Step-by-step explanation:

we have a rectangle, that is then cut in half diagonally into 2 right-angled triangles.

in our problem it does not matter which side is the larger and which is the shorter one, because the distance calculation for both cases involve one short and one long side. the sequence does not matter.

Mary walks one short and one large side to get to the opposite corner (from D to F) :

264 + 900 = 1,164 ft

Kate walks diagonally. and that diagonal is the Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle with a short and a long side of the rectangle.

so, Pythagoras applies :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle), and a and b are the legs.

in our case that means

diagonal² = 264² + 900² = 69,696 + 810,000 =

= 879,696

diagonal = sqrt(879,696) = 937.9211054... ft ≈ 938 ft

so, Kate walked

1,164 - 938 = 226 ft

less than Mary.

Answer:

Here we have the table for the 8 students that said yes.

a) Out of the 8 students, 5 purchased their favorite food more than four times a month.

The proportion will be p = 5/8, and this can not be simplified anymore because 5 is a prime number and 5 is not a factor of 8.

b) The mean time will be equal to the amount of each of the 8 purchased their favourite food divided by the total sample (8)

This is:

m = (6 + 4 + 3 + 8 +6 + 9 + 4 + 7)/8 = 5.875

c) Out of a sample of 20, 8 buy lunch regularly, this is; p1 = 8/20

The amount of students that regularly buy food will be:

p1*1000 = (8/20)*1000 = 400

And of those 400, 5/8 buy their favourite lunch more than 4 times per month:

(5/8)*400 = 250

d: The mean number of times that a student regularly buys salad.

We have 3 students that regularly buy salad (so we only do the math with those 3)

The mean is (8 + 6 + 7)/3 = 7

So for the students that regularly buy salad, the mean of times that the buy salad in a month is 7 times.
