Answer:

Option A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a table which shows data from a survey about the amount of time students spend doing homework each week.

          College    HS

High    50            16

Low     5                0

Q1       7.5             9.5

Q3      15              14.5

 IQR    7.5             5

Median  11             13

Mean     13.8         10.7

Std dev 6.4            5.3

1.5IQR         11.25         7.5

Q1-1.5IQR     -9.38      -12

Q3+1.5IQR    37.5       29.5

WE find that there is only one outlier in college with 50 as high.

Except that all others are well within IQR range.  Hence outliers are minimum

So option A is right.

The length of a pen is 5 more than its width.The perimeter is 26 m.Find the length and the width.
meriva
P=2l+2w

Since it is given that P=26m, length is 5 more than its width (w+5), we'll work it out in the perimeter formula.

26=2(w+5)+2w
26=2w+10+2w
26=4w+10
4w=26-10
4w=16
w=4

Thus the width is 4m. Let's find the length.

l=w+5
l=4+5
l=9

The length of a pen is 9m.

An item that cost $5.50 is marked up %60. What is the new price of the item after the markup? Show work please​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$8.80

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the new price, you need to add 60% of the original price (5.50) to the original price. You have two options:

1) multiply $5.50*0.6 to get 60% of the original price. You would get $3.30. Then add $3.30+$5.50, which equals $8.80. This way takes longer but shows you all the steps.

2) The shorter way is to simply multiply $5.50*1.6, which also equals $8.80. This works because the "1" automatically adds the 5.50 to 60% of the original price, this way you don't have to multiply then add.

If you don't understand how the second way works or your teacher taught you #1, just do it the first way.

Is a linear model or a quadratic model a better fit
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Quadratic

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations are straight lines while quadratics are curved in a "u" shape. These points have a vertex and go up on both sides, a quadratic would be able to better fit this since their y values repeat, unlike linear models.
