The manager of a grocery store wants to determine the average amount of money spent at his store as it compares to the average d

ollar amount spent at his competitor's store. At the end of the day, he reviews the amounts of the last 15 grocery orders. The amounts rounded to the nearest dollar are: 41, 38, 19, 30, 21, 53, 34, 34, 37, 29, 50, 43, 57, 28, 50 He then visits the store of his competitor and surveys the first 15 people leaving the store with groceries. The amounts he records, also rounded to the nearest dollar, are: 86, 15, 75, 40, 51, 60, 27, 45, 112, 7, 65, 31, 18, 27, 69 What is the average amount of money spent at each store to the nearest cent? For which store is the mean a better representation of the data? In two or more complete sentences, explain your answer.

Given

Expenditures at Manager's Store; expenditures at Competitor's Store.

Find

a) average spent at each store

b) which store is better represented by the mean value

c) an explanation for the answer in ≥ 2 sentences

Solution

a) The sum of expenditures divided by the number of expenditures (15) is ...

... average for Manager's Store: $37.60

... average for Competitor's Store: $48.53

b) The expenditures at Manager's Store are well-represented by the mean (average).

c) The range of expenditures at Competitor's Store is significantly higher than at Manager's store, so a single number such as mean or median does not represent the data well. The expenditures at Manager's store are more compactly grouped around the mean and median, which are closer together, so the mean is a good representation of Manager's Store expenditures overall.

At 8:00 a.m., there were t inches of snow on the ground. At 5:00 p.m., there were 3t inches of snow on the ground. How many more
Anastaziya [24]

we conclude that at 5:00 p.m. there are 8 more inches of snow than at 8:00 a.m.

<h3>How many more inches of snow were on the ground at 5:00 p.m. than at 8:00 a.m.?</h3>

We know that at 8:00 a.m. there were t inches of snow in the ground.

At 5:00 p.m. there were 3t inches of snow in the ground.

Then the difference between the heights of the snow is:

3t- t = 2t

And we know that at 5:00 p.m. there were 12 inches of snow then we can solve the linear equation for t:

3t = 12in

t = (12in)/3 = 4 in

Replacing that in the difference of heights:

2t = 2*4in = 8in

From this, we conclude that at 5:00 p.m. there are 8 more inches of snow than at 8:00 a.m.

Perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 90 m. If the length of the two equal sides is three fourth of the unequal side , find the
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The length of the equal side is 27 meters each and that of the unequal side is 36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two sides being equal (also two equal base angles).

Let us assume the length of the two equal sides to be x meters each, and the length of the unequal side to be y meter. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 90 m, it can be expressed as:

x + x + y = 90

2x + y = 90

But the length of the equal side is  three fourth of the unequal side, i.e x = 3/4y

Therefore:

2(3/4y) + y = 90

3/2y + y = 90

2.5y = 90

y = 90/2.5

y = 36 meters

Also x = 3/4 * 36 = 27 meters

The length of the equal side is 27 meters each and that of the unequal side is 36 meters

daser333 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Alex's age = x

Mark's age = y

Luke's age = a

x + y + z = 12

The possible combinations for their age are

1. 6, 3, 3

2. 3, 3, 6

3. 4,4, 4

4, 2, 2, 8

5. 8, 2, 2

6. 2, 8, 2

7. 9, 2, 1

Etc the age can keep going as long as you can find any three numbers and add them to give you 12
