Answer:

2.1375 bottles of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

cardboard length = 14 1/4 ft, which is equivalent to (4*14 + 1)/4 = 57/4 ft

cardboard width = 6 ft

Rectangular cardboard area = length * width = 57/4 * 6 = (57*6)/4 = 342/4 ft²,  which can be simplified dividing numerator and denominator by 2: 171/2 ft²

If 1 bottle of paint covers an area of 40 square feet, then to paint 171/2 square feet the following proportion must be satisfied:

1  bottle of paint / 40 square feet = x bottles of paint / (171/2) square feet

x = (1/40) * (171/2) = (1*171)/(40*2) = 171/80 or (160 + 11)/80 = 160/80 + 11/80 = 2 11/80 or 2.1375 bottles of paint

Choose the best reason for using the median as the measure of central tendency.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The median is usually preferred in these situations because the value of the mean can be distorted by the outliers. However, it will depend on how influential the outliers are. If they do not significantly distort the mean, using the mean as the measure of central tendency will usually be preferred.
