Answer:

The mean would be $322,343 and the median would be $196,723.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distribution of individual incomes is skewed to the right, it means that the distribution has a long right tail.

Drawing a distribution with this characteristic, we can see how the majority of the data falls into the left side of the graphic, meaning that a lot of people receive less income. Following this reasoning, the mean which is the amount of the data (in this case individual income) divided by the amount of people, would be the higher number, meaning that the few people who earn more money would influence in making this number higher.

Following this reasoning, the median (which is not influenced by this difference) would be the less high number.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink will be <em>32.5%.</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Sugar concentration of first drink = 20%

Volume of first soda = 250 ml

Sugar in first soda = 20% of 250 ...... (1)

Sugar concentration of second drink = 45%

Volume of second soda = 250 ml

Sugar in second soda = 45% of 250 ...... (2)

Let x\% be the sugar concentration in resultant mixture.

Volume of mixture = 250 + 250 = 500 ml

Sugar in mixture = x\% of 500 ml ...... (3)

Total sugar concentration (Adding (1) and (2)) and equating it to equation (3):

20% of 250 + 45% of 250 = x\% of 500

\Rightarrow \dfrac{20}{100} \times 250 + \dfrac{45}{100} \times 250 =  \dfrac{x}{100} \times 500\\\Rightarrow 2 \times x = 65\\\Rightarrow x = 32.5\%

Hence, Sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink will be <em>32.5%.</em>
