Considering the simple inverse rule of three, 12 workers will be needed to complete a task in 6 days, given that 8 workers can complete the same task in 9 days.

<h3>Inversely proportional relationship</h3>

Two variables are related when a change in one of them causes a change in the other.

Two variables have an inversely proportional relationship when an increase in one variable causes the other to decrease or, analogously, a decrease in one causes the other to increase.

In other words, two magnitudes are inversely proportional when as one increases, the other decreases in the same proportion, and as the first decreases, the second increases in the same proportion.

<h3>Simple inverse rule of three</h3>

The simple inverse rule of three is used when the problem deals with two inversely proportional magnitudes where the amount of one of a magnitude corresponding to a given amount of the other magnitude must be calculated.

To carry out an inverse rule of three, it must be taken into account that if for a value A of one magnitude, there is a value B of the other magnitude, while for a value of C of the first magnitude, the second magnitude is will correspond a value of X:

A → B

C → X

So: X=\frac{AxB}{C}

<h3>Amount of workers needed</h3>

The number of people who perform a task is inversely proportional to the time it takes: a greater number of workers corresponds to less time to perform the task. Then:

9 days → 8 workers

6 days → amount of workers

So:amount of workers=\frac{9 daysx8 workers}{6 days}

<u><em>amount of workers= 12 workers</em></u>

Finally, 12 workers will be needed to complete a task in 6 days, given that 8 workers can complete the same task in 9 days.

When the outliers are removed, how does the mean change? dot plot with 1 on 50, 1 on 76, 1 on 78, 2 on 79, 1 on 80, 1 on 81, 2 o
sveticcg [70]
We can plot this data on MS Excel and determine the distribution of these data reflected on the graph. Among these numbers, 50 is the outlier since it is very far from the other numbers ranging from 76 to 83. We can perform interquartile range to determine or verify the outliers in the data set. In this respect, we can see that there is not much distribution seen. The average of all data sets is equal to 96.25. When the outlier (50) is removed, we expect the mean to become higher since a low number was ommitted including high numbers only. Outliers are obtained from special causations such as human errors.

hram777 [196]
Surface area = 2(ab+bc+ac)
a=5.2 ft,  b=2.4 ft, c=3.5ft

Surface area = 2(5.2 * 2.4 + 2.4 * 3.5 + 3.5 * 5.2) =
                         2(12.48 + 8.4 + 18.2) =
