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!
 

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

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 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

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...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
