About 5 barrels will be produced in a day. 172 divided by 42 equals 4.09. You can't have part of a barrel. Therefore, you will round up to five barrels.

Answer:

About 4barrels of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

If the amount of gallons of oil an oil well produce everyday is 172gallons and a standard oil barrel holds 42gallons of oil, the amount of barrel produced in a day can be expressed as;

Amount of barrel produced per day = Total gallons of oil per day/amount of oil per barrel

Amount of barrel produced per day = 172/42

Amount of barrel produced per day = 4.10

This shows that about 4barrels of oil will be produced in a day.

Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AD = 9
8090 [49]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a special rule: BD^2=AD*DC (the squared height in right triangle drawn to hypotenuse is equal to the product of the parts of hypotenuse on which height divides the hypotenuse) 12^2=9*DC

DC=16

Given the box plot, will the mean or the median provide a better description of the center? box plot with min at 11, Q1 at 22. 5
Slav-nsk [51]

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right.

Given that

The box plot with the following parameters:  

Minimum value at 11,

First Quartile, Q1 at 22.5,

Median at 34.5,

Third Quartile, Q3 at 36,

Maximum value at 37.5.

According to the question

When a distribution has a longer tail to one of its sides, then it is said to be skewed.

Since the tail is longer to the left, it is said to be left-skewed.

The data distribution is skewed to the left because the median (34.5) is closer to the third quartile (36) than to the first quartile  (22.5).

For skewed data, we always prefer the median because it is less affected by the outliers and if the mean is chosen, the value of the mean is biased towards the side that has larger values while the median does not get affected by it. So, we choose the median.

For skewed distributions, the median is the best measure of center.

Hence, the median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right.
