This is a question about vector addition. To find →PR, we need to add →PQ and →RQ, but in reverse order (→PR = →PQ + →RQ). Given →PQ = -2i + 5j and →RQ = -i - 7j, we can add them as follows: →PR = →PQ + →RQ →PR = (-2i + 5j) + (-i - 7j) →PR = -2i - i + 5j - 7j →PR = -3i - 2j Therefore, the answer is "-3i - 2j". Option (B) "-3i + 12j", (C) "-i + 12j", and (D) "i - 12j" are incorrect.

Which of the following is the semi-interquartile range of a distribution?

Detalhes da Resposta

The semi-interquartile range is a measure of variability in a dataset. To calculate it, we first need to find the median of the dataset, which is the middle value when the data is arranged in order from lowest to highest. Then, we need to find the quartiles, which are the values that divide the dataset into four equal parts. The semi-interquartile range is half of the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile. The upper quartile is the value that separates the highest 25% of the data from the lowest 75%, while the lower quartile is the value that separates the lowest 25% of the data from the highest 75%. Looking at the given options, the formula that corresponds to the semi-interquartile range is: 1/2 (Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile) Therefore, the correct answer is option d) "1/2 (Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile)".

The mean heights of three groups of students consisting of 20, 16 and 14 students each are 1.67m, 1.50m and 1.40m respectively. Find the mean height of all the students.

Detalhes da Resposta

To find the mean height of all the students, you need to add up the heights of all the students and divide by the total number of students. First, you need to find the total number of students, which is the sum of 20, 16 and 14 students, which is 50 students in total. Then, you need to find the total height of all the students by multiplying the number of students in each group by their respective mean height and adding them all up. Total height of all students = (20 x 1.67) + (16 x 1.50) + (14 x 1.40) = 33.4 + 24 + 19.6 = 77 meters Finally, to find the mean height of all the students, you need to divide the total height of all the students by the total number of students: Mean height of all students = Total height of all students / Total number of students = 77 / 50 = 1.54 meters Therefore, the answer is 1.54m.

The table shows the distribution of the distance (in km) covered by 40 hunters while hunting.

What is the mode of the distribution?
 

Detalhes da Resposta

To find the mode of the distribution, we need to identify the value with the highest frequency. In the table, the frequency is given for each distance (in km) covered by the hunters. Let's first find the frequency of distance 5 km covered by the hunters. From the table, we know that the sum of all frequencies should be equal to 40, the total number of hunters. Sum of frequencies = 5 + 4 + x + 9 + 2x + 1 = 40 Simplifying the equation, we get: 3x + 19 = 40 3x = 21 x = 7 Now we know that the frequency of distance 5 km is x = 7. The frequencies for the other distances are: - Frequency of distance 3 km = 5 - Frequency of distance 4 km = 4 - Frequency of distance 6 km = 9 - Frequency of distance 7 km = 2x = 14 - Frequency of distance 8 km = 1 The highest frequency is 14, which corresponds to the distance of 7 km. Therefore, the mode of the distribution is 7 km. Hence, the answer is option (C) 7.

A linear transformation T is defined by T: (x,y) → (3x - y, x + 4y). Find the image of (2, -1) under T.

Detalhes da Resposta

The linear transformation T is defined as T: (x, y) → (3x - y, x + 4y). To find the image of (2, -1) under T, we need to apply T to (2, -1) and see what we get. So, T(2, -1) = (3(2) - (-1), 2 + 4(-1)) = (7, -2) Therefore, the image of (2, -1) under T is (7, -2). Answer is correct.

The length of the line joining points (x,4) and (-x,3) is 7 units. Find the value of x.

Detalhes da Resposta

The problem provides us with two points, (x, 4) and (-x, 3), and tells us that the distance between them is 7 units. We need to find the value of x that satisfies this condition. To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula: d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points, and d is the distance between them. Using this formula, we can calculate the distance between the given points: d = sqrt((-x - x)^2 + (3 - 4)^2) d = sqrt(4x^2 + 1) We are given that this distance is equal to 7 units: sqrt(4x^2 + 1) = 7 To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, we will square both sides of the equation: 4x^2 + 1 = 49 Now we can solve for x: 4x^2 = 48 x^2 = 12 x = sqrt(12) = 2sqrt(3) Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the given conditions is 2sqrt(3), which is option D.
