The propagation of fatigue cracks in various aircraft parts has been the subject of extensive study in recent years. The accompanying data consists of propagation lives (flight hours/104) to reach a given crack size in fastener holes intended for use in military aircraft (A1Statistical Crack Propagation in Fastener Holes Under Spectrum Loading, A1 J. Aircraft, 1983: 1028A11032): .736 .863 .865 .913 .915 .937 .983 1.007 1.011 1.064 1.109 1.132 1.140 1.153 1.253 1.394
Compute and compare the values of the sample mean and median.
By how much could the largest sample observation be decreased without affecting the value of the median?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Data:

.736, .863,  .865,  .913

.915, .937, .983,  1.007

1.011, 1.064, 1.109, 1.132

1.140, 1.153, 1.253, 1.394

Solving (a): Mean and Median

Mean

Mean is calculated as thus;

Mean = Summation of observation divided by number of observations

Approximated

Median

Since the number of observation is 16;

Median = 8.5th item

This can be determined by calculating the average of the 8th and 9th item

Solving b:

For the median to remain 1.009, the largest sample (1.394) must be greater than or equal to 1.253

Calculating the difference:

Hence, it can be reduced by 0.141

12r - 8 - 12

you have to combine like terms. below i have bolded the like terms:

12r - 8 - 12

together it combines to:

12r - 20

hope this !

the area of a triangle is determined by the formula: base x height * 1/2

you'll need to assign a base to the triangle. based on the vertices given, the simplest base would be the line segment from (-2,1) to (2,1). the distance between any two numbers is found by just subtracting them. here, you should subtract the x values to find the distance of this side.

2 - (-2) = 4.

so the distance (aka the length of the base) is 4. the height of the triangle is the distance between the base and the highest point on the triangle which is (3,4). we should subtract the y values this time to find the height/distance.

4 - 1 = 3

so the height is 3.

base = 4

height = 3

hope this if needed hmu
