Add three data values to the following data set so the mean increases by 10 and the median does not change. {42, 37, 32, 29, 20}

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Sum of the numbers in the set: 42+37+32+29+20 =160

Current mean: 160/5 = 32

Median = the valvue of the middle = 32.

New mean: 32+10= 42.

Sum of numbers in the new set = 42*8 = 336

Difference: 336 - 160 = 176

I want to include 32, so that the new median stays in 32.

So the other two numbers must add 176 - 32 = 144

I will use a smaller number than 32 and the other greater (again in order to keep the same median.

I will choose 28 and 144 - 28 = 116.

So my three new numbers are 28, 32 and 116 and the new set is {116, 42, 37, 32, 32, 29,28, 20}

Checking:

Sum of the terms: 116+42+37+32+32+29+28+20 = 336

Mean = 336 / 8 = 42, which is 10 more than the original mean.

And the new median is (32+32)/2 = 32. The same of the original set.

What is the approximate volume of a cone with a height of 6 mm and radius of 18 mm? Use 3.14 to approximate pi, and express your final answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Given:
radius = 18mm
height = 6mm
pi = 3.14

volume of a cone is computed by multiplying pi, radius raised to the 2nd power, and height, which has been divided by 3.

v = πr²h/3

v = 3.14 * (18mm)² x 6mm/3
v = 3.14 * 324mm² x 2mm
v = 2034.72 mm³

volume rounded to the nearest tenth would be 2034.70 mm³

Answer

V = 2034.72 mm³
