Answer:

Bob's typing speed is 39 words per minute.

Bill's typing speed is 58 words per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given : </u>

Bill can type 19 words per minute faster than bob. their combined typing speed is 97 words per minute.

<u>To Find : </u>

Bobs typing speed

<u>Solution : </u>

Let the bobs typing speed is x

According to the given question :

Bobs typing speed is x

Bill's typing speed is 19+x

Their combined speed is 97 words per minute.

<u>Solving value x : </u>

x + 19+x = 97

2x + 19 = 97

2x = 97 - 19

2x = 78

x = 78/2

x = 39

Bobs typing speed = 39

Bill's typing speed 39 + 19 = 58

Hence, Bobs speed is 39 words per minute.

Explain when the median of a data set is a better measure of center than the mean.
shusha [124]
With data, you can have outliers. Outliers are values that do not follow what the range or majority of the data you collected so a value of 45, 42, 45, 48, 42, 44, 88, the mean will obviously be different because the 88 is going to change the whole data. But, if you put it from least to greatest, you can see what the majority of data is, (what the middle value is) to see what is in the middle range of what you have collect- the outliers don't affect what you have. Hence, 42, 42, 44, 45, 45, 88 (it's not much data) but it can show what the majority of data is. Hope this helps :> :)

Find the percent increase from 200 to 240
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

  20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change can be found from ...

  % change = ((new value)/(reference value) -1) × 100%

  = (240/200 -1) × 100%

  = 0.20 × 100%

  = 20%

240 is an increase of 20% from 200.
