The standard deviation is a better measure of spread for movies than it is for basketball games.

A box plot is a graphical rendition of statistical data based on the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.

As, Movies is more centric to mean and not skewed on a particular side whereas basketball games is not centric to mean but is skewed right then left.

Now, Standard deviation just measures the deviation or spread with respect to mean of collected data.

So, In the movies the data is more collected. Thus standard deviation is best suited for movie data.

Now, interquartile range. IQR relies on if the data is skewed.

So, in the basketball data the standard deviation will not give the information.

Hence, the standard deviation is a better measure of spread for movies than it is for basketball games.

Answer number 1 please.

Minchanka [31]

$\sf {a}^{2} = {13}^{2} - {5}^{2}$

Formula :

Base²= Hypotenuse² - Perpendicular ²

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a}^{2} = {13}^{2} - {5}^{2}$

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a}^{2} =169 - 25$

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a}^{2} =144$

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a} = \sqrt{144}$

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a} = \sqrt{12 \times 12}$

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a} = 12$

Remember the a² in formula has nothing to do with the a we have to find. :)

The sum of a number times 8 and 21 is less than -16.

vodka [1.7K]

Hello.

First of all, let the number be t.

8 times t can be written like this:

$\mathrm{8t}$

Notice that the number is before the variable and the times sign (×) is not there.

We can write it as 8×t, but we usually write it as 8t.

The sum of means we add:

8t+21

Now, "less than" is "<" :

$\mathrm{8t+21 < -16}$

Therefore, the answer is

$\mathrm{8t+21 < -16}$

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.

Choose the best description for the real number 35

Natalija [7]

Answer:

A) Irrational, because it is not a terminating or repeating decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time a square root results in a decimal, it will always never end, and never repeat. The square root of 35 qualifies for both of these qualities, therefore, making the answer (A). Hope this helps!

Find the total surface area.

Ede4ka [16]

Hey love! <3

Answer:

The right answer is A = 49.6 π ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(Let pi = 3.1415926535898)

The formula for calculating the surface area of a cylinder is A=2πrh+2πr^2

So if r = 4 ft

and h = 2.2 ft

A= 2π(4)(2.2)+2π(4)^2

Once we've plugged in our formulas our final surface area is A = 49.6 π ft2

Hope this helped you calculate the surface area! ◃┆◉◡◉┆▷ Sincerely, Kelsey from Brainly.
