The rise or an increase in altitude is represented by positive sign and a decend or decrease in altitude is represented by negative sign. 

First the helicopter descended 1200 feet. So the change in altitude will be -1200 feet.

Then the helicopter rose by 800 feet. So the change in altitude will be 800 feet.

Finally the helicopter descended by 450 feet. So the change in altitude will be -450 feet.

The net change in altitude will be the sum of all the above 3 changes. 
Change in altitude = -1200 + 800 - 450 = -850 feet

The negative sign indicates a descend i.e. loss in altitude. So the net change in altitude was a loss of 850 feet.

Two weeks in a row, the golf course hosts a group of golfers. The second week had 10 more golfers than the first week. Use the d
Trava [24]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first dot plot the given data set for week 1 is

62, 68, 68, 68, 69, 70, 70, 72, 72, 72, 75, 75, 76, 78, 78, 80, 80, 80, 89, 89

Divide the data in 4 equal parts.

(62, 68, 68, 68, 69), (70, 70, 72, 72, 72), (75, 75, 76, 78, 78), (80, 80, 80, 89, 89)

Range=Maximum-Minimum=89-62=27

Median=\frac{72+75}{2}=73.5

Mean=\frac{\sum x}{n}=\frac{1491}{20}=74.55

From the second dot plot the given data set for week 2 is

62, 68, 68, 68, 69, 70, 70, 72, 72, 72, 75, 75, 76, 78, 78, 80, 80, 80, 85, 86, 86, 86, 88, 88, 88, 88, 89, 89, 89, 89

Divide the data in 4 equal parts.

(62, 68, 68, 68, 69, 70, 70), 72, (72, 72, 75, 75, 76, 78, 78), (80, 80, 80, 85, 86, 86, 86), 88, (88, 88, 88, 89, 89, 89, 89)

Range=Maximum-Minimum=89-62=27

Median=\frac{78+80}{2}=79

Mean=\frac{\sum x}{n}=\frac{2364}{30}=78.8

The range for Week 1 is equal to the range for Week 2.

The median for Week 2 is more than the median for Week 1.

The mean for Week 2 is more than the mean for Week 1.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

A farmer has a rectangular plot of land. There is a bother identical plot of land 100 yards east and 100 yards north. Find the c
Anna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangular plot = Length × width

With the aid of the diagram attached below.

<u>For plot 1:</u>

The area = ( 60 - 20 ) × ( 80 - 20 )

Area = 40 × 60

Area = 2400 sq yard

<u>For plot 2:</u>

Area = (160 - 120 ) × ( 180 - 120 )

Area = 40 × 60

Area = 2400 sq yard

Therefore, the combined area of the two plots of land = 2400 + 2400

= 4800 square yards
