Which statement correctly compares the mean number of students for the data in the plots?

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

"There are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School."

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to compute the mean for each.

Poplar Middle School:

Lets list the numbers

20,20,20,21,21,21,21,21,22,22,22,22,22,22,22,23,23,23,23,24

The average is sum of all divided by number of numbers, that will be:

435/20 = 21.75

Oak Middle School:

The numbers are:

20,21,21,22,22,23,23,23,23,24,24,24,25,25,26,26,27,27,28,29

The average is sum divided by number of numbers, that will be:

483/20 = 24.15

The difference in mean is:

24.15 - 21.75 = 2.4

We can say, that is about 2 more students in Oak Middle School, correct answer choice is "2nd answer choice" - "There are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School."

For each racing dragster, find the average fuel in gallons used per second.

Agata [3.3K]

As there are no given data to work with in this given problem, allow me to generally describe the steps involved in going about this type of problems.
If we are asked about rate, we simply divide the number of fuels (in gallons) used by the racing dragster by the time (in second) it takes for it to be consumed.
