A person walks due south from point A for 500 yards and then due west for 300 yards, arriving at point B. Answer the following q
1 answer:
The total displacement of the person walking from point A to point B is 300 yards.
As shown in the figure we can conclude that the required method to calculate the total displacement is the Pythagoras theorem.
<h3>Pythagoras theorem in brief :</h3>According to the Pythagorean Theorem, the square that represents the hypotenuse, or side of a right triangle that faces the right angle, is equal to the total of the squares on the triangle's legs.(or, in popular algebraic notation, ).
Let,
a = 500
b= 300
Hence by using Pythagoras' theorem
Total displacement of the person = =
=
Thus the total displacement of the person from starting point is 300 yards.

Answer:
130.5
Explanation:
According to the stemplot attached (Which I think it is, and if not, then you only need to replace the procedure with your data and you should be fine), you need to calculate first the points of all ten students. In that plot, we can easily calculate the points.
The first number in the colum represents the centen of the point, while the numbers of the second column, represents the units of that centen, for example if you see:
16 | 8 5 6
This means that the point for the students are 168, 165 and 166. Three students, three points.
If you watch the stemplot, the points for the students are:
116, 118, 121, 124, 128, 133, 137, 142, 146 and 179.
The median can be calculated using the mean between the two values in the middle of the sequence.
In this case, half of ten is 5, so, the numbers from the middle in this sequence are 128 and 133, therefore:
Median = 128 + 133 / 2 = 130.5
