To determine the correct answer, you will need to find the ranges, means, medians, and mode of City B. You can compare the answers then to answer the question. Please see the attached picture for the necessary information.
The correct choice is the first statement about the mode for City B.
Answer:
![\huge\boxed{\sqrt[4]{16a^{-12}}=2a^{-3}=\dfrac{2}{a^3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Chuge%5Cboxed%7B%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B16a%5E%7B-12%7D%7D%3D2a%5E%7B-3%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B2%7D%7Ba%5E3%7D%7D)
Step-by-step explanation:
![16=2^4\\\\a^{-12}=a^{(-3)(4)}=\left(a^{-3}\right)^4\qquad\text{used}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\\sqrt[4]{16a^{-12}}=\bigg(16a^{-12}\bigg)^\frac{1}{4}\qquad\text{used}\ a^\frac{1}{n}=\sqrt[n]{a}\\\\=\bigg(2^4(a^{-3})^4\bigg)^\frac{1}{4}\qquad\text{use}\ (ab)^n=a^nb^n\\\\=\bigg(2^4\bigg)^\frac{1}{4}\bigg[(a^{-3})^4\bigg]^\frac{1}{4}\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\=2^{(4)(\frac{1}{4})}(a^{-3})^{(4)(\frac{1}{4})}=2^1(a^{-3})^1=2a^{-3}\qquad\text{use}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=16%3D2%5E4%5C%5C%5C%5Ca%5E%7B-12%7D%3Da%5E%7B%28-3%29%284%29%7D%3D%5Cleft%28a%5E%7B-3%7D%5Cright%29%5E4%5Cqquad%5Ctext%7Bused%7D%5C%20%28a%5En%29%5Em%3Da%5E%7Bnm%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B16a%5E%7B-12%7D%7D%3D%5Cbigg%2816a%5E%7B-12%7D%5Cbigg%29%5E%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5Cqquad%5Ctext%7Bused%7D%5C%20a%5E%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bn%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cbigg%282%5E4%28a%5E%7B-3%7D%29%5E4%5Cbigg%29%5E%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5Cqquad%5Ctext%7Buse%7D%5C%20%28ab%29%5En%3Da%5Enb%5En%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cbigg%282%5E4%5Cbigg%29%5E%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5Cbigg%5B%28a%5E%7B-3%7D%29%5E4%5Cbigg%5D%5E%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5Cqquad%5Ctext%7Buse%7D%5C%20%28a%5En%29%5Em%3Da%5E%7Bnm%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D2%5E%7B%284%29%28%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%29%7D%28a%5E%7B-3%7D%29%5E%7B%284%29%28%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%29%7D%3D2%5E1%28a%5E%7B-3%7D%29%5E1%3D2a%5E%7B-3%7D%5Cqquad%5Ctext%7Buse%7D%5C%20a%5E%7B-n%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Ba%5En%7D)

It would take 22 weeks to produce 429 wet suits
Maria will do more laps this year, assuming that last year they didn't do one or zero laps.
The answer is b cuz it changes how it go
