A local real estate magazine used the median instead of the mean when it reported the SAT score of the average student who atten

Answer:

Since the data is strongly skewed to the right this means that the big majority of the scores are above the mean. As a consecuence, the mean doesnt reflect the overall performance of the students, in reality this good performance (compared to the mean) is compensated by a few very poor grades (we may assume blank exams), which push the mean back. This is why the median is a more accurate indicator of the score of the average student, because the median is less affected by the swewedness than the median is.

Complete the missing parts of the paragraph proof. Draw a perpendicular from P to AB. Label the intersection C. We are given tha
zvonat [6]
<span>1) We are given that PA = PB, so PA ≅ PB by the definition of the radius.

</span>When you draw a perpendicular to a segment AB, you take the compass, point it at A and draw an arc of size AB, then you do the same pointing the compass on B. Point P will be one of the intersections of those two arcs. Therefore PA and PB correspond to the radii of the arcs, which were taken both equal to AB, therefore they are congruent. 
 
2) We know that angles PCA and PCB are right angles by the definition of perpendicular.

Perpendicularity is the relation between two lines that meet at a right angle. Since we know that PC is perpendicular to AB by construction, ∠PCA and ∠PCB are right angles.
 
3) PC ≅ PC by the reflexive property congruence.

The reflexive property congruence states that any shape is congruent to itself.

4) So, triangle ACP is congruent to triangle BCP by HL, and AC ≅ BC by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent). 

CPCTC states that if two triangles are congruent, then all of the corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Since ΔACP ≡ ΔBCP, then the corresponding sides AC and BC are congruent.
 
5) Since PC is perpendicular to and bisects AB, P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB by the definition of the perpendicular bisector. 

<span>The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line that cuts the segment into two equal parts (bisector) and that forms with the segment a right angle (perpendicular). Any point on the perpendicular bisector has the same distance from the segment's extremities. PC has exactly the characteristics of a perpendicular bisector of AB. </span>

18 gallons of milk had passed the expiration date.

Explanation step by step

Multiply 120x 15%
Turn 15% into a decimal which is 0.15 so now it’s 120x0.15 which equals to 18.

Jamie had 4/5 of a spool of twine. He then used 1/2 of a spool of twine to make friendship knots. Over. Explain how you know whe
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Jamie's claims are correct because 3/10 of the spool twine is left over after using 1/2 of the spool twin for friendship knot

Step-by-step explanation:

Full question: He claims to have 3/10 of the original spool of twine leftover.

First, we compare 3/10 with 4/5 - 1/2

The lowest common multiple for2 and 5 is 10.

To write 4/5 as a fraction with common denominator, multiply numerator and denominator by 2

4/5 = (4×2)/(5×2) = 8/10

To write 1/2 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply denominator and numerator by5

1/2 =(1×5)/(2×5) = 5/0

So we have :

8/10 - 5/10

Since denominators are equal ,we go ahead and subtract

8/10 - 5/10 = (8-5)/10 = 3/10
