Mt. SAC Important Message

Mt. SAC is aware of a fire in La Verne approximately one mile from Brackett Field. There is no impact on the college’s Brackett Field operations at this time. We are monitoring the situation with faculty and staff at the location, as well as air quality for the Mt. SAC campus. We will provide updates as needed.

  • Samples of what you should know before Math 110:
    1. If x = 14 and y = 11, calculate the value open parenthesis x minus y close parenthesis squared
    2. Solve the following formula for x.  z equals start fraction x minus x bar over s end fraction  
    3. Given the function f of x equals 2 x minus 3, plot the points on the graph of this function for the x-values 2, 3, 4.
    4. Simplify the following expression and write the answer as a decimal.    1 minus 34 forty ninths     
    5. Graph the following inequality on a number line:   23.478 < x < 35.962 
  • Samples of what you will learn in Math 110:
    1.  For the given data set, build a stem-and-leaf plot. 12, 14, 14, 21, 22, 28, 29, 31, 33
    2. A die has 6 sides labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Find the probability of rolling a 2. 
    3. Find the probability that a coin is flipped 8 times and we get tails exactly 3 times.
    4. A sample is taken from a population. The sample values are 12, 14, 14, 21, 22, 28, 29, 31, 33.  Use a 5% significance to test the claim that the mean population value is above 29.0. 
      • Solution
        The evidence indicates that it is unlikely that the population mean is above 29.0.
    5. The following data are child ages and weights. Build a regression model and use the model to predict the weight of a 10-year-old child. Explain the prediction.
     
    6              6              7              8              8              9              9              10           11
    70           60           70           60           90           70           80           90           120
      • Solution
        The model is  Y hat equals 8 point 3 0 1 9 plus 8 point 5 8 4 9 x
        The predicted weight is y hat equals 94 point 1 5
        Based on our data, the predicted weight of a 10-year-old child is 94.15 pounds
