Answer:

Scale of 181: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do is to pass the feet by the meter, to work in the same units and thus create a consistent scale:

We know that one foot equals 0.3048 meters, therefore:

8 feet * 0.3048 meters / 1 foot = 2.4384 meters

So the scale would be:

443.2 / 2.4384 = 181.75

Which means that it is best to make a scale of 181: 1

Where 181 meters from the Empire State Building would equal 1 meter at home 0 181 inches would equal 1 inch at home

What is the difference between the mean and the median of the data set?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Your answer is 0 (zero).

<u>Step</u><u> </u><u>by</u><u> </u><u>Step</u><u> </u><u>Explanations</u><u>:</u>

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>mean</u><u>:</u>

1. Add all the numbers; which is 90

2. Divide by how numbers there are, for this case there are 6 numbers; 90/6 = 15

3. Your mean is 15

For Median:

1. Order the numbers from lest to greatest. Ex: 8, 10, 12, 18, 20, 22

2. Find the middle number(s), which are 12 &18

3. Add; 12 + 18 = 30

4. Divide; 30/2 =15

5. Your Median is 15

So now the question asks "what's the difference?" which means subtraction: 15 - 15 = 0
