The tutoring is a fresh way for the student to collect the information from the online. Generally, the tutoring contains chat, teleconferencing, web conferencing and another easy way of the information from back and front. In statistics practice problems tutoring, the tutoring giving the information about mean, median, mode, and range with some of the practice problems.


Example Problems - Statistics Practice Problems Tutoring:


Example 1:

Find out the mean of the following given sequence in statistics?

3,8,17,26,36,39,40.

Solution:

The given numbers are 3,8,17,26,36,39,40.

Mean:

Mean is the average of the given number. First find the total value of the given numbers.

Sum of the given numbers are = 3+8+17+26+36+39+40.

= 169.

The total value is divided by 7 (7 is the total given numbers) = `(169)/(7)`

= 24.1.

Example 2:

What is the median for the following sequence. 12,18,33,37,39.

Solution:

Center element of the given series is said to be median.

The number series is 12,18,33,37,39.

The middle element of the above series is 33.

So the value of median is 33.

Example 3:

Solve the range of the following in basic statistics?

11, 17, 19, 24, 28.

Triangles in Math

Introduction of Triangles in Math:

Triangles are closed loop that consists of three sides and three angles. The total interior angle of triangles is 180°. The triangles consist of vertex by joining the two sides of the triangles. The amplitude of the triangle is the distance between vertexes of triangles in to the opposite side of that same vertex of triangles. The length of the altitude is the height of the triangles .


Classification of Triangles in Math:


Classification of Triangles:

There are different types of triangles; they are acute angle triangles, obtuse angle triangles, right angle triangles, Isosceles triangles, equilateral triangles and scalene triangles.

Classification of triangles is based on sides and angles.

Classification based on the sides of the triangles:

Isosceles Triangles – Two sides are equal in this triangle.

Equilateral Triangles – All the three sides of the triangle is equal.

Scalene Triangles – All the three sides are different in length of the triangles.

Classification based on the angle of the triangles:

Acute angle Triangles – The three angles of the triangle is less than 90°.

Obtuse angle Triangles – One of the angles in triangle is greater than 90° (less than 180°).

Right angle Triangles – One of the sides of the triangle is 90°.


Formula and Example Problems – Triangles in Math:


Basic Formula – Triangles in Math:

Area of the triangles in math – ½ b(h)

Where,

b = Base length of the triangles.

h = Height length of the triangles.

Perimeter of the triangle – x + y + z

Where, x, y, and z are the sides of the triangles.

Example Problems – Triangles in Math:

Example 1:

Find the area and perimeter of the equilateral triangle, whose base is 5 cm and height, is 7 cm.

Solution:

Given: base (b) = 5 cm

Height (h) = 6 cm

Formula to find area and perimeter:

Area = 0.5 (b) (h)

Perimeter = a + b + c, where a, b, c are the sides of the equilateral triangle,

Here equilateral triangle have all three sides are equal. Therefore perimeter = 3 a

Area = 0.5 (5 (6)) = 15 cm^2

Perimeter = 3 (5) = 15 cm

Example 2:

Find the perimeter of the triangle whose sides are 4cm, 6cm and 7cm.

Solution:

Given: The sides of the triangle are, a = 4cm

b = 6cm and c = 7cm.

Formula:  Perimeter = a + b + c = 4 + 6 + 7 = 17cm.

Answer: perimeter of the triangle  = 17cm.

Multiplying Integers Practice

Introduction to multiplying integers practice:

Multiplying integers practice  is one of the important topics in mathematics. A multiplying is of the mathematical operation of scaling a number by another number. It is the basic operations in elementary arithmetic. Integer is the set of numbers in which positive whole numbers, negative whole numbers and zero. It has a complete unit or entity. But it has a no fractional part.

Positive whole number = {1, 2, 3, 4, …..}

Negative whole number = {-1, -2, -3, -4, …..}

Example for integers:

25, 1897, -665, 0, etc.,


Rules for multiplying integers practice:


Different rules for multiplying integers practice are,

Rule 1:

Positive number × Positive number = Positive number

Rule 2:

Positive number × - Negative number = - Negative number

Rule 3:

- Negative number × Positive number = - Negative number

Rule 4:

- Negative number × - Negative number = Positive number

Example problems for rules for multiplying integers practice:

Using rule 1:

12 × 12 = 144

Using rule 2:

15 × - 8 = - 120

Using rule 3:

-10 × 5 = - 50

Using rule 4:

- 14 × - 20 = 280


Example problems for multiplying integers practice:


Example 1:

Multiply the two integer numbers

12 × 3

Geometric Proofs Practice

Introduction for geometric proofs practice:

The geometric proofs practices are generally involved in solving the proof for some problems that involving the statements from different theorems that are earlierly solved. we have to analyze the question first and then we have to choose what kind of statements are used for the problems given. After those steps are taken, we have to match it for the statements with the problems. The proof represents the way that how to we prove the given problem or some postulates.

(Source from Wikipedia)

I like to share this Calculate Area of Polygon with you all through my article.

Examples to explain "geometric proofs practice"


We have to prove the straight line's equation is 3x + 2y = 7 and which is passing through the point (1,2) and which making the intercepts on the axes of the co-ordinate which are in the ratio 2 : 3.
Geometry proof:

The intercept form is    `x/a` + `y/b`  = 1   --------- (1)

The intercepts are in the ratio 2 : 3 ? a = 2k, b = 3k.

(1) becomes `x/(2k)` + `y/(3k)` = 1

i.e. 3x + 2y = 6k

We know that the point (1, 2) lies on the straight line given above, 3 + 4 = 6k

i.e. 6k = 7

Hence the required straight line's equation is 3x + 2y = 7

Thus we have proved the proof for finding the straight line's equation.

Practice:

In this problem as we are seen that it have specific points to prove the problems such that it having ratio on the concern and the point which the line passing.

Problems to explain "geometric proofs practice"


We have to prove that the point's co-ordinates are (8, 9) and (- 42, - 41) and given that it is reside on the straight line y = x + 1 which are at a distance of 5 units from the straight line 4x - 3y + 20 = 0
Geometry proof:

Let (x1, y1) be a point on y = x + 1

? y1 = x1 + 1 … (1)

The length of the perpendicular from (x1, y1) to the straight line

4x - 3y + 20 = 0 is `|(4x1 - 3y1 + 20)/sqrt(4^2 + (-3)^2)|`   = `+-`    `((4x1 - 3y1 + 20)/5)`

But the length of the perpendicular is given as 5.

?  `+-`    `((4x1 - 3y1 + 20)/5)`  = 5

4x1- 3y1 + 20 = `+-`  25

Considering the positive sign, 4x1- 3y1 + 20 = `+` 25

?                                   4x1 - 3y1 = 5 … (2)

Considering the positive sign, 4x1- 3y1 + 20 = `-` 25

?                                   4x1 - 3y1 =`-` 45 … (3)

Solving (1) and (2), we get x1 = 8, y1 = 9

Solving (1) and (3), we get x1 = - 42, y1 = - 41.

? The required points co-ordinates are (8, 9) and (- 42, - 41).

Thus we have proved the proof with the given points.

Practice:

In this problem as we are seen that it have specific points to prove the problems such that it having the perpendicular distance from the two straight lines.

Practice problems on geometric proof:

We have to prove the straight line's equation is x - `sqrt(3)` y + 12 = 0, if the perpendicular comes from the origin, which makes an 120° angle with x-axis and the distance from perpendicular comes from the origin is 6 units.
We have to show that the straight lines 132x +13 y - 9 = 0 and 132x + 13y - 10 = 0 are parallel.

Division Practice problems

Introduction to division practice problems:

In mathematics, especially in elementary arithmetic, division (÷) is the arithmetic operation that is the inverse of multiplication.

The following division methods are all based on the form Q = N / D where

• Q = Quotient

• N = Numerator (dividend)

• D = Denominator (divisor).

Specifically, if c times b equals a, written:

c x b = a

Where b is not zero, then a divided by b equals c, written:

a / b = c

In the above expression, a is called the dividend, b the divisor and c the quotient. (Source: Wikipedia)

I like to share this Difference Quotient Examples with you all through my article.

Example problems on division practice


Ex:1  Jack built a tower of blocks forty-five inches high. Each block in the tower is five inches tall. How many blocks were used to build the tower?

Sol: Jack built a tower of blocks forty-five inches high.

Each block in the tower is five inches tall.

So, total blocks = 45 / 5

Therefore total blocks used to build the tower = 9 blocks

Ex:2 The school's Internet connection transferred thirty six megabytes of data in six seconds. How many megabytes can it transfer in just one second?

Sol:

The school's Internet connection transferred thirty six megabytes Data in six seconds.

So, therefore total megabytes can it transfer in just one second

= 36 / 6 = 6 megabytes.

Ex:3 There are eight soft drink machines in the university. They hold sixty - four cases of soda altogether. How many cases does each machine hold?

Sol:

There are eight soft drink machines in the university.

They hold sixty - four cases of soda altogether.

Total cases of soda machine hold = 64 / 8

= 8 Cases of soda

Ex:4 Zachary used five thousand, five hundred forty-four chips to make a big batch of giant chocolate chip cookies. Each cookie got about eighteen chips. How many cookies did Zachary make?

Sol:

Zachary used five thousand, five hundred forty-four chips to make a big batch of giant chocolate chip cookies

Each cookie got about eighteen chips

So, total cookies Zachary make = 5544 / 18

= 308 Cookies

Ex:5 Twenty-five busses brought a total of seven hundred fifty passengers to the city. About how many passengers were on each bus?

Sol:

Twenty-five busses brought a total of seven hundred fifty passengers to the city.

So, total passengers were on each bus = 750 / 25

= 30 Passengers
