HEEEEELLLLPPP!!!! URGENT

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Seriously, there are trivial IF you under stand the stem and leaf plot. 4|3 4 6 means 43, 44, and 46 Are you SURE you can't answer the questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I never done this kind of problem before.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Then you have met the premise of my suspicion. Did you see what I did with 43, 44, and 46, above? The stem and leaf is just a way to represent values in a more orderly and compact manner.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okauy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if you see 3|4 5 8 9 what would the numbers be?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

The "Key" is trying to explain that to you. The number left of the vertical bar is the 10s digit. The numbers right of the vertical bar are all the observed 1s digits. So, 34, 35, 38, 39. Are you seeing it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

It's time to answer part (a). What is the least 10s digit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 0?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

No, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are your only choices. Don't even look on the right side for now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Okay, now it's time to look on the right side. What is the least 1s digit (right side) in the group that begins with 3 (left side)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for a the answer is 35?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Why do you doubt? Every expenditure in the 40s, 50, or 60s, clearly is greater than anything in the 30s. 37 and 38 are also greater than 35. You have just completed part (a). What about part (b)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay . so for part b when its talking about 60s is it talking about the column 6 on the left side?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Yes. Then what to do with the right side? Read the question carefully.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would we have to do something with the 14 couples part?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Just read question (b). What does it want to know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many couples spent an amount in the 60s

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

How many entries are there in the '6' row?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

You have just answered part (b)!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanx your being a big help. :) and part C is 48 right

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Perfect. Now, go read my first post. Pretty easy once you understand the table. Agreed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agreed :)

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Good work. Go get the next problem!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

another question do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would we do proportion?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

"Varies Inversely" MEANS \(Current = \dfrac{k}{Resistance}\). See how if "Resistance" increases, then "Current" must decrease? This is an "Inverse" relationship.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we would sub in the equation?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Correct. Just substitute the two given values and solve for the mysterious value "k".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but we dont know th resistance for a 10A

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

We don't care about 10 ohm yet. We need k. 8 A and 35 Ohm are just for this purpose. Substitute these and find k.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okauy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k = 280 ?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

It's really 280 A\(\Omega\), but you get the idea. Now you have a formula you can use to find the resistance needed for 10 A. Substitute 10 A and k and solve for ohms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANK YOU :)

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

No worries. It's what we do here. ;-)
