collect data (in decibels) of 10 different things in term of loudness. Arrange the data in ascending order & find mean, median & mode for the same.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Whisper-20dB
Quiet Residence-30dB
Soft stereo in Residence-40dB
Average Speech-60dB
Cafeteria-80dB
Pneumatic Jackhammer-90dB
Loud crowd noise-100dB
Accelerating Bike-100dB
Rock concert-120dB
Jet Engine (75 ft away)-140dB

(1)Mode=100dB (since 100 is occurring the maximum no. of times, i.e. it has the highest frequency of 2)
(2)Mean=sum of observations/Total number of observations
=(20+30+40+60+80+90+100+100+120+140)/10
=770/10=10dB
(3)Median= 1/2[{n/2}th observation + {(n/2)+1}th observation], where, n=total no. of observations
So, 1/2[{10/2}th observation + {(10/2)+1}th observation]
=1/2[5th observation+6th observation]
=1/2[80+90] [Because:5th observation=80dB and 6th=90dB]
=1/2(170)
=85
Therefore, median=85dB

If a slope of a line is 2/0 is it 0 or undefined?

Answers

It's undefined. When you have a slope as a fraction, it's "rise over run". The line rises two but runs zero, so it's a vertical line. If it were 0/2, that would be a horizontal line, aka 0 slope

Answer: Undefined

It is impossible to divide by zero, so it is undefined.

Suppose the circumference of a circle is 8π. What is its area?

Answers

Circumference = (π) x (diameter)
Circumference = 8π
(π) x (diameter) = 8π
Diameter = 8
Radius = 4

Area = π x (Radius)²
Area = π x (4)²
Area = π x (16) = 50.27 units² (rounded)

Well, its diameter would be 8, making its radius 4. The formula for finding the area of a circle is π x radius^2. So, the area would be ^2.
