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.

An army base in the desert is located at the origin, O of an x-y coordinate system. A soldier at point P needs to determine his

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer/step-by-step explanation

The soldier at point P lie on a parabola because he determined his position and distances from towns A and B through measurement of the difference in timing (phase) of radio signals received from the two towns.

This analysis of the signal time difference gives the difference in distance of the soldier at P, from the towns.

This process is known as hyperbolic navigation.

These distances of point P from towns A and B is estimated by the soldier at point P, by measuring the delay localizes the receiver to a hyperbolic line on a chart.

Two hyperbolic lines will be drawn by taking timing measurements from the

towns A and B .

Point P will be at the intersection of the lines.

These distances of point P(The soldier's positions) from town A and town B were determined using the timing of the signals received from the two towns, due to the fact that point P was on a certain hyperbola.

a(t)=(t−k)(t−3)(t−6)(t+3) is a polynomial function of tt, where kk is a constant. Given that a(2)=0a(2)=0, what is the absolute

Crank

Since $a(2)=0$ , we know that $t-2$ must be a factor of $a(t)$ , so $k=2$ . Then the zeros of $a(t)$ are $t=2,3,6,-3$ , and their product is -108, whose absolute value is 108.

50 is 40% of what number

Tpy6a [65]

125. To find the answer to these questions, divide the number (50) by the percent in decimal form (40% = 0.4) 50 / 0.4 = 125. To make sure, 125 x 0.4 = 50.
