ANSWER CHOICE C

We have been given two box plots representing attendance at a local movie theater and high school basketball games. WE are asked to choose the correct option about the measure the spread of the data represented by box plots.

Since we know that Standard deviation is not a good measure of spread in highly skewed data. IQR is better measure of spread for highly skewed data.

We can see that box plot representing attendance at movies is right skewed, therefore, mean will be greater than median and SD will not be a good measure of spread.

Box plot representing basket-ball games attendance is left skewed left,therefore, mean will be less than median and SD will not be a good measure of spread.

Our both box plots are highly skewed, therefore, the IQR is the best measurement of spread for games and movies and option C is the correct choice.

What is the height of the building? need help ASAP!

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

178.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sin(60) = \frac{x}{200} \\ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} = \frac{x}{200} \\ x = 100 \times \sqrt{3}$

So,

$h = 5 + x = 5 + 100 \times \sqrt{3} = 178.2$

14. A right cone has a height of 14 in and a base diameter of 17 in.

Mars2501 [29]

Given:

The height of a right cone = 14 in

Base diameter = 17 in

To find:

The diagram of the cone and its lateral surface area.

Solution:

(a)

The diagram of a right cone with height 14 in and base diameter of 17 in is shown below.

Diagram is not to scale.

(b)

We know that lateral surface of the cone is

$A=\pi rl$

$A=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$ ...(i)

Where, r is the base radius, h is vertical height and l is the slant height of the cone.

Base radius of the cone = $\dfrac{\text{Base diameter}}{2}$

$r=\dfrac{17}{2}$

$r=8.5$

Now,

Putting r=8.5, h=14 and π=3.14 in (i), we get

$A=(3.14)(8.5)\sqrt{(8.5)^2+(14)^2}$

$A=26.69\sqrt{72.25+196}$

$A=26.69\sqrt{268.25}$

$A=437.1379$

$A\approx 437$

Therefore, the lateral surface area of the cone is 437 sq. inches.

Flecting points in the coordinate plane

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

E(-9, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of reflection is is the perpendicular bisector of the segment between the original point and its reflected image.

In the figure, the y-axis is halfway between points A and E, and is a vertical line perpendicular to the horizontal segment AE. Point E has the same y-coordinate as point A, but its x-coordinate has the opposite sign.

(x, y) ⇒ (-x, y) . . . . . . reflection across the y-axis

A(9, 2) ⇒ E(-9, 2) . . . . reflection of point A across the y-axis

You get point E when you reflect A across the y-axis.

<em>Additional comment</em>

When A is reflected across the line y=x, it becomes point B. When it is reflected across the origin, it becomes point C. Reflection across the x-axis maps point A to point D.

(x, y) ⇒ (y, x) . . . . reflection across y=x

(x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y) . . . reflection across the origin

(x, y) ⇒ (x, -y) . . . . reflection across the x-axis

(x, y) ⇒ (-y, -x) . . . reflection across the line y = -x
