx - Ay + C = 0.
Is Eliana's method reasonable? Explain why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a line is given by:

Ax + By + C = 0

The slope intercept form of a line is give by:

y = mx + b;

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Given a line with equation Ax + By + C = 0; the slope of the line can be gotten by representing in slope intercept form, hence it becomes:

By = -Ax - C

y = (-A/B)x - C/B

The slope is -A/B

For a line with equation Bx - Ay + C = 0:

Ay = Bx + C

y = (B/A)x + C/A

the slope is B/A

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of the slopes is -1. Hence:

-A/B * B/A = -1; hence the two lines are perpendicular

Answers

Answer:

1. Mean, because there are no outliers that affect the center

Step-by-step explanation:

Second period: 3,2,3,1,3, 4, 2, 4, 3, 1, 0, 2, 3, 1, 2

Sorted values : 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4

The mean = ΣX / n

n = sample size, n = 15

Mean = 34 / 15 = 2.666

The median = 1/2(n+1)th term.

1/2(16)th term = 8th term.

The 8th term = 2

The best measure of centre is the mean because the values for the second period has no outliers that might have affected the centre of the distribution.

Both interquartile range and standard deviation are measures of spread and not measures of centre.
