AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user seeking urgent help with two statistics questions due tomorrow. They express confusion about determining the midpoint for the 31-40 and 41-50 intervals, questioning whether certain values are accurate. Additionally, they discuss their approach to assessing symmetry in a dataset, noting that they adjusted values to achieve a symmetric appearance. The user also critiques the presentation of a graph, suggesting it is poorly drawn and resembles a staircase. Overall, the user is looking for clarity and confirmation on their interpretations and calculations.

Hello Everyone!
I really need help on 2 questions and it is due tomorrow! So please help me when u can and ASAP

So for this one, this was easy, except for the 31-40 interval I'm not sure if it's 4.5, cause it's not necessarily exactly between and half of 4 and 5 and for the 41-50 interval I'm not sure if its actually a 3 and its somewhat confusing. Does anyone care to enlighten me?

For this one, I am also confused. For my answer I believe it is approximately symmetric, you know what I did? So I did like what you usually do I add and replace the bars so all of them can look symmetric,
and then for the last one it stays as 12 and if I break/divide it by 2, you get 6, and that will be perfectly symmetric. The thing is I don't know if my thesis is correct.
PLEASE KINDLY
HELP ME ASAP

I would say that the first one is just drawn badly! They did NOT have a fractional number of players on the floor! There were 2+ 1+ 4+ 3= 10 players.

For the next one, I have no idea what they mean by "shape"! I would probably say that this graph is shaped like a staircase!
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
