The actual distance between cities is 580 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Map distance = 7\frac{1}{4} inches = \frac{29}{4}\ inches

Scale used;

\frac{1}{2}\ inches = 40\ miles

Multiplying both sides by 2

2*\frac{1}{2}=40*2\\1\ inch = 80\ miles\\

Now,

\frac{29}{4}\ inches = \frac{29}{4}*80\\\\\frac{29}{4}=29*20\\\\\frac{29}{4}\ inches = 580\ miles

The actual distance between cities is 580 miles.

kenny6666 [7]

circumference is C = πd, d = diameter.

we know the diameter is 60, so one time around the track is just C = π60 which if you plug that in your calculator, we get C ≈ 188.4955592153876.

What will be the value of median of a moderately asymmetrical distribution? If the mean and mode are 30 and 24 respectively.
sineoko [7]

The mean, the median and the mode are measures of central tendency, and they are related in some many ways, depending on the type of distribution.

The median of the moderately asymmetrical distribution is 26

The given parameters are:

Mean = 30

Mode = 24

For a moderately asymmetrical distribution, the mean, median and mode are related by the following equation:

Mode = 3 * Median - 2 * Mean

Substitute known values

30= 3 * Median - 2 * 24

30= 3 * Median - 48

Collect like terms

3 * Median =30+ 48

3 * Median =78

Divide both sides by 3

Median =26
