\begin{gathered} \text{Let assume one train spe}ed\text{ is x km/h} \\ \text{Second train spe}ed\text{ is }\Rightarrow(x+18)\text{ km/h} \\ \text{They m}eet\text{ in 2 hour,so} \\ 2=\frac{480}{x+x+18} \\ 2x+18=\frac{480}{2} \\ 2x=240-18 \\ x=\frac{222}{2} \\ x=111\text{ km/h (1st train spe}ed) \\ x+18=111+18=129\text{ km/hr (2nd rain sp}eed)\text{ } \end{gathered}

The sum of three integers is 92. The second number is three times the first number. The third number is ten less than twice the
SVEN [57.7K]
Given,
The sum of three integers is 92

So,
Let,
The first integer be "x"
The second integer be "y"
The third integer be "z"

Now,
According to the question,
y = 3x          ..............equation (1)
z = 2x - 10    .............. equation (2)
x + y + z = 92 ..............equation (3)

Now,
Substituting the value of "y" and "z" from equation (1) and (2), we get,

x + (3x) + (2x - 10) = 92
    x + 3x + 2x - 10 = 92
                  6x - 10 = 92
                         6x = 92 + 10
                           x = 102 / 6
                           x = 17

Now,
substituting the value of "x" in equation (1)
 y = 3 (17)
y = 51

Now,
Substituting the value of "x" in equation (2),

z = 2 (17 ) - 10
z = 34 - 10
z = 24


So, the numbers are 17, 51 and 24

How can you use the measures of center and the range to compare two populations?
DochEvi [55]

The measure of center and range to be used to compare the population is the median and the inter quartile range.

<u>Explanation:</u>

You utilize the median and the interquartile range (IQR) to portray skewed distributions of information. To look at two populaces, utilize the mean and the MAD when the two populations are symmetric. Utilize the middle and the IQR when possibly one or the two circulations are slanted.

In statistics and probability theory, the median is the worth isolating the higher half from the lower half of an information test, a populace or a likelihood circulation. For an informational collection, it might be thought of as the "center" esteem.
