<h2>Answer:</h2>

The inference that can be made by the given data sets is: Option: B

       B) The median is the best measure to use to compare the sets.  

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a data set for Boys and Girls as:

Boys: 19, 23, 26, 27, 30

Girls: 14, 17, 21, 25, 168

  • clearly we could see that there is a outlier in the data of girls i.e. 168 as it is a too high value as compared to other data values in the set.

This means that there is a greater spread in the number of texts sent by girls as compared to boys.

and data for girls have a greater variance as compared to boys.

          Hence, option: A is discarded.

  • Also,

          Median of Boys= 26

          and Median for Girls = 21

This means that Median for the number of texts sent by boys is more than those by girls.

Hence, option: D is discarded.

  • Also we know that an outlier affect the mean and median of the data.

Hence, option: C is discarded.

  • We know that median of the data is the central tendency of the data and best compare the set of data.

          Hence, Option: B) is the correct answer.

Find the value of x and y so that both proportions will be correct:
andrew11 [14]

The values of x and y are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

The given proportions are.....

x: 1\frac{2}{3}=y: 3\frac{1}{3} and y:1.5=0.2:0.75

From the second proportion, we will get....

y:1.5=0.2:0.75\\ \\ \frac{y}{1.5}=\frac{0.2}{0.75} \\ \\ 0.75y=0.2*1.5\\ \\ 0.75y=0.3\\ \\ y=\frac{0.3}{0.75}=0.4

Now, we will plug this y=0.4 into the first proportion. So we will get....

x: 1\frac{2}{3}=y: 3\frac{1}{3}\\ \\ x: \frac{5}{3}=0.4:\frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \frac{x}{\frac{5}{3}}= \frac{0.4}{\frac{10}{3}}\\ \\ \frac{3x}{5}=\frac{1.2}{10}\\ \\ 30x=6\\ \\ x= \frac{6}{30}=0.2

So, the values of x and y are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively.

A 40 inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second price is 4times as long as the first piece and the third piece
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the first piece be x

Let the second piece 4x

Let the third piece = 5x

Total length = 40 inches.

Equation

x + 4x + 5x = 40                Combine

Solution

10x = 40                             Divide by 10

10x/10 = 40/10        

x = 4

Answer

The smallest piece (x) = 4

The middle piece 4x  = 4*4 = 16

The largest piece 5x= 5 * 4 = 20
