I think it would be 15, because 3 doesn't go in evenly into 35. You might have the order of the ratio messed up.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:265.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of box $=12 m^3$

height is 3 times the width

let height, length and breadth be H, L & B

$H=3\times B$

$V=12=L\times B\times H$

4=B^2\times L[/tex]

$L=\frac{4}{B^2}$

Cost of side walls $ $8/m^2$

Cost of base $ $12/m^2$

Cost of side walls $=(2LH+2BH)\cdot 8$

Cost of base $=12LB$

Total cost $C=16LH+16BH+12LB$

$C=48LB+48B^2+12LB$

$C=\frac{192}{B}+48B^2+\frac{48}{B}$

differentiate C w.r.t B to get minimum cost

$\frac{\mathrm{d} C}{\mathrm{d} B}=-\frac{192}{B^2}+2\times 48 B-\frac{48}{B^2}$

$B^3=\frac{240}{2\times 48}$

$B=1.35 m$

$H=3\times 1.35=4.07 m$

L=2.19 m

C=$ 265.25

Answer the statistical measures and create a box and whiskers plot for the following set of data. 4,4,5,5, 6, 6, 8, 10, 11, 11,

vredina [299]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you take your smallest number, which in this case is 4 - then you find your maximum number which is 14. Then we can list these numbers on a piece of paper and cross a number out from each side until you reach the middle number which would be 8. Then you go from the min to the middle number which would be 5. Then you repeat between the max number and the middle number which is 11. So your minumum would be 4, max would be 14, Q1 would be 5 Median would be 8 and Q3 would be 11. Let me know if I got it right! I haven't done it for a while, but I am pretty sure this is correct..
