22. The mean of 15 observations is 32. Find the resulting mean, if each observation is: (i) increased by 3 (ii) decreased by(v) increased by 60 percent ​

35 ;

32 + v

51.2

Step-by-step explanation:

If each observations in a particular set is increased or decreased by a uniform or fixed number, the mean of the resulting output will also increase by the same amount

Hence,

For 15 observations whose mean is 32

If each observation is increased by 3, then the resulting mean will also increase by 3 ; hence, new mean = 32 + 3 = 35

If each observation is decreased by v ; the resulting mean would also decrease by v ;

32 - v

If each observation is increased by 60% ; the resulting mean will be ;

(1 + 60%) * initial mean

(1 + 0.6) * 32

1.6 * 32 = 51.2

0.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth, d of snow (in cm) that accumulates in Harper's yard during the first h hours of a snowstorm can be calculated using the equation:

d=5h

When d=1cm, we want to determine the value of h.

1=5h

h=1/5=0.2

Therefore, it takes 0.2 hours for 1 centimeter of snow to accumulate in Harper's yard.
